The missus is watching a programme right now about anorexia, and they've just shown a load of 'pro-ana' websites.

 

Here's one, and they're discussing the fact they've just been on: http://community.livejournal.com/proanorexia

 

???

 

Man, our societies are de-generating so rapidly, in the sense that we've tried and done most things that we constantly feel the need to pre-occupy ourselves with more. constantly. Hardly anything is taboo anymore as society opens up more and more. Pretty soon, not much of life will make sense.

I can understand the suicide angle more tbh.

 

Remember that lad who topped himself live on his webcam. Made only worse by the sick sods who encouraged him. Having flicked through the site its there choice really, some of them seem incredibly self aware to their own problem, if they do not want the help then theirs little that can be done.

These are the only people in the world who'd be jealous of the food crises in Africa.

There are plenty of people who are pro smoking, its just as bad.

 

There is a high risk that smoking could kill you.  There is a much, much higher risk that not eating will kill you.  Not the same in my opinion.  Most smokers understand the risks perfectly well whereas these anorexics don't understand the basic link between the consumption of food and health. 

 

What I don't understand is the parents and spouses of these girls who are failing to notice that their loved ones resemble Skeletor, never eat anything or disappear to the toilet with the tap running 5 minutes after meal time.

I remember way back yonder to the mid 80's,when i owned a Spitting Image annual/book.in a mock woman's weekly/sunday supplement type section,they had a celebrity book review in,which always creased me up no end.

 

The book was War and Peace or something of that genre,and it had review quotes by celebs of the day...

 

"I couldn't put it down"- Ludovic Kennedy

 

 

"I couldn't pick it up"-Lena Zavaroni.

Turns out that may have been a poor example.  I just did a Google search for Skeletor since its been a few years since I last saw Masters of the Universe, and these were the first results.
