And it's totally normal for women to have cellulite. I'm small, and my thighs still dimple. It's called having a woman's body. That’s an unflattering angle for anyone, size 2 and beyond.

Guys who like girls built like 10 year old boys probably don't like girls. That broad, JLH, has a great ass, and I mean that in the most respectful way ‘broad with a great ass’ can be conveyed.

Real women are varied in a million different ways, why is that such a bad thing? Kudos Neil ;) (and a HUGE thank-you for the art fair, I just paid for Christmas!)

Perhaps it’s because I’m considering advertising on my site. Here’s my problem: If the Los Angeles Times didn’t take advertising, it simply wouldn’t exist. The same is true of most major publications. That’s because publishers have long known that customers will not pay fair value for the reporting, editing and production that goes into a newspaper. Americans cancel subscriptions over 5 cent increases for goodness sakes. Can you imagine what a daily newspaper would cost today if the price kept up with inflation over the last 100 years? No one wants to pay for content – even me. I’ve been reading papers online since the mid-1990s. But at the moment, the only known way to offset the cost of production is advertising. Moving to the Internet does not solve this problem. Reporters need health benefits and enough cash to feed their kids. Publishers have to pay for hardware, software, hosting, bandwidth, etc. If free websites don’t offer advertising to raise funding, how else will the information cycle continue? On the other hand, I dislike certain kinds of ads as much as you do. I would have freaked seeing a Burger King ad on my site since I regularly blast fast food. The problem with the advertising network you mentioned is no control over ad content. But these ad networks are poised to replace the mishmash of advertising sites out there right now. Why? Because advertisers can’t keep going go to 500 blogs to place one ad. Instead, they want to buy from one or two sources. I don’t know what the solution is. If I find it, I’ll invite you to my new house in Santa Barbara. I must be getting old; I’m more interested in the advertising rant issue. Perhaps it’s because I’m considering advertising on my site.

I felt the same way when people were making fun of Brittney Spears at the MTV thingy....ok, maybe it wasn't the best thing for HER image to show up on live television less than toned, but she still looks a hell of a lot better than me. It's a great world when my 95 pound twelve year old daughter thinks she's fat because she doesn't look like Twiggy. I know MY ass doesn’t look that good!

I didn't expect so many accolades for saying very little. There's nothing really special here. I just like asses. My point was really to make fun of the advertisers who only care about selling to the masses and have no clue what content they are indirectly "advocating." If the LA Times can advertise on this crappy site, why not put ads on porno sites? Wow, this is the first time I checked in today. I didn’t expect so many accolades for saying very little.

If I turned around on a beach..and found some idiot taking a picture of my bootie. I feel sorry for her, and at the same time, think she's done us all a great service. An ass..sometimes looks like an ass..all human. I appreciate her curves. I would snap. If I turned around on a beach..and found some idiot taking a picture of my bootie.
