Burned through all the good stuff on the DVR and was surfing the channels in this late summer wasteland of crapola and caught the last 20 minutes of Supersized She on TLC.
It was like a trainwreck - I was appalled, but couldn't look away. Female bodybuilding is a strange and scary sport, phenomenon, cult? I'm not really sure what it is. I missed the first part so I don't know if steroids or hormones were brought up, but there is no way a female can put on that kind of bulk naturally. The photo is of Lenda Murray who has won the Ms. Olympia 7 times.
The particular focus of this program was a female from England who invested in a pair of fake boobs, but didn't feel the need to fix her teeth, to compete in the Ms. Olympia contest. I can remember seeing female bodybuilding contests on ESPN years ago before cosmetic surgery was so commonplace and the women had no tits at all. I believe they wore the bikini tops simply not to be confused with the men, but now they got big ta-tas. It is even more disturbing. My guess is that these women are lesbians (hey, whatever floats your boat) and the people interested in this sport are the same? I could be wrong, tho. Tell me guys, are men turned on by that?
Anyway, the subject of the show came in seventh place. The judges said her legs weren't big enough and she was discussing with Mum and Dad her plan to work on that. Her parents were Jo and Joanna Schmo from London. Easy to tell they "just don't understand" their little girl.
I see TLC has another freak show planned this week called "Archie, the 84 lb baby" Think I will just pass on that one - have trouble sleeping as it is.
