I've said this before. I would like to not look at women with
humongously oversize breasts (And yes, Dolly Parton, this means you
too) or women with perfect teeth whitened to porcelain level shine,
smiling with their teeth. If you must smile, do it with the lips, not
the teeth. But am I going to get that from wikipedia. No chance.
Should I get that from wikipedia. Emphatically no. As offensive as I
find huge bazoomba-lollobrigidas, they should be served to me and to
everyone else on wikipedia. Because we don't hide huge bosoms on
wikipedia. Period.
