The funny thing about the pciture in post 69 is this, that person is Cory Everson, who had a career as a female bodybuilder, admitted to steroid use, and has had a fairly good about of plastic surgery (if you look at her through the years it is more than clear).

Another example of hurting your body for an unreachable ideal. There is nothing wrong with self improvement as long as it is realistic and done for the right reasons and not just because some billboard told you this is how you should look.

Well, lots of people risk some injury or death to make a living or get noticed -- nothing unusual or unexpected about that. It's probably more common among men. I don't think it's always smart, and what they do is not always legal, but it sure is common.
