I can see it now. She's in the hospital, having just delivered her baby. She looks at her newborn and exclaims, "Wait, but, but, he doesn't have elf ears! This can't be my baby!"
I have no problem with body modification or fandom, but perhaps such people should put a little less time, effort, and money into looks and recreational pursuits and a little more into educating themselves.
From what I've learned from a body mod enthusiast friend of mine, elf ears are extremely popular. There was even a recent episode of Law & Order: SVU that mentioned / showed them.
As for this girl, I'm hoping the anaesthetic temporarily went to her head.
Here might be the logic. As a newborn she had her ears pierced because her parents got them pierced and told her she was born that way because they had ear piercings. I would not expect parents who get their baby's ear pierced to be too high on the IQ curve, nor have the ability to raise someone who is.
I think parents who get their baby's ears pierced are acting on a cultural prediliction, rather than from a low IQ. However, if the parents actually told their child that they were born that way, then yes, definitely not high on the IQ curve.
Always amusing how long the belief in Lamarckian genetics has persisted, when the empirical evidence it doesn't work is around us constantly. Among other things, if it worked, I wouldn't have needed to have been circumcised. (My ancestors have been taking 20% off the top for, what, 4000 years now?) (Insert joke about the Rabbi who didn't get paid for circumcisions here. Also, the one about the briefcase.)
There's a really good chance her kids will be born with her intellect though...
ReplyDeleteHaving kids would first require someone desperate enough to stick their dick in this crazy woman.
DeleteThe great thing is she's dumb enough any guy could get her... the bad thing is she's dumb enough any guy could get her.

DeleteDarwinism, please work your magic, I mean science...
ReplyDeleteYou mean you hope for her to win a Darwin Award?
DeleteAnonymous, do you happen to have elf ears, by any chance? ;)
DeleteBy that logic I'm going to get turned into Robocop so I can have Robocop kids.
ReplyDeleteLamarck and Lysenko nod approvingly.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post. (You beat me to it)
DeleteThere is not a facepalm big enough T_T
ReplyDeleteAll she needs to do now is find the Triforce! "He/She who touches it will have whatever he/she desires granted!"
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one thinking that the plastic surgeon who performed this idiocy should lose his license?
ReplyDeleteIf it was a surgeon. Ear pointing is usually at the hands of a piercer or tattoo artist.
DeleteI'm surprised she can read. Maybe she just looks at the pictures.
ReplyDeleteOh my god, what?
ReplyDeleteOh dear...
ReplyDeleteMaybe she's a Lamarckian.
ReplyDeleteIck!
ReplyDeleteThe coolest part is that now she got this gone there's a really good chanc that she won't have kids.
ReplyDeleteAt least I hope so.
I have no problem with body modification or fandom, but perhaps such people should put a little less time, effort, and money into looks and recreational pursuits and a little more into educating themselves.
ReplyDeleteWow. If that's true, my kids will all be born with tattoos, fillings, and scars.
ReplyDeleteI think certain body-mods should include an entrance exam. Then again, I think the same about having kids.
ReplyDeleteWhat if Zelda was a girl.
ReplyDeleteAnon 3:02... Zelda was a girl.
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ, Lamarckianism and Lysenkoism are still things? Fuck.

But she's right.
ReplyDeleteThat thing that will never happen is THE COOLEST PART of those ears.
HA!
DeleteJust like how all my children were born with their left ear already pierced. Genetics are neat.

Deleteoops, sorry, "predilection"
DeleteAt least the ACNE is 100% guaranteed.

ReplyDeleteAnyone else thinking about that episode of South Park with the dolphinoplasty?
ReplyDeleteIs this the famous Reverend Jen of the Lower East Side? http://www.flickr.com/photos/jimkiernan/6740299871/
ReplyDeletei refuse to believe this one is true. for the sake of my own sanity.
ReplyDeleteGood luck getting a job looking like that, princess Zelda...
ReplyDeleteYes and you should trim your nails really short when you're pregnant so the baby doesn't scratch you.
