Senior Member Spanker Posted January 12, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Ok, doing a little internet surfing and I come accross this artical linked from Fox News front page: Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: Hollywood Stars Going Bald - FoxNews.com (Maybe someone can also tell me how to post a link to a word...like HERE is the article and click the word HERE and it work...thanks) Anyway, the tone of the captions of the picks just piss me off. Today, it seems that it is taboo for a someone to see an overweight person: "Hey fatty." But something like "Hey baldy" is perfectly acceptable today. Also look at the line above the pics....it says, "Sure, actors can get nips and tucks to fix their bodies, but when it comes to going bald, there's really not much they can do." Shouldn't you have to know a little something about what you are writing about? Grrrr.

Senior Member Sparky Posted January 12, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 12, 2011 The Media sucks, and they don't know anything about HT's, they still think it's plugs.

Senior Member kathie47 Posted January 12, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 12, 2011 That's just an embarrassing slideshow for them...and it doesn't look like you can leave feedback for the author either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Tonycc Posted January 12, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 12, 2011 funny article. Chances are when people get serious about receiving a ht they will find this site and become informed about the actual procedure and how the media skews this.

Senior Member mattj Posted January 12, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 12, 2011 Spanker, the code you're looking for is this: {url=http://www.exampleurl.com}Link word.{/url} With the curly brackets replaced with square ones. I don't think "hey baldy" is any more acceptable than "hey fatty". Both are seen as insulting but neither are exactly taboo or conflicting with political correctness doctrine. It's not uncommon to see idiotic trash articles like this one from Fox featuring stars who have piled on the pounds. Weird that they have Gavin Rossdale in the slideshow. His hair looks great in the 'after' photo and unchanged from the 'before'. It's obvious that someone clueless and not very observant compiled it. I am a patient and representative of Dr Rahal.

Senior Member Sparky Posted January 12, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 12, 2011 Gavin Rossdale's hair looks the same in the after pic, he just has it tied back, that's the only difference.

Senior Member Spanker Posted January 13, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 13, 2011 Thanks Matt. I prolly took linked two thoughts together....yes the media will point out someone gaining some weight. On a social level....I could imagine a friend razzing me about blading but friends razzing friends about being fat is far less common. I think on a personal level people are much more sensitive to overweight people`s feelings then bald....that is just my personal experience.
