Wait, I thought the media was trying to convince women
they need BIGGER breasts. I see these clothing ads where the women have what appear to be unnaturally large breasts (vs over all body size), yet when I buy a bra that is in a line of bras for large chests, specifically marketed toward them, the woman on the packaging has like, a b cup. What gives?
I mean, b-cups are fine, but it doesn't really inspire confidence in a bra that's supposed to be designed for large, heavy chests.

3. For the same reason
that even the Lane Bryant catalog uses relatively thin models to sell its clothes to the plus-sized women who are its demographic. God forbid there should be anything like realism in advertising. :P

9. But you'd THINK
they'd WANT us to see those big breasts.


Funny thing, some bra companies use models whos breasts are larger than their largest cupsize :wtf:

5. because breasts are obscene
so big breasts are great if they are going to be covered (they'ed have to be big to be noticed through all the clothes), but if they are visible (like in nudes or underwear) they are pornographic, and only media of ill repute would show them

21. It's an American thing
sort of like how *all* of America was scandalized by Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction", while the rest of the world yawned.

6. Women are just supposed to be unhappy with themselves
Keep the clothing manufacturers and plastic surgeons in business.

7. Why can't women have plenty of breasts on them?
You know like when my dog has puppies. She had about 12 of various sizes. Even the puppies were of various sizes. But I didn't see if they each had a favorite hooter.

12. Just imagine how it is when I buy underwear!
There are no boxers, briefs, or boxer-briefs extant which can contain my scrotal mass.

BALLS!
