"Gay men in Britain are fueling a surge in demand for plastic surgery, with a quarter admitting to having gone under the knife already. Despite the current economic crisis, the cosmetic surgery industry in Britain is booming, and a rise in demand for procedures such as nose jobs, liposuction and male breast reductions has been attributed to a surge in male requests. A new survey of 1,000 men, conducted by Gay Times, found that 22% of gay men had resorted to plastic surgery, while 69% claimed that they would like to." Someone forward this to designer Thierry Mugler, whose augmented face you see to the left! [Marie Claire UK]

China Doesn't Want To See Sex Changes

No, Not Even On Cable

Looking to film and broadcast your sex change operation? Well, don't pitch your project in China. Although the nation's government's opening the table for safer sex discussion, their not so keen on discussing - or televising - gender "deviance". The communist government recently issued an edict banning networks from showing plastic surgery and sex changes. The state's Administration of Radio, Film and Television released the following statement:

All levels of television broadcasters must not plan or produce sex change or plastic surgery programs involving public participation (including news, specials or interviews), effective immediately.

Not even an interview? Forget their massive pollution problem, this shit's a real crisis!
