Is it a cure for sharp knees?

The show must go on, kid, now get out there and break a leg. No, make that TWO legs!

But you should see the politician she wants to take the place of.

So in addition to giving up nine months of her life to gain three inches, she's also a bottle blond? Makes it slightly harder to believe her when she says she's not "obsessed with image"...

Of all the articles that could have earned a proper use of the ironic tag...

For shame, submitter.

I love a good Gattaca reference. +1 to you.

First thing I thought of. Nice job.

Shouldn't the rest of her appearance (how she dresses, speaks, carries herself, etc.) have gotten the "I insist on being treated as a grown-up" job done?

// not the only reason I earn respect

Was that wrong? Should I have not done that?

Weird. Weren't certain Australians experimenting with this back in WWII?

 
Jewronimo 2009-04-30 09:07:51 AM  
I'd hit it with a hammer on the legs.

From a Facebook fan page (new window):

She is also a good conservative who believes in free enterprise.


Why are all the crazy ones conservatives?

Looks like she changed to almost-natural-brown.

What I'm trying to suggest, without actually saying, is something like this.

Yep, we definitely want somebody that insecure in charge of the big political decisions.

 
maniacbastard [TotalFark] 2009-04-30 09:22:13 AM  
Thought that she must be a conservative and blammo, I was right.

 
citizen905 2009-04-30 09:49:04 AM  
Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, Katherine Harris... I am noticing a trend here.

Conservative = crazy + stupid + pussy. And the occasional once-upon-a-time sort of hot chick with daddy issues.

i went thru the 2 minutes to make this for the poofed ancient kerry link, so i'm gonna pretend it has something to do with broken legs. and politicians.

If EVER there was a need for the irony tag, this is it.

I heard she was switching parties to the Australian Francophonic Les Assassins des Fauteuils Rollents.

/obscure?

FTFA: Surgeons broke both her legs in four places and stretched them slowly for 1mm every day over nine months. In the end, she had grown from 154cm (just under 5ft 1in) to 162cm.

WAT? 1 mm/day for 9 months means about 27cm (10.5") of length added, not 8 cm.

/journalist was told there would be no math

Hajnal Ban, post op.

/hawt!
//she got a boob job too.

Due to her name and looks I had to check repeatedly to make sure this wasn't an Austrian/Australian joke.

Sm3agol85 2009-04-30 10:13:06 PM
