That's why they call it a ''moneymaker''
Hah.
Yes, there's more. Feel free to go read it.
But blogging it is going to make me even pricklier than usual.

Antonia Zerbisias has been a Star columnist since 1989 but has been telling people what she thinks ever since she could open her mouth. Her career ambition as an opinionator dates back to Grade 9 when a cartoon commentary on a teacher resulted in her suspension from high school. The principal sent her home with a note calling her "rude, obstreperous and bold." Her parents were neither amused, nor surprised. Once she was punished for being that way. Now she makes it pay. And, because she can take it as well as dish it out, she wants to hear what you have to say. Fire away!
There must be a market for getting your dick fixed?

How on earth does one comment on this - except Anonymously. I'm trying my best not to be scandalous or suggestive, but I too have always been baffled by feminine deodorant sprays and the like. In a nutshell (and speaking as a guy) I kind of assume that anyone who will get close enough to smell anything probably will not be offended.
What's worse - that some guy invented all of these products, or that they still sell?

I haven't got one, so I suppose this is a bit impertinent, but ... are they really supposed to be looked at in the first place?
these "monologues" really did a lot of damage ......

Women get their vaginas enhanced for men.
Men get their bleepers enhanced for ... men! Themselves!
Male obsession with sex and violence rules the world.

One of Bette Midler's lines and I think it's from Clams on the Half-Shell, after she came out to thunderous applause - "We shared no expense for you tonight; we showered, we shaved, we FDS'ed ourselves into a stupor! I don't even think I knew what it was at the time!

No, Mary Sunshine, men get their penises (come on - I know you can say it. Be a big girl.) enhanced for the same reason women get their vaginas enhanced. Low self-esteem, insecurity, no confidence. There are also those who do it for the same reason as any other cosmetic surgery: vanity, vacuousness - these traits aren't unique to males or females.

Those within smelling range have likely been invited to linger a while. If the taste of the spray is unpalateable, then this presents its own problem.
@ Mary: You say if women get their hoo-haws "enhanced" and buy FDS by the truckload, it is because of male "obsession" for sex and violence. Okay, so when men get their hoo-haws "enhanced" it must be for...oh wait a minute...you said that's also because of men's violence and sex "obsession".
I know it is challenging, but can you imagine - even just for rhetorical purposes - a scenario that might not present the tyranny of psychopathic, sex-addicted men as the answer? I mean, could you conceive of a scenario where a woman might buy into this stuff out of perceived need, vanity, or personal whim? It's a thought experiment, I know - because it presents the absurd notion of a woman making decisions (and possibly unwise ones, at that) as a result of her own volition and accountability.
Would you also clarify how the desire for vaginoplasty and spray is evidence of men's *violence*?
