Re: The Baywatch factor, September 1st. Having noted your recent social attentions to and metaphorical uses of everything-penis, it is not too surprising to see editors allocating space to the comeback of the breast implant. Are we being offered a correlatory desire to see growth of body parts and the economy? Is surgery the only answer for today’s “zeitgeist” of insecure and unloved political parties, currencies and analysts?
Despite the shoulderpadded loans of the eighties and the Baywatch and the WWF bulges of the nineties, some readers are still fondly attached to the small breasts and penises that helped many survive the recessionary seventies. Therefore any editorial plans to contextualize the coming global economic downturn with a before-and-after report on penis implants and testicle enlargements should be sorely resisted.
