Culture: Misguided outfit of the day: Katy Perry wearing faux-cleavage for Elmo

  • Katy Perry has cleavage. No getting around that, unless you’re the Children’s Television Workshop and you decide you can’t show that kind of thing to preschoolers. So, whaddya do? You have the pop starlet wear a top that looks exactly like skin, getting around the cleavage problem in the most inefficient way possible and making people think that, yes, she’s falling out of her top. How hilarious is it that Perry’s apparently trying to soften her sultry image for kids? And failing? (On a side note, Perry barely snatched the “Misguided outfit of the day” award from Jennifer Lopez.) source

U.S.: The government was just joshin’ you guys on mammograms

  • Our policies remain unchanged. Indeed, I would be very surprised if any private insurance company changed its mammography coverage decisions as a result of this action.
  • Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius • Trying to re-spin a report earlier this week that said women should be less vigilant about checking their boobs for breast cancer. In other words, a report came out that angered a lot of people, and they’re backtracking completely. This is amid speculation that the changes were put in place to help insurance companies. • source

Culture: Here’s what no more self-breast-exams is gonna cost us

  • Back in 1990, this was groundbreaking television. “Beverly Hills, 90210” tackled Brenda Walsh’s teen breast cancer scare – a tumor she found, by the way, after examining her own breast. Beyond adding to the obvious dangers of breast cancer – there’s a whole MONTH dedicated to it, for crying out loud – no more breast self-examinations means that the possibility of this scene happening in real life just went down significantly. Did the U.S. think of all the lives that could be saved, or even the amount of cheesy TV melodrama that could be created? Of course not. This is why experts are questioning the changes. source

Offbeat: A bra retailer says they “boobed” on cup-size-based pricing

  • It’s true that our fantastic quality larger bras cost more money to make, and we felt it was right to reflect this in the prices we charged. Well, we were wrong.
  • British retailer Marks & Spencer • In an ad that ran in U.K. newspapers on Friday. The retailer was the subject of an online campaign to get them to change their variable pricing ways. Now only if we can convince Apple to heed the advice of this when it comes to online music. • source
