Obviously YOU!, for even clicking the thread, NO? If you didn't you would have just bypassed it no? lol

"PAY ATTENTION! I wonder if that person knows that when we push the FUNNY button, its because we are reading something outrageous, trying to be cynical, derogatory, sarcastic and/or obnoxious!"

Monita Linda, are you suggesting that you are affected on no emotional level by the concept of people feeling so insecure about their natural faces that they are paying someone 5,000 euros to cut it up with a knife?

That strikes me as odd, with you being a European living in Colombia who feels the need to tell everyone she's pretty.

This is strange. What I find attractive about latinos is their look (among other things), I never would want my negrita to change anything about her looks.

Not only are they having a tough time being foreigners in another country but they're stupid as well. What about their accent? Are there surgeries for that? Noooo!

It's like those Asian people who get eyelid surgery to look more Western. Dude, you still look chinese, get over it.

I don't understand. According to the story, noses are the most popular surgery among these people and assuming they're of mixed heritage - it's probably a big honkin' Spanish nose they're trying to change. They ALREADY look Spanish/European.

Now, if I had a Nestor Kirchner (former President of Argentina) Spanish nose, I'd want it changed so I could fit through doorways, but I doubt all the people that went under the knife had it that bad.

I wanted access to health care, housing and education, but, no, I get potholes, trash and silicone tits instead. -Desi.

I have a cousin who not only had a huge underbite, she also has a big ass nose. Wide and long, she got it from my grandma's side. So she had surgery to get her jaw shortened to fix the underbite and a year later got her nose "fixed". I saw recent pictures of her and she looks just as ugly as she did last time I saw her. That nose is still wider than the San Francisco bridge!

Why would u want to look more European with all due respect. I mean, I am Colombian and like most Colombian I am of mixed characteristics and that is what makes Colombianos,,especially Colombianas hahah look so good.

I'm not changing any of my features to look like anyone, we are who we are. ;-)
