    She’s getting a tummy tuck with that flat belly? Even cartoon characters a sense of vanity.

    I’d buy it for my coffee table. Worth a laugh.

    Lisa, please take a class in grammar and then come back to spam us.

    How stupid. I really don’t understand why parents have a hard time talking to their kids anyway that they need a book to do it for them. I don’t care what the topic is.

    What bugs me about it is the all of the “image” stuff the book is selling. Have you ever seen a doctor that looks like that? They’re shown as living in an EXTREMELY affluent neighbourhood. I mean, I know the book was written for a child growing up in this kind of environment, but it just seems to normalize it. Ahhh, it bothers me.

    I think this is sick. My Beautiful Mommy indeed. and sugar coating it like this. I think if you have young kids and you are geting a tummy tuck you should say … not mommy’s gonna get more beautiful. Why is it about mommy getting pretty instead of mommy getting something fixed. You don’t have to scare your kid but you don’t have to totally sugar coat it either. I think this book is a bad idea. Talking with your kids is good but… I think the book is pretty awful. I also noticed the neighborhood and the car and the whole thing -it just doesn’t sit well with me

    So kids are gonna start growing up now thinking its totally normal to have plastic surgery. Little girls are gonna look at their noses probably HOPING they have a bump like mommy’s so they can have the operation to. I think people with young kids maybe have more to think about before they decide to go through with this kind of surgery.

    Funny write-up, Jaybird, but what a pile of unadulterated crap. This is a book for idiot parents, not kids, and an opportunity for this doctor to make even more money out of these idiot parents’ stupidity. As the old saying goes, a fool and his money are soon parted.

  7. headache says:

    And what kind of an idiot would take their kid to the plastic surgeon’s office anyway? ick!

  8. geronimo says:

    A really stupid one.

    hah. i think this must have been therapeutic for the little doctor who wrote the book. i love the way he portrays the doctor, like a big G.I joe model. this is what the doc looks like http://www.niptalkradio.com/images/thumb_dr2.jpg
    he has his own show on ‘nip/talk radio’ so he clearly enjoys hearing himself talk about what he does-hes definitely got the goal of becoming a famous talking head about how he ‘fixes’ broke-down ugly women. what an egomaniac.

    He can’t be anyh worse than Dr Rey on Dr 90210. The way he talks and the way he treats his wife makes me ill.

    Its really sad, because plastic surgery most of the time does not make someone look “beautiful” or any better than before. Often it makes them look freakish (see Priscilla Presley).

    What’s even sadder is these women who get plastic surgery think they are more beautiful or desirable than other women. They get big egos.

    I’ve never had any plastic surgery, I don’t have breast implants and I am married to a wonderful man. I see these women who get their faces all carved up and breasts that look like giant balloons, and they are sitting home alone on Friday night. Go figure.

    What about Mommy’s two black eyes and having to sleep semi sitting up until her incision heals? At least that’s what I remember from my friends and their mothers having work done.
    If you’re going to write a book for kids about this topic at least cover what might be most disturbing to a child, seeing Mom looking and acting like she just got worked over by two of Tony’s guys.
    Maybe they should of asked Madonna for some tips on this?

    Cindy Kennedy. You are on Point.

    If Mommy is wearing a belly bearing top before surgery I really don’t think a tummy tuck is needed…okay granted it’s a cartoon but Mommy is very skinny. And what’s with her massive camel-toe?

  15. Dee says:

    Headache, you mentioned Dr. Rey on 90210 – I’m more worried about his wife’s weight and fragile frame.
    But I do see, he doesn’t pay much attention to the home environment and much less his wife’s needs.
