Pride can be a b----. I broke out loud laughing when I saw the picture.

HOW STUPID IS OUR WORLD??!!

She should have used sunflower oil --- less fat.

Idiot. She looks like Gary Oldman's character from "Hannibal."

Hang Mioku, now 48, had her first plastic surgery procedure when she was 28; hooked from the beginning she moved to Japan where she had further operations - mostly to her face.

Following operation after operation, her face was eventually left enlarged and disfigured, but she would still look at herself in the mirror and think she was beautiful.

Eventually the surgeons she visited refused to carry out any more work on her and one suggested that her obsession could be a sign of a psychological disorder.

When she returned home to Korea the surgery meant Hang's features had changed so much that her own parents didn't recognise her.

After realising that the girl with the grossly swollen face was indeed their daughter her horrified parents took her to a doctor. Once again the possibility that Hang had a mental disorder was raised and she started treatment.

However, this treatment was too expensive for her to keep up and she soon fell back into old ways.

Amazingly, she found a doctor who was willing to give her silicone injects and, what's more, he then gave her a syringe and silicone of her own so she could self-inject.

When her supply of silicone ran out Hang resorted to injecting cooking oil into her face.

Her face became so grotesquely large that she was called "standing fan" by children in her neighbourhood - due to her large face and small body.

As Hang's notoriety spread she was featured on Korean TV. Viewers seeing the report took mercy on her and sent in enough donations to enable her to have surgery to reduce the size of her face.

During the first procedure surgeons removed 60g of foreign substance from Hang's face and 200g from her neck.

After several other sessions her face was left greatly reduced but still scarred and disfigured.

And it would seem that even Hang can now see the damage she has done; she now says that she would simply like her original face back.

Souderton District has failed to provide the local media with information about taxpayers' money.

The district administration refuses to answer simple questions on costs regarding outside PR firm contracting and dollar amounts in funds.

This is no doubt another plan for the district to protect itself from taxpayer backlash during the strike.

It all reminds me of a quote from Mark Twain: "God made the idiot for practice. Then He made the school board."

Hey, He made school district administration too.

so i want to talk quickly about the plague of our community. No, not overdevelopment. Nope, not skewed politics.

I'm talking about idiot drivers. You know the kind. You see them everywhere.

Like at the mall, for instance. I was there recently and drove around the perimeter road and came to the stop sign at the second entrance near Boscov's. Now, coming in off North Wales Road there is no stop sign.
So why did this idiot in a minivan stop and wait for me to go.
I flung my arms about and motioned for her to go ... then I mouthed something unholy at her as she passed.

Do people even look at what they are doing? I'm not about to even start on cell phone drivers ...

I titled this "Cracker Jack Drivers" because I put these people in the same category as New Jersey drivers ... people who must have gotten their driver licenses from a box of Cracker Jacks.

If only the police gave out tickets for stupidity behind the wheel, then our prisons would REALLY be overcrowded.
