FOUL E-MAIL BLAST OF THE WEEK

We receive some real winners, but this week’s—which cheerfully touted “the growing trend in

teenagers requesting facial plastic surgery, from botox, chin implants, nose jobs and even liposuction, ALL FOR THE PURPOSE OF RAISING THEIR SELF-ESTEEM”--kind of takes the total-grossness cake. It also noted that the number of cosmetic surgical procedures performed on youths 18 or younger more than tripled over a 10-year period, to 205,119 in 2008 from 59,890 in 1998.
