Porn star tells U.S. military "bullets, not boobs"

By Jeff Franks



LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A group supporting natural breasts has staged a street protest in Hollywood against a U.S. military policy offering free breast implants to female soldiers.

The group, led by porn star and former California gubernatorial candidate Mary Carey, said the military should spend its money on "bullets, not boobs."

"I think girls should have natural boobs and natural beauty," Carey said after unveiling her own breasts in the protest at an Army recruiting office on Sunset Boulevard.

"Women should be happy with their bodies and what they're blessed with," the 24-year-old star of 37 porn films said.

Her words and deeds drew cheers from a small group of men who had gathered to watch the event on Wednesday. Passing cars sounded their horns in response to a sign that read "Honk if you love natural breasts."

Carey, who wore green camouflage shorts and bikini top, assured all that her own breasts were real.

The protest was organised by porn impresario Mark Kulkis, president of Kick Ass Pictures, the company for whom Carey stars.

It follows recent news stories about the military offering free plastic surgery, including breast enhancements, to soldiers and their families so military doctors can practice their skills.

Kulkis said he opposed military breast implants because they are an unwise expenditure of tax money and because he does not like fake breasts.

"We support our military 100 percent. Part of the reason we're protesting is that we think these tax dollars would be much better spent on essentials (for soldiers)," Kulkis said.

"I'm personally opposed to boob jobs, but more so when they use our tax dollars for them," he said. "It's an issue near and dear to my heart."

Kulkis' porno films come with a promise that none of his female stars have breast implants

He and Carey presented a $500 (274 pound) cheque to Jennifer Zandstra of Commerce, Texas, who was honourably discharged from the U.S. Army two weeks ago and answered a Kick Ass announcement seeking military women opposed to breast implants.

"Thank you for coming up here and thank you most of all for keeping your real breasts," Kulkis told Zandstra.

Carey invited her to star in her next film, "Mary Carey Rules: No. 6," but Zandstra, now a college student, politely said, "No, thank you."

A military spokesman for the recruiting office where the protest took place said he had no comment.

There is NO compelling reason whatsoever that US taxpayer dollars should go to boob implants... the only time I would consider an exception would be to a GI woman who got one or two blown off in combat....or if she lost one to cancer.

There are more than boobs involved here. There's another thread about this and several points were made in it:

1) The soldiers would be required to pay the costs involved, except for the doctor and medical team since they already are being paid for.

2) The doctors would get valuable experience that would apply to reconstructive surgery for wounded soldiers. This would be a very good idea.

I'd add something else though to protect the taxpayers. No one getting this surgery would later be able to get any disability. They would have to know this going in.

Wouldn't these military doctors benefit more from performing cosmetic surgery on burn victums or tissue damage resulting from car accidents? Why not offer these services to people in the community rather than elective surgery?

Liability/Malpractice insurance perhaps?

There's never anything more than boobs. Boobs make the world go 'round.



And now back to our regularly scheduled thread, lol.

It sure would help everyone out and give some valuable experience. I'm not advocating this cosmetic surgery per se, especially boob jobs. Read about it for the first time in here, don't have problems with it if it will eventually help the soldiers who need it most. Also wouldn't want taxpayers liable for products defects (remember the silicone implants?) and would hate to see disability payments for complications from elective cosmetic surgery done on soldiers who weren't wounded or hurt on the job.

As for performing it on civilians, I wonder if it would be considered competing with the private sector?
