DD+ BUSTS 4 JUSTICE INTERNET GROUP DEMANDS BRASSIERE EQUALITY!

From time to time, we just have to report on Political Correctness gone seriously awry, even if it is about brassieres sized DD or larger....

Outraged shopper Beckie Williams organized this group to bring [big] pressure on big British retailer Marks & Spencer to eliminate a $4.00 surcharge on bras sized DD or larger, following complaints from large breasted women. This from UPI in London.

This fine group of ladies asserts that the extra charge amounts to discrimination against curvy women. And, yes! They are outraged and demand simple justice!

Marks & Spencer assert that it takes extra [DD] effort and materials to make a DD bra.

A couple thoughts ...

Ladies of "Busts 4 Justice": give thought to applying your assets to a more altruistic cause.

For the rest of us, this is a stark reminder of an old adage: "One [woman's] garbage is another [woman's] treasure."

P.C. gone awry, big time. Sorry...

    Rev. Jackson speaks to hear himself speak. He is not the concerned man of the people he pretend. Give him a mike and a camera and he will change the world til the next photo opp. If he doesn't want Obama....who, I am afraid to think!

    Well I hate to say it, being a DD cup myself and all, but I agree with GMc. It comes down to if you need more you should be paying for more. While no, it's not necessarily your fault if you have watermelons instead of oranges,we still expect taller and heavier people to pay extra for their special sizes. Why should bras be any different?

    From a man's perspective, the more you buy, the more you pay. As to the subject of this post, ladies, if I were you, I would like to be paying at least $8 more.

    You yanks are not alone in the battle of the ridiculous. I would like to join that group just so that I can tell people who don't know me that I am a member. I fear they would not want me amongst them. Maybe I can puff up my chest long enough.

    Well my first thought is you go girls, (why should they be penalized), but this comes from someone who is not that well endowed. Then my intelligence kicks in and I say they have too much time on their hands and very simple minds. Effort is better spent on helping to feed the hungry, helping abused kids, helping the underprivileged, making schools safer,need I go on.
