Janeane Garofalo Speaks Out Against Brazilian Waxing
She's wrong on this one.



Janeane Garofalo takes on Brazilian waxing in her new standup special "If You Will," and she explains her anti-pubic grooming stance in a new interview with Uinterview.com.

"It couldn't possibly be true that there are a lot of guys who find adult females with genitals that look pre-adolescent that attractive," she said. "If they do, that's a problem."

3. I don't think it's about desiring the appearance she mentions
At least as far as I know.

7. Oprah's Dr. Oz says that Brazilians are harmful
Without getting the thread locked, he says that the pheromones given off by hair in the region are compelling to members of the opposite sex.

I found his comments truly interesting.

10. I would think, were I to be in a position to know someone had a Brazilian wax....
I would be WAY past the initial attraction phase!

8. Speaking as someone who has had a Brazilian wax
I still looked like an adult.

Plus, I was the one who wanted it done, not my husband. It isn't about appearance.

I think that's all I'm allowed to say.

13. Furry, smooth, or somewhere in between. I think this is sort of like
getting into an argument about the relative merits of wrapping paper, a bow but no paper, or completely unwrapped, for a nice gift. They're all nice, in their own way, but in the end it is the gift and the underlying thought that really counts.

:dilemma:

14. Ever noticed .......
We don't want hair where we have it

and

we want it where we don't have it?

I think someone is making money off this b.s. -- like maybe the makers of Rogaine and the razor manufacturers. (we won't even get into plastic surgery).

It really is bizarre when you think about it.

16. How would she know? Perhaps she should do a proper experiment and...
and show before and after videos in 3-D and have a vote.

22. I believe there may be a seven year old 14,000 response thread on this very subject
in one of the woman's forums.

From what I gather there seems to be some disagreement.

24. Janeane Garafalo is giving the Bush his daily waxing...
She concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were waxed."

"OH NO!" Bush exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"
