For those who followed the Norks Thread of Doom

By on • ( 3 )

Those who followed the Norks Thread of Doom on LP might appreciate this amazing poem by Karen Healey.

Karen was asked this by some creep who reads her blog:

I am apologizing to you in advance if you find the following statement to be offensive,or sexist Ms. Healey – I would like to know more about your 34DD breasts.

The result was this poem. It is powerful, and beautiful. Check it out.

    I can’t comment there, but Karen, if you’re reading this, you are pretty damn brilliant. Good on you.

    I just read that thread today and it was an odd experience (not least which, I seem to be the only lady on LP who can spin in a circle and not generate a personal magnetic field from the centripetal forces).
    The unwillingness to concede an inch (as well as that “lose 10kg” remark from mere video footage – I’ve heard too much this year about weight loss being the magic solution to everything (I can tell you it doesn’t work for eating disorders)) flabbergasted me.
    I was trying to type more, but I’m still flabbergasted.
