This will probably come as no surprise to most women on MFI, but women with larger breasts are more popular on online dating services. According to LatinEuro.com, a long-standing dating site specializing in helping Latinos, larger breasted women attract more attention than even bikini-clad women.

According to Vania Santos, Director of Latineuro.com, “This trend is perhaps going to increase with the explosion and expansion internet dating site and social networks. Here women get to see themselves in pictures and that will just add more self scrutiny as women size themselves up and compare themselves to other women’s dating profiles. Breast implants look great when women wear clothes and provide a very dramatic look to a females figure”.

No folks, this is not an infomercial. The Emergency Bra is real – and it could save your life if faced with nuclear disaster.

Dr. Elena Bodnar won the 2009 Ig Nobel Public Health Prize for the Emergency Bra, an invention that doubles as a stylish bra and face mask. In the event of a disaster, simply unsnap the bra, separate the cups, slip one over your head, and slip one on to your partner.

The bra, which is now available for purchase online, came as a result of Bodnar studying the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. Bodnar found that “if people had had cheap, readily available gas masks in the first hours after the disaster… they may have avoided breathing in Iodine-131, which causes radiation,” reported Fox News.

“You have to be prepared all the time, at any place, at any moment, and practically every woman wears a bra,” she said.

Despite all the seriousness, Bodnar remained light-hearted in the video below of her Ig Nobel prize acceptance speech by removing her bra and demonstrating how the device works on fellow Nobel laureates:

And if you don’t feel like watching the whole speech, I believe the following quote sums up just how genius this invention is:

“Ladies and gentlemen, isn’t that wonderful that women have two breasts, not just one? We can save not only our own life, but also the life of a man of our choice next to us.”

Smart woman, eh?

Sarah Burge, also known as the “Human Barbie,” gave her daughter Poppy an odd Christmas present this year: a cosmetic surgery voucher worth approximately $11,000.

This is not the first time the 51-year-old plastic surgery addict has given her young daughter an inappropriate gift. Last year, Poppy received a voucher for breast augmentation from her mother, redeemable at age 18 if she chooses.

“I put the voucher in her stocking – there’s nothing wrong with that,” Burge said.

“She asks for surgery all the time. She wants to look good and lipo is one of those procedures that will always come in handy. I see these vouchers as investing in her future – like saving money for her education.”

Burge gets angry when strangers say she’s a bad mother, since she believes there is no harm in giving her these types of gifts.

“Poppy is a normal kid who is good at sports and loves playing outside. Girls don’t want Snow White and Cinderella any more,” she’s said.

“They want to be WAGs and famous like Cheryl Cole and Lady Gaga. I’m just supporting her and making her dreams come true. Looks are a big part of how our futures pan out – there shouldn’t be a stigma around wanting to look good.”

I agree that there should not be a stigma around wanting to look good, but discussing plastic surgery at age 7 crosses a bit of a line. What happened to just wanting a pony for Christmas?

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and around MFI
not a person was stirring, not a girl or a guy.
The brassieres were hung by the chimney with care,
in hopes that old Booby Claus soon would be there.

The ladies were nestled all snug in their beds,
while visions of larger boobs danced in their heads.
Three J’s at the ready with keyboard and mouse
were thinking of new ways to fill a girl’s blouse.

Then out on the site there arose such a clatter,
Jason stopped coding to see what was the matter.
Away to the weblogs he flew like a flash.
He cut through the clutter, went straight to the cash.

The girls with their bosoms, which they thought were too small
had just reached their goals, not a few but them all!
then, as he pondered, could this all be a fraud?
he checked on the records and was suddenly awed.

What could have caused him to have such a reaction?
It was there in the records of each banking transaction.
The amounts were quite generous, but they weren’t what gave pause
It was under the donor, which said simply “S. Claus”

As he sat there jaw dropping, not sure what to do,
his messenger dinged saying “there’s new mail for you.”
The message was simple, it said “Wish you the best,
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a nice chest!”

Long-time members with excellent memories might remember this story from the MFI news back in 2006: Phony Doctor Give Free Breast Exams. For those who don’t, local car porter and self-proclaimed “Doctor” Phillip Winikoff, now 81, walked around a Florida apartment block in 2006 carrying a black doctor’s bag and claiming to be from a local hospital, two women took him up on his offer of a free breast examination but realized he wasn’t a doctor when his hands left their breasts for other parts of their bodies. He escaped but was later captured.

On Friday, December 2 he was finally sentenced. He made a plea deal to avoid serving 55 years for practicing medicine without a license and sexual battery. Under his plea agreement, the 81 year old man was sentenced to a year in jail.
