Title: Who is watching National Geographic's new series "Taboo"?
Post by: BEG on January 20, 2010, 11:31:28 PM
I'm watching the episode on "Fat".  I am recording the series.  Apparently the culture in Mauritania fat is beautiful. 1/3rd of the women are overweight and another 1/3rd are obese.  At the age of 8 they start fattening their daughters through gavage (force-feeding) so that they will be attractive to men when they grow up and will marry.

I have watched several other episodes, I highly recommend it.

I saw parts of the one on drugs and the one on freegans/lepers.  They are on On Demand so I will watch the rest while the kids are in school.  They are very interesting

I've caught only a trailer, the fat thing being part of it.

the real eye-opener was the guy whose girlfriend was a blow-up doll. He talked to her, he sat down with her at table, and, uh, there seems to be no doubt that he, uh, had "relations" with her.

Well, it was a little disconcerting to see the guy actually plant a lip-lock on it. We fortunately weren't subjected to the camera going into the bedroom along with his inflation device and KY jelly - assuming, of course, that he needs a little extra "lubrication".

There are plennnnnnty of wackos out there, that's for sure.

Now that I think about it, this thread might be going straight into the Short Bus.  :rotf:

That wasn't a blow up doll.
That was a "real doll", and "she" cost that moonbat around $6000. 

I saw them on the HBO series "Real Sex", and on that show, they didn't cut the shots.

Well, I guess it's cheaper to feed a doll - blow up or not - versus getting married to a real live gal.

She stays grateful as well, never has a period, and never complains. The only thing that's missing is a flat head and a liquor store!

I saw them on RS also.

Kind of creepy how realistic they were.

On the other hand.....if one got tired of their "doll".....much cheaper to replace with a new one than to dump a real wife.... :uhsure:

I suppose the photographer wanted her in an "action" pose.

That pic is from the manufacturers website.

BBC America had a documentary about that a few years ago called Love Me, Love My Doll. 

Me and my girlfriend caught the promo for the Taboo with dolls and I pointed out to her the use of the phrase "organic woman" as if the doll was actually a woman of sorts, just not an "organic" one.

I'm recording the series as well.  Just watched the one on spirit possession; chewing glass, snake handling, speaking in tongues.

Bet the snake handlers and speaking in tongues was filmed somewhere around where I live.

Up in the counties to the NW of me...it's frequently done even though the snake handling has been outlawed.
The authorities usually catch the snake handlers.... when they end up dead.  ::)

I think it may have been GA, but not sure. 

I was banking on it being in the Appalachians of KY where my people hail from.  There's so many of those isolated hollers with tiny churches and folk are so hush-mouthed that nobody would hear about it unless there was a death.

It's been a few years....but there was a one of those little churches up in the hills north of me. The pastor's wife was a snake-handler and ended up dead. They had several children. Apparently losing his wife, didn't wave any flags of danger for the pastor....he was killed a year or so later.....handling snakes at a chuch service. The kids were still fairly young.

HELP--- what was the movie about men that built the perfect wife.     Some how his wife was taken away and he had to go through all kinds of trials to get her back.

Some where he met a  really human woman, a scatter brained human female that  was to confuse him, a woman with free will.

Lots of fun here, the human woman drove him nuts, unpredictable.  He after all the work he did found his wife.  She was the work and idea of his fantasy's

He rescured her, but found that the crazy woman he was with was worth jettisoned her over board from a plane.     Actually I think he was ok with both of them.

Taboo today is eating pork, touching a dog or snake.   Taboo is killing a family member or having sex with your sister.   

What else is taboo that he Liberals have not made normal life style.  Soon everything goes------If it is a human reaction, no problem.    Nothing will be said about the victims, they just were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Darn Ladys, one never  leaves                                                                                                         their home in a time of                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  fear for their childrens health                                                                     to get medicine for a sick child without taking time to to first put their paintie hoes on.
