Somedays It's Just Too Easy

It’s crap like this why we created ImRubberYourGlue. There are woman who are spending their hard-earned money on “fish pedicures.” Just so, you are not confused, they are not getting pedicures for their goldfish, rather they are sticking their feet in a bowl with fish in it and these fish supposedly eat the dead skin. Amazingly, this story does not come from Los Angeles or Florida, but from the D.C. suburbs in Virginia. Lobbyists wives are paying up to $50 for the treatment. You really don’t need to follow the link and read the story. Trust me; I didn’t make this crap up. I have pretty vivid imagination but I doubt I could have found the right mix of chemicals to put in my body to dream up this one.

The story goes on to say that after they are done with having fish chomp on their feet, the women then go on to have a traditional pedicure. WTF? So what is the point of the fish you ask? Well, according to the genius (I am not being sarcastic. This is genius) that came up with this scheme, it makes the pedi easier by making the skin softer. Logic tells me it has more to do with soaking your feet in water for ½ hour than the fish, but you couldn’t charge for that. The genius also says that the other reason for the fish is that it is more sanitary than traditional tools like scrapers. I call BS on this as well. Where do you think all of the dead skin these fish eat all day goes? Right back into the very same water these women are sticking their feet in!

While this is just another step leading to the collapse of our society, it’s not something to get worked up over. I kind of look at this like George Carlin looked at women with anorexia – “Somehow I can’t feel sorry for anorexics. Some rich broad doesn’t want to eat? Fuck her. Don’t eat. I don’t give a shit.”
