Famous human body parts

I am tired of constantly reading about the anatomy of celebrities so often. Why the big deal if some celebrity actor breaks his hand or foot while doing his stunts? The actor is spoken of as being someone valorous as though if he had pulled off the stunt our world would have been saved from certain doom. Politicians injure themselves and suddenly the media goes into a tizzy about it. Here is my list of the most famous pieces of anatomy that have had more than their deserved share of coverage by the media.

1> Atal Bihari Vajpayee's knee: A 78 year old man has a bad knee and has to have surgery. Mundane right? Wrong. When you are the prime minister of the worlds biggest democracy every problem you have is the problem faced by 1 billion people. At least thats what the Indian media thinks. So for about a month prior to the surgery we were suddenly innundated with information regrading the surgery. The doctor (dr. Ranawat i beleive) became a public figure and something on the lines of the man who would deliver us all from our misery.(actually he would by finishin the surgery and ending all the media madness) The surgery was performed, Vajpayee walked and all of us heaved a collective sigh of relief. I am sure the media had conpired to break the other knee so that they would have a whole lot more to fill up paper with but unfortunately the BJP went and lost the next election thereby putting Vajpayee's knee out of the equation.

2>Sachin Tendulkar's elbow, knee, back etc,etc: The master blaster in the course of a hard and long career has found himself at times nursing injuries that have kept hin out of the Indian cricket team for prolonged periods. When he injured his back the nation sat and analyzed it and every fool in this country who has ever held a bat or even seen Tendulkar carrying his had an opinion to give on how to cure it. More recently the poor chap had tennis elbow and again the same madness where a million opinions were there on how to cure it. He should be playing soon, though how well he can play with an elbow that hurts and with a billion expectations resting on a formerly injured back remains to be seen.

3>Pamela Andersons breasts: What (heterosexual) guy or thirsty baby hasnt looked at that chest and wondered what it would take for the to have their head in between those two huge breasts. Giving a new meaning to 'silicone' valley Pamela redefined sexuality or at least breasts for a long time. Where ever you looked they were there enticing, inviting and intimidating. Every guy's fantasy, every girls reason for frustration (with the males obsession with mammary glands) and every thirsty baby's desire.She did reduce them in size but with the silicone went the fame and she is reduced to writing pornography to try and reclaim the lost fame since the breasts are gone for good.

4>Jennifer Lopez's butt: Big, firm and rounded better than basketballs they came to signify something I am sure, though I am still trying to figure out what. The media went into a spin about her backside and she flashed it every chance she got. In her case it was like being paid to expose your butt to society and moon us all. I was always willing to do the same for free though no offers yet. She still flashes the famous derriere at the cameras and now even has a singing (whining )career. Her singing hasnt eclipsed her butt yet butt it is expected that with time someone else will be the butt of all our fantasies.

5>Beckhams metasarasal(?) bone: Apparently its a bone in your foot that you can fracture. This is what I learnt after the single legged footballer (you mean he can use his left foot??) with a right foot that delivers magical goals fractured it during a league match. Kieron Dyer, the perpetrator of the crime, was villified while Beckham forgave him and rested in a variety of chambers to heal in time for the World Cup. Though the bone supposedly wasnt so bad by the time the world cup started the focus shifted to his hairstyle and soon the tiny bone that gave him an excuse for his failure in the world cup was forgotten.

6> George Bush's Brain (rather the lack of it): The man has been on a roll and has gone on to prove that you dont need a brain to be the most powerful man in the world as long as you have money, money and more money. Wars, feet in mouth and nonsense apart he continues to run the American government and is still "hunting down the axis of terror" a war that seems almost like shadow boxing in a china shop. The only thing in his defence is that the American people voted him to power so all the blame cant exactly be put on him because there is a nation of people that support him no matter what he does.
