Now That's Commitment!

Ok, I read this article a while back and it stuck with me. Louis Theroux is a documentary film maker/newsman character in the UK known for unusual subject matter and commitment to documentary/news stories. He's a bit like a classy UK Michael Moore. For his most recent story he was focused on Plastic Surgery...and he even got some done in the name of his story. Either that's commitment or insanity. He committed partially out of vanity, but also out of curiosity...that's an odd mixture for elective surgery, but I guess no worse than the reasoning of contestants on Extreme Makeover. It's weird thought: Surgically altering yourself. Is the root of those decisions self hatred/self-disgust? Do you stay yourself when you make some very integral physical changes like boobs, new nose or other choices? Are you lazy if you get liposuction? Who knew one English guy's gut reduction could lead to so many questions.
