Maybe you've seen a documentary on TV where a teen wears a fake baby bump to show and experience what it's like to be a pregnant teen, or even a movie where an actress simply needed to look like she's got one in the oven. Fake pregnancy belly suits are nothing new. But this is the first time we've heard of the items becoming noticeably popular.
According to The Washington Post, fake pregnant bellies, which are made out of skin-like silica gel and run for $80 to $250, are selling like hotcakes online. Well, we're actually not too sure how well hotcakes sell online, but you get the point. The product comes in a number of sizes and stages of pregnancy, and has been used in a number of ways, from fashion to fun. One seller told People's Daily, "Most of the costumers have bought the bellies for acting performances or as a joke, though others wanted to experience the life of a pregnant woman." What do you have to say about this kooky baby bump trend?

+18Sad. To be honest. China denies people the right to reproduce, and they're physically dissatisfied with their appearance so they alter it to look like they are reproducing. Meanwhile they walk past a dying little girl hit by a truck, ignore the little babies dropped in the dump, and try to ignore impending disaster by too many girls 'disappearing' and boys surviving. China's messed up.
This will encourage the younger population to have babies...
And with everyone wearing one of these nobdy will know who's pregant or not!
What a clever ploy... And of course the new families will be able to move into america as China has been buying american land by the square mile for the last few years, using american money as they own the federal reserve...
and the story unfolds.....
Half the world is Asian now. It would be okay if half the world was Chinese, just so long, as Chinese merely means where the people originally came from, and doesn't mean that China will "own" us. Somebody who looks Chinese, can be just as American as any normal American, or whatever country they may have moved to?
And why do you think that only China "extends its tentacles?" Human population does that in general. We spread "tentacles" of population spread, then the tentacles soon thicken, and population takes hold and grows in more places than ever.
Don't the Muslims have more of a philosophy of "taking over" and invading, changing the countries they are into? Chinese people seem to ADAPT better, and seek to prosper, better than the Americans already here? Or maybe I was talking of Asian immigrants in general?
I am for the natural globalism, of countries naturally populating themselves into each other. (migration, some intermarriage between people of different countries) What I oppose, is what's usually called globalism, the concentration of political power into the hands of the unaccountable few, the NWO criminal elitist power graps and their evil depopulation an...

Nationalism is said to be outdated, an evil thing. But it isn't, if it isn't excessive. It's a check against the evil globalists taking over, that nations (and local communities) need to preserve their sovereignty. But it obviously leads to sin, if people think only their country (or village) matters, and that foreigners don't matter.
BTW, isn't the head of your octopus Asian monster, over Japan? Hmm. Guess there's just not enough ready illustrations when you need one?
So what was your point to reply to me then? Oh, so you could troll, since you admit you had nothing to say?
I mean you could have commented on the meaning of your picture or something? Wasted opportunity.
it has no hidden meaning..
you people really like your 'symbols & signs' don't you?
Because there is no option that says "Neither" I will vote "Wonderful"; cultural trends are just that - they only reflect the culture.
