Vertically handicapped?

Now that's dedication: With increased job anxiety in China's market economy, more Chinese men and women are opting for painful body- lengthening procedures to get taller. A June 2005 report on China Radio International updated the 2002 News of the Weird story, in which ''hundreds'' were enduring the months-long ''Ilizarov procedure'' (forced breaking of bones in the leg, then manually adjusting leg braces four times a day that pull the bones slightly apart, then waiting as they grow back and fuse together). As a 33-year-old, 5-foot-tall woman (aiming for 5-4) said in 2002: ''I'll have a better job, a better boyfriend, and eventually a better husband. It's a long-term investment.''

that's just idiotic. it's like asian women getting plastic surgery to make their eyes look more caucasian. stupid, stupid, stupid shallow people looking to a moronic standard of "beauty."
