Your "Stretched Lobes" paragraph is unbelievable
December 29, 2011 | 09:23 AM

As someone that's been actively stretching their ear lobes since the 90's (in addition to other forms of body modification), this is exactly the sort of misinformation that I've seen come from multiple media outlets over the past two decades.

I could spend the time correcting and disproving the multiple assertions one-by-one, but assume that people likely don't care.

At the end of the day, this depiction portrayed in "Stretched Lobes!" is myopic, outdated and simply wrong on multiple levels. At best, it's a fluff piece that nobody will take seriously. At worst, you're actually encouraging young people to use dangerous practices ("sometimes with a hole-punch tool") that can do serious harm to themselves.

I would much rather see you use your voice for education over sensationalizing half-truths, rumors and lies.
