The two posters that struck me was the plastic surgery and the performance enhancing drugs.
One of the concepts I got from the performance enhancing drugs is where can the line be drawn for using drugs to make a living vs. cheating? I honestly believe if it is a safety issue or a legal drug, then it should be fine to use. But when people, like fans, are paying for a sport that should be deemed "clean," then 'roids, meth, etc. should not be used. I think it's okay for truck drivers to use things to keep them awake so they don't run my car over while they're passing out.
A concept I got from plastic surgery is that it can become an addiction like a drug. More of an addiction to achieve "perfection" vs. feeling that high that you can never get after the first use.
The one link I see between the two is money. Models, actresses/actors, and adult film stars use plastic surgery to help make more money, like some athletes use steroids to pad their stats and get that fat contract and achieve perfection. It is weird to know that society wants to know who has what kind of plastic surgery done and be perfectly fine paying to watch their movies or buy the magazine that they're on the cover on. On the other hand, in the sports world, any illegal drug that an athlete uses to gain an advantage is something most of society would not want to pay for.
Bottom line - both subjects involve two different industries putting something forgein in their body to achieve "perfection" and/or make more money.
