I’m watching this show called “Taboo” on the NatGeo channel and they’re discussing extreme body modification. Well whoever created this episode was attempting to “normalize” body modification done by the Kayan women who wear neck rings by giving other examples from around the world. They showed African tribes who practice scarification, Balinese and their teeth filing, then something else I forgot… THEN they showed Americans getting BRACES.
Really Braces? First of all that is not permanent and I would merely consider that extreme. Wouldn’t you think plastic surgery when you think of America? At least that’s REAL body modification.
And I mean there are other extreme body modification out there. Did they forget about Mursi women and their lip plates?
I’m still in disbelief that they used braces. SMH. Nonetheless I think this is my new favorite show!
