OH MY GOD
01.21.09I hope you’ll excuse my non-film-related tangent while I bring you a breaking update on JESUS CHRIST ON A CHRYSLER! So the internets tell me this is Mandy Sellars, who suffers from a medical condition known as GIANT F-CKING LEGS.
“And people can be very cruel. I was in a park a few months ago when a group of teens started pointing at me, they were saying to each other, ‘Look at the size of her legs.’ I wish they could experience how it feels to have strangers laugh at you. I don’t mind curiosity – it’s the laughing and nudging that gets to me. ”
She has never had a firm diagnosis, but it could be linked to Proteus syndrome, which causes abnormal skin and limb growth. John Merrick, the Elephant Man, is believed to have had it. [Mirror]
Wow, this really makes my dangly scrotum problem seem trivial by comparison. I wish her nothing but the best, and I don’t see any reason she can’t lead a reasonably happy, productive life. I mean, look at JLo.
