and that, yeah.

Mmm.  Boobies.

Yes.  Several reasons spring to mind; firstly, they indicate fertility and the ability to succesfully rear children.  Secondly, they are a good fitness (i.e. attractiveness) indicator; they are a good (and hard to fake in evolving man) sign of youth and thus virility (sag in later life).  This is something that is somewhat counteracted by modern plastic surgery, although on the other hand sexual selection theory would also apply as big shows of expenditure can be of benefit (namely in the sense of "look how fit I am, that I can afford to give/spend this on frivolity!"). 

For reference, expensive 'shows' like this or, for example, the peacocks tail are good for mating because they are expensive 'luxuries', and thus hard to fake (i.e. they are indicative of fitness 'energy', to paraphrase the concept, because they are both expensive and maintained). 

Sexual selection is (again for ref) the other selection involved in evolution/Darwinism; it refers to the excercising of females in choosing their mates and how features that are advantageous in sexual terms but neutral or not in survival terms are selected (as well as how animals with beneficial survival mutations may not see that propagate if they are sexually unattractive).  Sexual selection remains somewhat obscure in comparison to natural selection because the idea of female mate choice is rather...distasteful to many male scientists and a male-orientated society (especially in the 1800s and first 3 quarters or so of the 1900s).  Ignorance of this is usually a key feature of any creationist/ID arguement, interestingly.  But then those types usually are sexually repressed.

Nah, that was just the science of boobies. The philosophy of boobies would be something like: The individual, in viewing the boobie, inescapably imprints onto the boobie some aspect of him/herself, which thus assigns the boobie its function. The discrepancy between this supposed function of the boobie and the boobie's actual existence as a "thing-in-itself" is denied in such contexts as religion and Platonism, which hold the boobie's function as logically prior to its existence. However, in the German phenomenological movement, we find that the perception of the boobie takes on new signifiance, eventually influencing the formation of existentialism in France with Sartre's declaration that "the boobie's existence preceeds its essence".

Makes me feel lucky for living in a country where mocking and otherwise undermining any serious attempts at enforcing political correctness is commonplace. I bet in the US, someone would try to make the little mermaid wear a bra

Not before it's raped 3 times...

Anyway, keep the spirit alive, dang'it America! What, GTA-style cop-killing, drug trafficking, random street violence and gangland murders are all fine, well and good in videogames, but a bit of boobage will rot all the kiddies' souls? WTH?

Quiche is a tasty and healthy alternative for many main dishes at the dinner table. Using a mix often consisting of egg, vegetables, and finly ground or cut chips of meat (often ham) it delivers a sensational taste for only a fraction of the calories.

Heh, relevance escapes us sometimes.

I looove boobies.
