There are some laws in existence that don’t make sense to me and even some that I flat out disagree with, but I understand that it’s my responsibility as an American citizen to follow said laws. After all, if a bunch of people just started to ignore laws they didn’t understand or thought were asinine, chaos would ensue after awhile.

And if this makes sense to me, a mere citizen of the United States, one would think that it’d be a no-brainer for the U.S. government, but …

Well, it’s not.

Connecticut’s Carmen Cardona, an eighteen year Navy Veteran and a lesbian married to her “longtime female partner”, has been denied spousal disability bennies for her wife …

Kira Ayn Varszegi is a Connecticut artist who turned her 38DDs into paintbrushes, mixing paint in a small circular dish, smearing it all over her boobs, then working them over a canvas. Her online store featuring thousands of original works is called Turtle Kiss Designs.

From The Sun:

The 34-year-old uses a mixture of colours and angles her boobs in various different directions to create her eye-catching pieces.

She then sells her breast pieces online, with some fetching more than $600.

I guess it’s true that the internet is a double-edged sword … But, to be fair to Varszegi, however, she is obviously passionate about …
