00:00:01:02 Hi! I am Jim Dupree and you know a lot of
00:00:02:11 people are worried about global warming,
00:00:04:13 they are talking about the polar ice caps melting
00:00:06:19 at an alarming rate.
00:00:08:02 You have got polar bears losing their habitat,
00:00:10:01 you have penguins losing their habitat,
00:00:12:00 you have ice turtles losing their habitat,
00:00:14:14 and people wonder is it the fossil fuels,
00:00:15:25 is it the Ozone layer, is it Osama Bin Laden?
00:00:18:26 And I have a bit of a confession to make,
00:00:21:02 it's none of those things.
00:00:22:29 It's this television show,
00:00:25:01 this is HoTTT TopiXXX.
00:00:29:10 [Music]
00:00:42:20 Yes that's right, this is HoTTT TopiXXX,
00:00:48:08 I am Jim Dupree
00:00:50:02 and this is where the big brains come to debate the big issues,
00:00:53:23 the hot brains come to tackle the hot issues.
00:00:56:25 Let's meet our panel.
00:00:58:03 We have Acos Achempol.
00:01:00:12 It says here you are the quality control District Manager of
00:01:03:28 Groundnut Proteins Limited.
00:01:06:04 -That's right. -Is that right?
00:01:07:01 -Yes. -Sounds pretty fancy.
00:01:08:20 Well it's really just quality control,
00:01:10:14 but I am the District Manager.
00:01:12:10 I am glad to have you here.
00:01:13:14 Are you ready to get hot?
00:01:14:28 I am very ready to get hot.
00:01:16:24 Alright, excellent.
00:01:17:27 Next we have Jesper Delahunt, historian.
00:01:21:08 Hi! Jim.
00:01:22:13 Are you going to tell us a little history today.
00:01:24:23 Oh I will,
00:01:26:03 I think I will delve in a little bit to the various histories.
00:01:28:25 Looking forward to it. Are you ready to get hot?
00:01:31:05 I have been looking forward to getting hot all week.
00:01:33:07 Oh well, we are glad to have you.
00:01:35:14 And rounding out the panel we have Peter Kuling, Professor.
00:01:38:18 Professor, yes.
00:01:39:18 Professor Peter Kuling, BiteTV's own.
00:01:40:28 Yes.
00:01:43:06 Same question to you sir, are you ready to get hot?
00:01:46:01 I have been simmering and I am ready to boil.
00:01:48:06 Alright, well let's get to it, our first topic, face-lifts,
00:01:51:26 tummy tucks, butt plugs, we are talking cosmetic surgery.
00:01:56:16 It can rejuvenate a saggy body
00:01:59:15 but it can also be very, very dangerous.
00:02:02:26 So our question is, Cosmetic Surgery
00:02:05:08 is it a miracle of modern science,
00:02:07:11 or is it dangerous and vain?
00:02:11:07 Now Professor Kuling, I know you have had some work done.
00:02:13:19 Do you want to tell us a little bit about that?
00:02:15:06 Oh I don't want to tell you all about all of that work,
00:02:18:04 but I have had a few things tucked in
00:02:20:24 and moved occasionally,
00:02:22:06 a third nostril flattened out, definitely.
00:02:26:08 I don't know, I think it's helped me fit in often.
00:02:31:02 It's allowed me to look...
00:02:33:17 When you say fit in, do you mean socially
00:02:35:21 or do you mean you can actually get into
00:02:37:24 -smaller spaces and premises? -No.
00:02:40:10 I think mostly socially.
00:02:42:15 To make sure that I have the right look.
00:02:44:21 Make sure that people are enjoying my happy smiling face.
00:02:48:25 I couldn't profess without looking so good.
00:02:52:15 -I couldn't for sure. -Right right.
00:02:54:07 Jesper, you have also obviously had a little bit of work done
00:02:57:27 obviously with your nose, your ears, the pec implants.
00:03:01:22 Are you worried that
00:03:03:08 some of that is maybe a little too obvious
00:03:04:29 that people are going to see walking down the street,
00:03:07:26 they are going to say, oh it's too clear that
00:03:10:29 he is a vain human being concerned with his appearance.
00:03:14:13 Actually Jim I don't because the quality of the plastic surgery
00:03:18:03 today is so good,
00:03:20:01 that you really have to wait till someone is 70, 80 years old
00:03:23:25 before you can tell and at that point,
00:03:26:27 hopefully technology will have progressed enough that
00:03:30:23 I can like wither my plastic pecs.
00:03:34:18 -Right now -Alright.
00:03:35:17 Do you recycle those?
00:03:37:00 That's an excellent question.
00:03:38:22 Do they go in with the milk cartons or would they go in...
00:03:42:11 They would go into the blue box rather than the green box,
00:03:45:27 because they are not organic, that's the whole point.
00:03:46:28 Right yes.
00:03:48:13 The organic part of your body was lacking. But they can get recycled?
00:03:50:27 I don't say it's plastic, same as like a yogurt container...
00:03:54:01 Well you would recycle like the food.
00:03:55:21 In fact my pecs are made out of yogurt containers.
00:03:56:26 And you recycle your dildos, right?
00:03:58:24 Is this the same sort of thing?
00:04:01:19 Sometimes the dildos have to go into the organic,
00:04:03:12 it de-Right.n...
00:04:05:05 But obviously there have be risks associated with this.
00:04:08:06 So obviously when you had your work done,
00:04:10:06 did they outline
00:04:11:14 what some of the potential downsides could be?
00:04:13:21 Yes.
00:04:15:02 Yes they did.
00:04:16:03 One... my pecs might smell like boysenberry
00:04:18:26 for the rest of my life.
00:04:20:06 That might be bad.
00:04:21:10 -Did you have options? -Oh that wasn't there.
00:04:23:19 Did you have yogurt options, flavors
00:04:26:16 that you could select from?
00:04:27:19 You know what, they didn't.
00:04:30:01 I imagine that one and I don't know
00:04:31:13 because it's just the... like it's just the material.
00:04:34:14 Is that why they call you the man with the boysenberry pecs?
00:04:36:22 No that's a completely different reason.
00:04:39:11 We will get onto that on a different show.
00:04:41:05 Professor Kuling, I want to ask you about
00:04:43:28 the age that people are getting,
00:04:45:23 this is younger and younger and younger.
00:04:47:16 -Yeah for sure. -A lot of school children want to get this.
00:04:50:18 Yes, yes.
00:04:51:25 How young is too young Professor for cosmetic surgery,
00:04:53:13 because personally I find an infant
00:04:55:27 that has to wear a bra
00:04:57:22 that makes me uncomfortable as a human being.
00:05:00:26 It seems just really unnatural.
00:05:02:11 Yes, no, no.
00:05:03:15 I would say we would have to watch out,
00:05:04:28 I mean in my classroom,
00:05:06:13 I even have... I have students doing it all the time.
00:05:09:02 I even had one student get my face to pretend to be me once.
00:05:13:02 He tried to take out library books, it was a little bit...
00:05:16:01 He was trying to cut your face off you.
00:05:17:28 Not cut my face off, just copy the... replicate it.
00:05:20:13 TJust replicate it.k.
00:05:22:28 But when we have people who are eight to ten
00:05:25:25 getting these sort of augmentations,
00:05:27:09 I am not entirely sure if we should be doing that.
00:05:30:01 I think it's fine, if they look ugly, I think it's fine.
00:05:32:22 So an ugly baby... so a baby comes out of
00:05:35:21 a woman's birth canal
00:05:38:00 and you pick it up and you say that's not so hot looking...
00:05:41:28 Well wait till everything... wait till it starts to form.
00:05:43:23 So that's the question, how long do you wait?
00:05:45:19 Is it a matter of days, is it a matter of weeks?
00:05:47:14 No, no, no I think five and up.
00:05:49:15 Five and up.
00:05:50:13 Yeah five and up you can start because
00:05:52:06 you don't want things to start to settle...
00:05:54:13 things are still sort of malleable.
00:05:56:22 So I think five years old you can start tucking the ears back
00:06:00:21 and that started a long time ago,
00:06:02:28 Jesper you want to put an age on this.
00:06:04:12 No. I was going to agree with Acos
00:06:06:15 and I was going to say they are so malleable
00:06:08:07 when they are young, you don't need the plastic.
00:06:10:13 Use that to your advantage.
00:06:11:25 You just use a mold, stick them in a mold, something like that.
00:06:14:02 That's true.
00:06:15:13 And I am thinking... looking at Arnold Schwarzenegger mold,
00:06:18:07 you press him right in there. -Yes. Yeah for sure.
00:06:20:06 I want to quickly go along the panel what's your next surgery
00:06:23:01 tell us a little bit about it?
00:06:24:09 Probably my toes.
00:06:27:18 I am not happy with them.
00:06:28:27 I know they are fine but I think that they can be a step-up.
00:06:34:04 Jesper next surgery?
00:06:35:15 Hair plugs.
00:06:36:09 Hair plugs. Excellent.
00:06:37:03 And Professor Kuling.
00:06:38:08 I am going to get another testicle Jim.
00:06:40:06 Oh very, very nice, that's a useful addition.
00:06:44:08 We are going to leave it there but coming up after the break,
00:06:45:13 we are talking music.
00:06:46:28 What musical instrument in the best and why?
00:06:50:29 Stick around.
00:06:51:23 [Music]
00:00:02:11 people are worried about global warming,
00:00:04:13 they are talking about the polar ice caps melting
00:00:06:19 at an alarming rate.
00:00:08:02 You have got polar bears losing their habitat,

00:06:35:15 Hair plugs.
00:06:36:09 Hair plugs. Excellent.
00:06:37:03 And Professor Kuling.
00:06:38:08 I am going to get another testicle Jim.
00:06:40:06 Oh very, very nice, that's a useful addition.
