The aliens are us

Synopsis

So great is the media pressure focusing on health and body image these days that finally, after giving it a lot of thought, I decided to spend some time in one of those beauty spas that promise to cleanse every toxin out of your body, leaving you brand new and a few years younger, almost as if they were talking about a tune-up for a luxury car. I say “luxury” because of the price they charged me.

There were a lot of people there in white coats, who starved me so brutally that I no longer have any desire to visit Africa. Why bother, when I’ve experienced such deprivation right here at home?

When I finally got back from the spa, where I had paid a fortune to be subjected to misery and boredom, I called Zoilo to talk about my experience.
