QuoteToo hot for politics? Canadian MP at centre of Photoshopping controversy after cleavage is mysteriously retouched
She's the first Canadian Tamil MP and the standard bearer for young women in a male dominated political culture.
But rising member of Parliament, Rathika Sitsabaiesan, 29, is at the centre of an embarrassing Photoshop controversy- after authorities apparently deemed her cleavage (pictured left) too hot to handle.
According to political blog Contrarian, an enterprising reader performed an image search for Sitsabaiesan and came across the thumbnail.
But when the reader clicked through to Sitsabaiesan's official Parliamentary profile, he found a modified version of the headshot, which had been retouched to edit out her feminine curves.
Canada's conservative politicos apparently decided that the photo was inappropriate for a workplace as formal as Parliament.
But critics argue that the alteration was anti-feminist, and that that the cleavage was removed to make Sitsabaiesan appear less womanly.
It is not known if the cropping was requested by her party, her own office, or on the Parliamentary website's own authority.

I'd hit it. Even with that weird uniboob.
I dont want to be around to witness the outrage of Cal over this.
I wonder how she likes her steak.
I'm very curious to see how the new young batch of NDP MPs are going to perform, and whether they'll make it through the next election.

If she doesn't make it, I'll offer Rathika a place in my Sexitorium in the basement. I just installed a mini-fridge!
A 'rising' MP? She's NDP, so she's pretty much peaked.
Photoshopping was stoopid, but what was she thinking with that Vamperilla outfit?

A way to get votes. She's hot.

Probably "that looks pretty cute."
Pat would probably rape her.

Ya got that straight.
She is doable yes.
And lol at the uniboob.
This is bizarre and frankly the work of insane people. I would not vote for someone who prefers to be seen as inhuman.

It's incredibly weird, in a transgender kinda way. If I can't get a Polynesian muscle fuck, she'd have to make up for it somehow.

Surely you can't believe that only francophones are stupid enough to elect unqualified members of the NDP?

Probably not. If it was an ethnic enclave, she would have been honour-killed for wearing a low cut outfit.

Unqualified? Hell, she's a member of an opposition party under a majority government. Being decorative is about all they are useful for. :P

You have it the other way around. They all are unqualified except one. Tony Clement. Clement is awesome.

if they're so qualified, how come they spent 5 years in power and still have no idea where&what to cut to balance the budget?

That's not the job of an MP. That's the job of the government.
Also, I was under the impression that the government has taken some steps and made some plans to balance the budget for FY 2015?

They hired private consultants to tell them what to do, for 20 000 000$.

Young people have less responsibility than ever before.
Yeah, I don't think a comparison to Pitt is fair. Society didn't expect people to live in this extended neonate experience like is expected now. I mean, people got married when they were 14 and shit.
I don't know who the chick with the Jew-sounding name is so I can't comment on that, Ank.

Jew? Sounds like a Goddamn Bond girl. By which I mean it sounds made up.
Bond girl names are usually a little more overt than that, though, like Suckie Thewhore or something. :bowler:

Wrong. You concentrate all your efforts on being inoffensive and optics.
