Personally, I think getting Andorian antennas is much more sensible. If you ever get tired of them, you can have them hacked off, and your hair will cover the stubs. Nobody will know. Hmmm... Klingon forehead ridges... Tellerite noses... Hmmmm.... I know! Cardassian neck muscle scales!
Photo is fake but the surgery is real. Actually i went to plastic surgery last year to get Vulcan pointed ear but unfortunately the doctor botched it and gave me Ferengi ears instead. Now when its cold i have to wear the biggest Fur Ear Muffs(custom made people) in the world.
Why are people who practice body modification necessarily freaks? Just because you wouldn't do it doesn't make the person a freak. There is a long history of body modding in many many different cultures around the world. If a person wants to do something to his/her body, we should just accept it and not judge him/her.
If there are people deep enough into the ST subculture as to form the band StoVoKor (Founders of, and as far as I can tell, the current sole constituents of, the, uh.. Klingon Metal genre), then I can believe there are people deep enough into it to have "spock ears" plastic surgery.
If I remember correctly, Trekkies didn't show anyone who had had their ears changed. The closest the film got was one guy saying he'd like to do it and his wife looking at him like he'd totally crossed the border into crazy-land.
My friend's ears are almost as pointed as the girl's in that picture. Naturally. It's freaky. And yet kinda cool.
And meanwhile, we'll let you ponder the irony of your non-judgmental judgment of the people here taking an opposing position to your own.
You do make an interesting and amusing point. Although, in my defense, any time a person makes a statement like the one I made a judgment must necessarily be made. And I stand by my initial point that people of sound mind ought to be allowed to mod their bodies as they see fit without others looking down on them. But, I also acknowledge that people that mod their bodies in a manner in violation of social norms are pretty much asking to be judged. However, in the spirit of Trek, I don't think anyone should judge them negatively as a result. Just my opinion though.
