Three women have been freed after spending 30 years held captive in a south London home, police announced Thursday, including one woman believed to have spent her entire life as a virtual slave.

London's Metropolitan Police announced the rescues after two people — a man and a woman, both 67 — were arrested early Thursday as part of an investigation into slavery and domestic servitude.

The investigation was launched after one of the captive women contacted a charity, which then went to the police. Those freed "some weeks ago" are a 69-year-old Malaysian woman, a 57-year-old Irish woman and a 30-year-old British woman.

That 30 year old was captive her entire life...

That happened here. They weren't in the same mall, but they were less than a mile apart on the same road.

Here too. 1 in the mall, 1 in the plaza across the street from the mall.

Only thing ugly about their before pics are their teeth. Now they look like literally every other asian model. Sad.

The before pics looked like they'd been smashed in the face with a sledgehammer. The face isn't supposed to be concave - it's supposed to be convex, as in the after pics. The teeth were outrageously bad, but they were fairly ugly without the snarls.

[AidenCarby]

Don't matter now, they're fucking good looking sooooooo.

[BaneTheBrawler]

sure if you get off on barbie dolls

So there's a little game that usually gets played if a group of guys goes out here in Korea. When you see a girl who has had surgery, you gamble on what part of Seoul her doctor's office was in. Each district sort of has it's own "look" you could say. The girls in that article definitely had a doctor from Hongdae.

[Mazmaz]

seriously fuck Korea

[Vuitton]

The doctor fixed their faces, but you notice none of them are smiling in their after photos because they still have fucking dolphin teeth. I wonder how they got their skin so white, maybe just make up.

[Lucki]

Bleaching most likely

Not really worthy of it's own thread, but completely retarded nonetheless, so figured I'd throw this here:

Katy Perry opened the American Music Awards on Sunday night dressed as a geisha while belting out her latest single "Unconditionally."

Although the stage aesthetics and colorful attire were quite beautiful, Perry is being called racist for sexualizing a traditional Japanese female figure, who is paid to serve as a hostess and excels in the art of entertainment, reports The Huffington Post.

The opening act included cherry blossoms, a Shinto shrine and taiko drummers. Perry appeared on stage draped in a kimono along with several dozen dancers wearing the cultural garb. Shortly after her performance ended, though, the critics began sounding off.

Cosmopolitan.com led their coverage by asking "Was Katy Perry's AMAs performance racist?" but Vulture.com's writer Jesse David Fox wasn't so diplomatic in his approach. He compared her showing to other "racially tut-tutted" performances.
Unconditionally? Time will tell if Katy Perry's fans stick by her.

"Selena Gomez's Hindu-referencing Billboard Awards performance and, of course, Miley Cyrus's VMAs performance," he wrote.

Still, like Cosmo, Fox ultimately left it up to the readers to decide.

"Was Perry's Great Wave of Japanese signifiers offensive, simply stereotypical or harmlessly deferential in an inert Katy Perry maximalist way?" he added along with a YouTube clip of the performance.

Prior to touching down on stage, Perry took to Twitter to hint at her performance by showing a picture of her floral designed microphone.

"A clue to the theme of my AMA performance this evening!" she wrote. "I will be OPENING the show & take you on a trip!!!"

"Trip to where?" @NickDelGaga asked.

Shortly after fans and critics were aware of that Perry intended to take viewers on a journey to the Far East and the backlash quickly began.

"Why are you dressed like a geisha Katy Perry?" @CHEL_seeyaa tweeted, according to the Huff Post. "Why? For What? #thisisracist like horribly obviously racist."

"I guess Katy Perry really didn't want to be left out of the mind-numbingly ignorant and racist pop-star hall of shame," @what-freshhell tweeted.

But not all the feedback was negative, according to Fox News.

"These claims of Katy Perry's AMA performance being racist are absolutely ridiculous," @iamdanbrooks wrote. "Appreciation and appropriation of other cultures is ok."

@look_itsLaura chimed in adding, "It honestly bothers me that people believe @katyperry performance was a racist act. She loves the Japanese culture and japan loves her."

Regardless of popular opinion, Perry reportedly intended to push the brink of artistry and musicality with her opening act at the awards show.

"I appreciate all the other awards shows for they are," she said in a previous interview. "Some are just kind of shock-jock shows. Some are just like, 'Hey, let's see how many celebrities we can get together.' Some are actually legitimate like the Grammys, and the AMAs is a very legitimate show with musicality to it."

Where's all the racist rage for white cosplayers wearing animu?

[Vuitton]

The real outrage should be that she is wearing a kimono-type print on a Chinese dress called a cheongsam. Katy Perry: Some Kind of Asian.

[Howie Roary]

it's not like she taped her eyes and wore fake teeth like Breakfast at Tiffany's, isn't the Geisha still around?

This is what I thought as well. People emulate parts of other cultures all the time. Racist would be pushing stereotypes of the people from that culture in a negative way. I guess everything is racist these days.
