Who's the bigger boob?

So why exactly is Mariah Carey bothering to battle Mary Carey?

I first encountered Mary Carey when I saw How Arnold Won The West, and it's obvious that exposure (of the press kind) isn't something she's worried about, so this certainly isn't going to bother her. And it's also likely that she chose that stage name purely because she wanted people to pretend Mariah really was in those videos... but, seriously... who is going to confuse them?

But now Mary is trying to trademark her name, and Mariah doesn't like it, because their names are too similar. Soon, people will be confusing Bing Crosby with Bill Cosby, Naomi Campbell with Neve Campbell, and Al Pacino and Robert De Niro! (Okay, that last pairing is a reference to a Billy Connelly joke...)

But my favourite part in all of this, of the picture they selected to go with this piece, who's showing more? :)
