Ten Things That are Just Wrong.
*Disclaimer: Any thing in this list that is considered 'just wrong' is, for the most part, subjective and open to disagreement. Other things I would hope humanity agrees with me bout and already holds the same or similar opinion.
1. Child models. I realise that Target needs little'ns to show the world what to buy, but sexualised, adultised child modelling is 'just wrong'. And if you tell me 'it's what the child wants' don't be surprised if I tell you I think that is 'just wrong'.
2. Hello Kitty vibrators. Disney doesn't use its own name when it makes porn; Hello Kitty, maybe you need to take a leaf. Now don't get me wrong, it is not the equipment I have an issue with: its only that I find the packaging 'just wrong'.
3. Irregular Choice selling cigarette paraphernalia to impressionable young females. They denied it was smoking. ‘You can light things like candles with a lighter’, they said. And plant a cactus in an ashtray I assume. They have moved them off the main page now. Good. Do they not know that the largest growing group of smokers is young females—coincidently the largest growing group of Irregular Choice consumers.
4. Anne Geddes Photos. Do those babies actually want to be wrapped up in lettuce leaves and agapanthuses, or sleeping on someone's bassett hound? There is something creepy about uterine metaphors and all those crinkly baby bits. Apologies to mothers who find this all as cute as cute can be, but, ah, I just find it weird, and wrong.
5. Liz Hurley even being in the same room as Warney. No, it cannot be true!! And then, to make it worse, read the disparity of intellects evidenced by their tweet correspondence. It’s embarrassing. Thank goodness that didn’t last very long.

I had heard of Hello Kitty champagne (on the great Colbert Report, ABC2), but not the vibrators. Are they real?
ReplyDeleteYeah, they were in one of the weekend papers - scary eh? Are you going to do another blog now that your forty days are over. It must feel weird to stop! One of the ladies at work has just very recently ceased to be a partner in the Thread Den--it sounds cool, they had the original over on North Melbourne.
ReplyDeleteHave started a new blog topic in the same blog (http://mymindsephemera.blogspot.com - quick plug for muself). The new topic is decluttering and in particular whether fung shui works.
