I hate (almost) all your comment on SLOG. This is no exception.
As a non-profit worker, we are trying to figure out ways to connect donors with our cause. This picture is ingenious to me.

@2 No kidding. And this is at least two years old. Granted thoughts have no timeline per se, but good thoughts are timely....

Mudede's comments spiral around the point like a consumer in search of meaning, forever oscillating between plausible and implausible, static and dynamic, never finding the true expression of a sentiment. The wordiness and self-importance serve to separate reader from author beyond the already imposed limitations of a one-to-many communications medium. Thoughts that might be insightful and profound when sitting on one's couch, stoned out of one's mind, hands orange from Cheetos, lose their transformational and paradigm-shifting perspective when distilled through the writing and posting process, building up rather than tearing down barriers.
Yawn. It's a style, I guess.

Now, you guys know I'll almost never give Charles a compliment if I can possibly avoid it, but this is kind of cool. Thanks for posting it. (Even if it doesn't "mean" what you think it means.)

The Mind of the Mother interests me. She has chosen her child, as seen on TV in a toothpaste commercial. I wonder if she has a real, human child, too, and how he/she might feel, at seeing the mom clutching her "cardboard-child as fashion accessory." More 'beautuful' then her real one? healthier? happier?
She was asked to objectify a child, and she signed on the dotted line.
It is a horror show. It is violent, destroying the most sacred of human relations. And it only costs $9.99.
"Mom, can I have a hug?" " No, you can't -- in case you haven't noticed, my hands are already full."
