Lunch box wank.
[info]dracunculus directed my attention to this prime wank. This woman posts to her blog about the fun she has packing Japanese-style bento lunches for her kid. The first few comments are people saying, How cute, how fun.

Then at comment #6, some troll named Sarah makes a nasty remark about how cutting your kid's sandwiches into animal shapes will make him a laughingstock and stunt his imagination. Other people tell her to shut up and let them enjoy themselves. She continues to cuss them out, meanwhile suggesting that they try Xanax to get rid of their rage.

Someone named Victoria made the most patient responses to Sarah's spleen, inspiring someone else to announce, "Victoria, I always thought that Lesbians were mean, vindictive bitches, and you proved that for me. Is it because about 95% of the country thinks your life style is sick and that is why you all are so defensive on other issues too." I wondered if maybe Victoria's website, linked on her comment, identified her as a Lesbian, so I followed the link and found no mention of homosexuality, but at least two mentions of her husband.

Sarah has informed the blogger that she ought to erase her blog and devote her time in future to pursuits meeting with Sarah's approval. After a bit more of other people telling her where she could go, she declared this evening:

"While I stand by my original statement that this is over the top, I think it is hilarious that other people cannot allow someone else to have a differing opinion. It has been highly amusing to watch some people freak out in several places; nobody started a petition to ban food cut-outs. An opinion differing from yours was expressed and some people can’t handle it. Public blogs are going to get some different points of view, but this blog owner allowed them to be expressed and debated, which is highly commendable. You handled this in a way that most people wouldn’t, and I am very impressed. It’s refreshing that the blog owner has enough self esteem not to be upset or hurt by a differing opinion. Wendy, go on with your bad self and those cut-outs. You rock."

She's standing up for her non-sandwich-cutting principles!

In my last three years of elementary school, I studied in an international school (my mom's an Israeli diplomat), so I got to study with kids from all over the world. It was all kinds of awesome, except during lunchtime. No one made fun of me for my boxed lunch, 'cause kids don't make fun of other kids for their lunches unless they're asshole kids, but I still felt much shame. My lunch box was a simple white plastic box that was practical and boring (I love my parents but they have no imagination). But everyone else had such cool lunch boxes with cool cartoon characters on them! But the coolest were the Japanese and Korean kids' bento, which had happy little nori and vegetable faces on the rice and tiny animal-shaped soy sauce containers. How I envied them!

Fuck that shit, Sarah, kids love these things. If I'll ever have kids and grow out of my lazy, they're so getting cute boxed lunches. With teddy bears.

I love people flipping out over food preparation so much that I typed in food_wank when I wanted to check F_W, and wondered why I got 'Unknown User'.

You made me have to breathe through my mouth expectantly until I realized it was a typo.

Is it just me or has someone done that with every wank for the past week or so?

Jeez, and I thought my Japanese students overreacted when they saw me eating tuna and crackers for lunch one time.

Because crackers is not real food.

Damn, I wish my parents had made cute lunches like that for me. :( I was lucky if I left the house with a freaking twinky.

*rips out Sarah's eyes and eats them* >:(

I really wish someone would reply with a picture of a new bento pack with nori letter cutouts declaring, "BITE ME, SARAH". It would be amusing AND delicious.

... say, there's an idea. Insult Bento!

This comment has no point, but I just learned the word 'komorebi' this past week when studying, wondered when in the hell I would ever use it... and have seen it like five times since then. Go figure.

Was anyone else inspired to start making bentos for themselves? Healthy, a good way to control portion size, cheaper then buying lunch, AND super cute.

My biggest problem is I can't seem to find sushi grass. And sushi is so popular around here! *uses nori strips instead as food dividers*

Yeah...not to mention the nice variety. Makes my plain sandwiches feel intimida- ah-HA! THAT'S why Sarah protested! She makes normal sandwiches, and doesn't want the poor things to feel bad in comparison. You know. Before they get eaten and all.

...Because HER imagination was never stunted by bento, so she learned to imagine more about plain food. She can sense its very soul, and wants others to have the same gift. They call her the Sandwich Whisperer...
