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!

IF THERE'S ONE THING FOUR-YEAR-OLDS REALLY HATE YOU FOR, IT'S FOOD SHAPED LIKE CUTE ANIMALS! GOD, THEY WILL FLIP THEIR SHIT OVER THAT CRAZYNESS.

THEY ALSO DESPISE CANDY THAT MAKES THEIR TONGUES CHANGE COLOR, AND CEREAL WITH CARTOON MASCOTS.

Also:

Cutting your kids’ sandwiches and cheese into shapes does not stimulate their imaginations. It’s kind of like giving your kids a coloring book instead of plain paper.

Hellz yeah! Keep animal crackers away from those bitches. Make them bake the cookies themselves from scratch, or they will build NOOO CHARACTER. They are also forbidden to read books, only write them!

Was I the only kid who made her animal crackers fight to the death by making them butt heads, then ate the loser (read, which one got cracked first)? I had a collection of stale "winners" for awhile, before they started drawing ants and I had to throw them away.

No, but I used to always eat the monkey's head and torso so it'd be covered up.

I was a strange child.

I don't remember doing that, but I always killed them as humanely as possible by biting off the heads first.

...um. If by "kid" you don't mean "as late as 12-14 years of age," then... No. No, totally not.

Also, am I the only one who read this and thought "what the hell is wrong with giving your kids a coloring book?" Not like they won't end up giving all the people blue skin and fangs and pretend they're aliens, anwyay.

Exactly. There's nothing wrong with colouring books. I found a really cool one when I went to England the first time that was called "The Anti-Colouring Book". Basically it has half formed pictures and asks you to finish them based on some silly instructions. One page asks you to write someone a letter only using pictures and symbols, another is a blank stem and says you've just discovered an alien plant and you need to make a sketch of it, that kind of stuff. I bought one for my (adult) roommate and she's made everyone she knows fill out pages in it.

They have them here, too- they're in the workbook section of most large bookstores.

Oh cool! I'd never seen them before my friend who was raised in England pointed one out to me while we were shopping.
Is 'here' the US? I assume so but I'm not sure.

Or, if they're me, they'll either replace EVERYTHING POSSIBLE with their favorite color, or, if it's a Disney coloring book or something like that, make sure everything matches as exactly as possible, right down to specific colors and shading.

SRSLY, my coloring-book pages had cross-hatching.

I know people like this. "Oh, I don't read much, because I want my books to be PURELY MY OWN VISION!!". And his mother encouraged him.

He barely made it into a college writing program and dropped out (or possibly was kicked out) after a year. HAH.

...You can get kicked out of college writing programs? Seriously? With all respect to serious creative writing students, I thought the only way you could fail an undergrad creative writing course was to not do the homework. At all. Ever.

If he felt that even reading other books was overshadowing his vision of what he wanted to write, then I'm sure being asked -- nay, required -- to write according to specific instructions was FAR too oppressive.

Man, I wrote my first "book" when I was seven or eight and it was a horrifying experience. I read it to my class (with the permission and support of my teacher) and they did not like it. I didn't write anything of my own for the next three years because of that.
