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!

Wow. Clearly Sarah's mommy didn't love her enough to make happy sandwich shapes, so NO OTHER CHILD SHOULD EVER GET TO HAVE FUN LUNCHES EVAR.

My Mama made sandwich bunnies for me until she started having to leave for work at 6 AM, then I discovered that the talent clearly ran in the family, because my Papaw took over the "Sacred Honor of Bunny-Making" every morning after that.

It was seriously a ritual. They both thought it was hilarious that five-year-old me would very seriously inspect every bunny every morning to make sure there wasn't a speck of crust, because crust was nasty.

When I was a child my mom did not cut my sandwiches into shapes, but she did draw elaborate pictures on my napkin in marker every day. I thought it was awesome and got mad when she didn't do it. (In retrospect I wonder how awful those napkins looked because holy god my mother cannot draw, but I thought it was the best ever at the time!)

That's so sweet! That's the essence of good parenting: silly amateur crap done with love.
