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!

The last time I got a Lunchable all it was had was Capri Sun and an oreo, outside of the usually inedible food. I think my baby brother got gipped. How rude.

What? Like I'm the only sibling that got tired of making the kid's sandwiches the night before when I could be watching television, so I made my mom buy those instead. I made his TV dinners. Wasn't that enough?

I get those boxed South Beach lunches that are right next to Lunchables in the store, and I'm always feeling cheated because my "adult" lunches only have a Jell-O cup in them. Would it kill someone to put some cheese stars in here?

*laugh* I tried to eat South Beach, and yeah, no. I hated those. I think every mass produced box lunch should have a shaped food surprise inside. Like star cheese or a dog shaped sandwich.
