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!

This could lead to philosophical discussions of why bread is shaped the way it is in the first place. Is it because of the way the loaf bakes up, or did we all subconsciously agree upon what bread is supposed to look like?

Because... all bread is shaped alike?

Of course, you're assuming that whenever we look at a loaf of bread, we all see the same shape. How do you know that what you see as rectangular, I don't see as round? Perhaps my brother sees a torus! How do you know green is really green?? Is there a universe in your fingernail??? WHY DO WE PERCEIVE??? MOMMMMYYYYYY!!!

My brother sees a Pisces when he looks at bread!

...oh wait, you said torus.

That's indeed a good question. Perhaps this shape was chosen so that a slice of bread fits into a lunch box and has the right form for slices of cheese and cold cuts.

Yes, it took me this long to think this through.
