Wank? In my snark comm?
It's more likely than you think.

So, over at ugly_crap on LJ, the comm members amuse themselves by doing the equivalent of telling ghost stories: finding the ugliest/most tasteless products possible and snarking them. Most of the time, things are pretty quiet there - it's quite rare that commenters disagree with the OP's judgement, and when it happens, it's usually pretty civil.

But when moira_aoibheane posts these high heels for babies, things get a little messy.

We have accusations that commenters have no sense of humour, cries of misogyny, and your standard "This isn't funny!" "That's because you have no sense of humour!" "ZOMG U JUST INSULTED MY SENSE OF HUMOUR U H00R!".

And, because no wank would be complete without it: invocation of Godwin's Law for absolutely no reason at all!

Small, but tasty.

	Only vaguely related, but my daughter could hang a spoon off the end of her nose when she was a baby. Well, toddler really. She used to walk around the house that way for hours, it was really impressive. She never tried it in high heels, though. Or while prostituting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Well get on it! She might have talent.

My daughter couldn't even keep socks on her feet. But she did love to wear everyone elses shoes on her arms. For a long time she'd crawl around the living room with barefeet and a pair of my running shoes on her forearms. It was cute. Now, of course, she's turned into a little fashion girl: Fashion being frothy pink dresses with flowers and butterflies and glitter.
