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.

My mom made bows out of massively wide ribbon, empty barrettes, and hot glue. My favorite was an empty plastic one she filled with jelly beans. :D

Ditto. But, my favorite was the one she made out of balloons.

I told my mom about this thread. She said that she's got the whole bin of them saved for her grandchildren...

I'm sure mine does to, right along with my old Daisy Kingdom frocks.

God I loved those poofyass things.

My mother, a big sewer-crafter, outright refused to to make me any Daisy Kingdom clothing, because she said it nauseated her.

I think my mother tried. I apparently used to throw a very convincing tantrum.
