The Lotus Boob! It does haunt my dreams!
Over at PostSecret, Frank posts a postcard from someone containing a photo of the "Lotus Boob." (For those who aren't in the know, it's a picture of a breast that was clearly photoshopped together with a lotus flower and passed around the 'net as some sort of new horrible disease. Denounced by Snopes in 19-diggity-2.)

Whingeing follows immediately. (See Frank's email picks near and around the offending secret.) Hilarious quote from front page:

"This picture has destroyed my day and will haunt me for months if not years. My hair is standing on end and I haven't been able to stop shivering. I can't concentrate on anything now, my mind always returns to that horrific image.

I am saddened that I can no longer view postsecret, but I am too worried about being assailed with another photo that will severely harm my psyche."


Hordes of young girls are scarred for life and "kept up half the night shivering!" A thread is started on PostSecret Chat to determine whether the secret should be taken down.

Some (read: most) dissenters claim that taking down secrets would completely ruin the spirit of PostSecret, and that there have been secrets that have been far more disturbing, like ones about rape and abuse. But it's a boob! With stuff in it! And now they'll never sleep again, and probably die and I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY, POSTSECRET.

Ahem... 101 pages of flouncing and crying in less than a day, and all I really have to say is, if your constitution is too weak to handle a little lotus boob, you may want to reconsider this whole "internet" thing.

ETA: Bonus LOL: The random-lettered link to the secret includes the phrase "AAAAAAAAH."

The Lotus Boob haunted my dreams for months. Even after realizing that it was shooped.

I kept picturing the woman squeezing her breasts, and bloody lotus seeds being squeezed out, one... by... one.

...

AAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGHHH D:

And I had the sheer intelligence to do a quick Google Image search to see what Lotus Seeds look like.

S-M-R-T >_<;;

EEEEEEEEEEWWWW!

D:

Heh, the Lotus boob is so disturbing. And I'm in the EMT/Paramedic program so it's not like I haven't seen more gory stuff, there's just something about lotus pods that bypass the rational logic centers and goes straight to my reptilian hindbrain as BAD AND WRONG.

Exactly. It really hits that "WAH! ICK GET AWAY FROM MEEEEE" part of the brain, hard.

Yeah, I mean, the maggot brain? NO PROBLEM. Patching up someone who's just spilled their guts all over the highway? Piece of cake. Picking up a bum who's got a horrible facial infection? *yawn*

But the sheer unnaturalness of that picture hits every ALERTALERTALERT node in my head.

Do whatever you like to the comment, but it's now stuck in your head.

The only way to make it go away is to not think about it. Easier said than done, believe me. >_<;;

But... if the lotus seeds popped out, it would be a good thing yes?
Like popping a pimple and getting pus out - strange pleasure!

Oh, yeah, and that was the second aggravating part about it.

It's never going to happen. It wasn't real.

It's like trying to scratch an itch that can never exist.

Maddening.

Maybe she can attach a crank to the side of her chest and come up with a new high-speed weapon. RATATATTATTAT!

...okay, maybe I've watched Dead Leaves too many times and find this whole thing too funny. Sorry.
