    Well, what successful lives these people lead. I’m sure their parents must be proud.

    @Rose - First thing I noticed too! Some might say our priorities are screwed up, but I’d have to disagree. Mostly.

    i think some of you folks could use a donut :)

    as Burl Ives sang:

    As you go through life make this your goal
    Watch the donut, not the hole.

    As a small aside, the box of donuts is a very weird idea.

    It exists only in North America as far as I’ve seen.

    From the very far north of Scotland through all of Scandinavia,all of mainland Europe, over to Australia and NZ, if you want a donut or a patisserie or a sticky bun, you go and buy one.

    ONE.

    How on earth did the idea of buying a BOX of donuts become normalised in your country?

    It is like gluttony at it’s absolute zenith.

    To what end?

    I don’t get it either. How does demanding donuts (or doughnuts) protest a new feature? Were they protesting that video din’t belong on Flickr? Or protesting that only Pro users got it?

    Explanation: No, it doesn’t have anything to do with the video feature. But getting what you want depends on what you ask for.

    Oh yeah, Matt, the protest is that videos don’t belong on Flickr; a lot of users want to preserve Flickr’s identity as a photographer’s network.

    Boxes of doughnuts or donuts exist in Japan too, but the maximum you can order is 12, i.e. 12 in a box. The box pictured looks like it could fit 30. They even have curry donuts in Japan too. Yes, you heard me right, curry donuts.

    Pol x, a box of donuts is not a weird idea. No one eats them all; they are for sharing. Does the rest of the world not buy donuts for other people?

  • Tom

    Yup, rest of the world is full of greedy bastards, not at all like us Americans. . .

    It’s sad that you can’t get a baker’s dozen in Japan. That whole country tends to take things way too literally.

    @Miss Cellania : you, madam, win absolutely. :D

    That’s probably the best possible way to explain this issue..and..well…just about anything. Getting what you want depends on what you ask for. ;)
