Haminal

Confused with what to give to your ham-lovin' love of your life on Valentine's Day? How about this cute can-shaped plushy called Haminal?

The cute and tasty* Haminal came to be when one day, while socializing over a campfire, artist Crystal Chesney-Thompson thought it would be so much easier for the ham cannery if there was a small, pink and tasty animal that's can-shaped. So, all they have to do is pop them into a can, and voila - canned ham!

Everyone loved the idea, and thus Haminal was born: Link

*certainly cute, but Haminal plushy is not edible, nor is it considered tasty by most people.

I hate Haminal with a visceral disgust that wells up from a hollow place in my soul.

Given the behavior of most of the people shown (I think these are mostly Russian dashcam videos), they all should expect to have a brush with death. Many are walking into traffic without looking, walking into traffic while texting, driving at high speed in snowy conditions or with low visibility, or even trying to overtake an oncoming car while crossing the street!
And then there's the car in Arabia, which was probably an incident of 'drifting'; a nihilistic and suicidal practice of disaffected and bored Saudi men.
I showed some of these videos to my daughter when she was learning to drive, in order to show her the kinds of things she should be aware of for 'defensive driving'.
