I'm not sure whether to be proud or disappointed we don't have pretty glowing structures scattered about the US. And then I think of another LED-laden building... damn, I want to say it's a library, and now I can't even remember if it's in Russia or China (but it was definitely featured on this site)... and I lean towards disappointed. Do want.
How about mommy and daddy leave the kiddys out of their political message?
My impression was that the parents' political message is actually commenting on the immaturity of political debate and reporting, not the the candidates, hence 4 year olds speaking. -- I liked it, mainly because it reminded me of the boy and girl having coffee in Airplane. :)
This is like that toilet/keyboard germs report... every year now it seems to get dragged up again by someone. This is at least the third time I've seen something in the last couple years about goldfish actually having a memory.
Considering that focusing on the mail probably kept them from panicking and they never had any real chance of getting on a life boat... I'd say probably worth it. What else could they have done?
Seems pretty rational to me. What father doesn't dread the day his little girl starts trying on mini-skirts and slathering on make-up? The whole "no dressing like a skank or befriending one who does" and "no associating with boys we don't know"... aren't new ideals in the parental lexicon. And of course they've almost never been obeyed. But that's also what teenagers will do. He's concerned about how his daughter will view herself as she grows up getting hammered by "media sluts" and wants to make sure he can instill a non-sexual, non-superficial feeling of self-worth in her.
If only more parents were so "abusive" (as Stickarm called it).
The user someecard is recommending someecards.com? Color me shocked! Those are all basically the same gimmick as Wondermark and Married to the Sea. (Amusing gimmick, though.)
