CONSUME! CONFORM!

Via Red State Blues's weekly round-up (Helluva wk., & every item's worth clicking.) from The Propaganda Professor,
an image I like
Must admit, probably generated by a robot (Note dials on telebision set.) unless the Professor is a talented
(& fast-working artist) & it's not bad beside the dials & that black thing atop the moneybag.
Wonder what they told the robot to do, & if they showed it pictures. Oops! Missed a few at first glance.
Always count the fingers: The busty blonde is short one. Also too, the sugar cubes aren't all cubes (or white)
the salt shaker needs holes in the lid, the box should read "STAYS CRISP!",
the flag's not well rendered & the brain support looks hinky.
& an opening paragraph w/ which I couldn't agree more, to wit:
Confession time: I like my breakfast cereal soggy. There, I’ve said it. Yep, I like it to soak up the milk like the most absorbent of sponges, becoming so saturated that you can’t tell where the cereal ends and the milk begins. Apparently eating cereal without sound effects is a sacrilege, because the cereal makers have long been advocates for cereal apartheid, actively striving to develop and market a product that “stays crunchy longer” by adjusting moisture content, adding sugar or glaze coatings (yum), and altering density and shape. So those little neon-colored, sugar-bombed nuggets are more likely to get lodged between your teeth. Aren’t you thrilled? Do most cereal aficionados really prefer their morning bowl this way? I don’t know. But if they do, I strongly suspect that it’s only because someone on Madison or whatever Avenue decided they should, and began hyping that particular attribute.
Before I became a breatharian I enjoyed Cap'n Crunch® Original (Because there weren't 10 freaking varieties then.) fully soaked. The Professor goes deeper, & it's further evidence you're all sheep. I agree w/ that too.
