On Cuteness

Vanity Fair had a really great article recently on America's addiction to Cute. Check it out here.
I think this article makes so many great points and is very well-written. It could easily be extended into a book--some of the topics were only briefly touched on, and could be expanded. For instance, his point about the cute addiction affecting even food: the obsession with cupcakes and, I would add, slider burgers! And everyone is familiar with the self-perpetuating black hole that is watching animal videos on youtube, which induce "cutegasms" (a term I had never heard before).
Well worth a read.

But seriously. I want a pug dog. And I will call it Pugancious D. And it shall be so.

" Now we would rather log on and tune out, preferably in the womb-like comfort of a Snuggie, which is the perfect thing to wear as we gaze at photos of kittens while gnawing on delicious cupcakes.

Nom-nom-nom."
