The Perils Of Cuteness

There Is *Nothing* Held Sacred These Days...

Have you seen the new trend in bottled water?

Introducing the Aquapod! It's marketed to kids, with only 11 oz. per bottle.



The Texas version has stumpier feet, and our local spring water brand is Ozarka.



Ain't them things cute? I snagged a couple at a recent staff meeting where refreshments were available. Wasn't all that thirsty, but I just couldn't resist the adorable little bulgy bottles.

And therein lies the problem. I speak, of course, of Rule 34.

See, Rule 34 of the Internet states that no matter what it is, be it fish, fowl, Ford or furniture, on the internet, you can find p()rno based on it.

No treasured childhood cartoon or memory is exempt. Snow White? Seen her gettin' stuffed by the 7 Dwarves. Captain Kangaroo? Got emailed a cartoon of him in a leather bar doing unspeakable things with Bunny Rabbit, Mr. Moose and a bucket of ping pong balls...

It can get ugly. It sometimes can make you want to claw your eyes out.

So, I'm betting that it'll take no time at all before I'm emailed a pic or film clip of these cute little bottles being shoved up someone's nether orifices.

Ain't technology grand?

(On a side note, if there's any BattleTech players still out there, these bottles (with some kitbashing, styrene sculpting and a good paint job) are dead ringers for the Overlord-class dropship, and with a little work and some skill, you could wrangle out a Union-class dropship as well. They appear to pretty much cover a 7-hex map area. Just a thought...)
