Have You Seen the Little Piggies?
I leave for work at 5:30 am and they're there. I come home in the afternoon and they're still there. Idiots, orange road cones, exhaust fumes from a self-imposed parking lot. Already out of shape people sitting on their asses for hours, waiting, salivating, wasting, all for a donut. It's like a sheriff's convention gone horribly wrong.
Remember the lines in the former Soviet Union? The downtrodden stretching for blocks waiting for a sliver of food? Remember when you felt all warm and fuzzy about yourself when you gave some money to Comic Relief, picked up a copy of We Are The World, or sponsored some child in a third world nation? Remember the pained noise the scale made after you heaved yourself on? Suffering and obesity are rampant on this planet, and yet thousands of people are waiting in line...for donuts. Think about that the next time someone blows up one of our towers.
