I, according to some of my co-workers, have not matured to that level–and yet these people keep asking me for my opinion.

YAY! Don’t mature. I adore painful honesty. But people have actually stopped asking for my opinion…

Yep, the Mom has a definite, “Oh hee hee, I keep telling her not to do this sort of thing isn’t it cute ha ha ha” look on her face, while she secretly plans to slip the kid a fiver as soon as the guy’s out of sight.

Ann A.–I thought about it…but you actually put it into words. You know I won’t be able to drink tea for the next four weeks.

Shuzluva–I’ve seen entire families wearing Crocs and it made me wonder why the fashion police didn’t swarm them. And Crocs are wrong at any age. Do you want your child to be ridiculed in pre-school and scarred for life? Kids are brutally honest until they mature and learn that society prefers polite falsehoods to the truth. I, according to some of my co-workers, have not matured to that level–and yet these people keep asking me for my opinion.

Awkwaaaaard!
I get a case of nervous laughter just looking at that thing.

“Haaa….ha-heh. Little Katie’s low self esteem and paternal abandonment issues will one day land her a verbally abusive older ‘boyfriend’ with untamed back hair and a case of the clap. Haaa. Isn’t she just adorable? Haaa-aaa…hmm.”

Yay, Bam! Even though my brain will be forever scarred with the memory of this disturbing cover, and even though my eyes have been soiled by the phrase “teabagging her arm,” I’m so happy you’re doing cover snark again. )

I like your interpretation better than the obvious pedophilia I see in that picture. Ew.

Terry’s favorite chenille robe ? Fernando, you swine! The second or third favourite may, may have been forgivable, but his very favourite? How very dare you!

Also, maybe it’s just my laptop’s screen, but to me it looks the child on the cover was a boy in the original, and then they decided to make him a girl so put extra hair in, but couldn’t quit match the colour.

Her hair is pastede on yay?

Oh, I’ve missed your cover snark (in both fake blurb or out and out wtf-ing forms), Bam.

That chick is smiling so hard it looks like her face is about to crack. Please, watch my kid for an hour before I end up in jail!

Ann B., I’ll have you know that Crocs are adorable on children under the age of 5. Beyond 5…major fashion faux pas.

I looove this cover. The guy looks like he’s trying to mask deep, soul-killing discomfort with banal laughter, and the woman looks like she’s thinking, ‘Maybe this one will ask me for a date! My first date in six years! Oh, God, please let him be the one!’
