oh.

Have we all seen Married to the Sea today?

Warning for: 9/11, politics, war. NOT FUNNY.

I haven't been so weirdly gutted by something since the "I'm Falling for You" Valentine's Day Twin Towers card which will probably enrage a bunch of you, but makes me cry and cry and cry.

I like that it's so upsetting. It gets the fucking message across that hey, international relations: WE'RE DOIN IT WRONG.

It is so upsetting. I can't even quite define why (I mean, beyond the obvious). I totally expect to get flamed to fuck for posting this one.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Er. I thought it was a little funny. But only because of the truth factor.

I remember the V-day thing though. That gutted me oddly too.

[rm.livejournal.com]

I'm totally down with it being not funny. I mean it's sort of funny because it's Canada I guess.

I love the V-day thing. I hope someone can find it for me.

Yay.

Man that still fucks me up.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Happy to be of service, as ever. ;-)

Have you, btw, surfaced? Or was your journaling yesterday merely a fit of procrastination before you vaporize again?

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

attempting to, anyway. we'll see how the treading water goes.

Oh COME ON, that V-Day card is hilarious!

...is it possible that a Gryffindor is more twisted than the SLYTHERINS??? Hey, look at that can of worms I just opened!

Did I ever show you guys the video of the inappropriate halloween costumes party? Sometimes, hipsters can be funny.

It was a valentine from 2004 or 2005 and I think Natalie Dee's taken it off her server (I just looked). You know she's half of Married to the Sea, right?

[rm.livejournal.com]

Oh I didn't know. I found a website that had it up as a tiled background, but there was egregious music involved and stuff, so I'll have to find and edit the image and put it up from home where I have no speakers.

[schpahky.livejournal.com]

It's Natalie and her husband Drew (who does Toothpaste for Dinner).

You could email her. She is pretty good about writing back though it might take a little while.

[don-negro.livejournal.com]

Funny? No.

Amazingly fucking poignant? Yes.

[affreca.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

I'd add that it's true.

[upstart-crow.livejournal.com]

Aww that card is... yeah. It got me a bit, too.

This is very off topic, but I thought this discussion might interest you if you haven't seen it yet:

I had heard about it but hadn't had the source link until now. I finally just wrote my response.

[timiathan.livejournal.com]

The funniest thing is, they left off a zero on that stat.

[6-bleen-7.livejournal.com]

I immediately thought the same thing. Eighty thousand is the official, and therefore most conservative possible, estimate.

Howdy—I stumbled upon your LJ via zarq. Thank you for linking to the Married to the Sea comic. It's a very powerful, and somewhat disturbing, analogy.
