Peep Show



Oh the unwholesome humanity! What, in heavens name, would drive such delightful marshmallow treats to engage in such degrading acts of depravity?

Christ with a candy cane!


Just look at them. The innocence I knew is gone from their beady polka-dot eyes. Only the cold, damaged gaze of whipped and fluffed artificial sweetener remains.

It is hard to not see our own reality reflected in this image. No?

The peer pressure of people like Gov. Spitzer has rubbed off on our most pleasant of puffed Easter treats, the Peeps!

Lest you think that I might have, in some way, doctored or manipulated this imagery to point out the obvious irony associated with our collective moral decline - I will have you know that this photo was forwarded to me by my own Mother, a woman of the utmost of integrity. A woman from America's heartland, who is no doubt as confused as she is disturbed by this image of abhorrent behavior by our favorite Easter treat.

So you can wipe that slimy, sugar crusted smile from your smug face right now.
