Another peculiar moment here at catpaw central

Posted on | December 4, 2007 | Comments Off

There must be something in the air here in Toronto. No, I’m not talking about the cold, the snow, the wind we are having, I’m talking about something much less tangible. I can’t seem to travel along the subway without having ‘thoughts’. Oh get your mind out of the sewer! Not that kind of thoughts.

Everytime I use the Eglington Subway, this past month, I am greeted with a sign for one of those entertainment shows, highlighted with their  beaming, gleaming denture work. I can’t remember what the show is – they all look the same – but I always stop and stare at the female host. For the longest time I couldn’t put my finger on what it was about her that made me stop. On Saturday it hit me … I realized what, about her, made me shake my head -

She looks like a bobble head figure! Yes! That’s it. Her body is so skinny, it makes her head look too large. She is proportionally incorrect now.

That single connection has led to an entire cascade of related viewing difficulties. I’ve been examining all the posters for entertainment shows,  I see on the subway – you know, the dreck foisted off on us as life and death entertainment? All the dreadful “You too can be an anorexic catwalk tease” shows. And now …

… all I see are bobble head figures.

I can’t stop snickering at each promo. Each one of the women look as though their necks can’t support their enlarged heads. I keep waiting for the bobbly movement to start.

Now see if you can look at any of these shows without having the thought “Bobble Head” flash through your mind.

If I suffer, you suffer!
