seriously weirds me out

what is up with chinese young women liking winnie the pooh? and singaporean girls of the same age liking tweety bird? i’m talking about the 18-22 age group. this is a solid trend i’ve noticed, not just coincidences. last summer part of one of my summer jobs was adding thousands of people as myspace friends for a few ‘profiles’, and it seems like if you’re a chinese or singaporean female between 18 and 22, there’s a very strong probability you have winnie the pooh or tweety bird (respectively) pictures all over your myspace, and potentially own clothing or other real-life objects with these things on them that you display in your profile picture.

it disgusts me – not only are these things really meant only for small children, they’re horribly saccharine. it goes further than just a myspace correllation – one of my roommates has winnie the pooh dishes, shoes, and probably more. she’s 23. a girl at my school has a tweety bird jacket that she wears regularly. neither of these people are intelligent or assertive enough to be wearing these things ‘ironically’. THEN WHY?

GROSS!!!
