Signs of the Apocalypse, Now

cool modern version movie art poster

i was calmly and curiously researching the bon iver concert schedule for this summer on npr website, and i hear a little chime informing me of a text i just received.

i heart justin vernon. 
you may want to give this a listen to put you in a relaxed mood to prep you for the following shitstorm: 

let me transcribe the texting exchange pour vous:

the boy-
"was reading in the paper today that some idiot lady got arrested for injecting botox into her 8 year old daughter for a pageant... fucking crazy!!!"

for the love of godzilla, what the fuck are people thinking here???
OR
i'm not sure who i want to punch first- the mom or the kid

FROM THAT SHIT-HEAP TO THIS ONE:

yeah, that's fair

moi-
 "and last night's 6pm news showed some quack giving it to girls for prom night. 
what the fucking fuck?!? makes me mad like the hulk."

 bruce and i suffer from the same anger management issues

the boy-
 "it's nuts."

yes, indeed it is nuts, to say the least. 
"beauty" pageants are such an archaic/insulting idea on so many levels. 
why do they exist? 
there have to be other ways to get a car or a scholarship. like getting a job, and having brains. 
but what do i know? 
and when was the idea of botox EVER a good idea? 
hmmmm... botulism? okay, give me a triple of that crippl'in stuff!
now- for the kids!  

THE HORROR... THE HORROR
