I am SO damn crazed I cannot spell.

"Diatribe," not "diabtribe." And in one place, "think," not "thing."

See what it's done to me?

I see I am not alone. When this thing popped up yesterday I sat right down and typed out a blistering diabtribe, my sensibilities were so offended. Normally I don't react that way to inanimate objects but I don't thing this thing IS inanimate. I figured I had maybe overreacted, but no.

Simply: It is hideous. HIDEOUS. It's a fat white worm - excuse me, "Pebble" worm - just laying there waiting to slime up on somebody. No, no - it looks like something out of an old Vincent Price movie that's fixing to rear up on its hind segments and lamprey the hell out of some unsuspecting book-reader who's sitting next to the lamp. I hate it. I am wasting my energy hating a piece of rich, crisp dupioni silk. I am crazed.

I feel better.

What makes this product especially Bizarro world-compatible (and thus boj-compatible) is it even draws MORE attention to what it is proclaiming to cover up!

That's got to be the ugliest thing I've seen this year.
