Sweet Idiocy

1. I prefer muffins.

2. Someone has to tell this idiot about Cronuts.
   His head would probably explode.
   Then again, no great loss…

3. Maybe if this clown wasn’t so fabulous in the first place there would be room in his heart for a cupcake or two.. Self loathing are people who ride bikes and eat tofu.. Self indulgent are people who eat cupcakes..
   Pretending otherwise is just more sour grapes from the bike lane..

4. Yes, people. Beware the evil cupcake because there’s nothing else more pressing to deal with in this world. Besides, Halloween is coming up. Let’s not gloss over the pagan horrors of pumpkin pie. What a doofus.

5. “Butter-iced snares of self-loathing”
   This is what passes for cleverness among the Smart Set these days. This is little Matt Seaton whoring out his $200,000 university education in English Lit selling papers for The Guardian so he can keep the heat on in his ever-so-clever hipster pad in fashionable Wherever. Don’t know where he lives but I bet its by Ghod -FASHIONABLE-.
   You know, if these little @$$h0les would turn their attention to doing something useful with the same vigor they spend on useless pearl-clutching and perpetual aggrievement, we would have hydrogen fusion reactors generating electricity everywhere by now.

6. I knew not to trust them! Cupcake conspiracy, oppression. Paid to write. People who pay to read that attain a higher level of stupidity with each article.

7. And her I thought cupcakes were just . . . cupcakes. Never thought much about them except I never envisioned there would be a bakery that sold only cupcakes. When I last walked by it (the location was the S. end of Denman street in Vancouver) and it was quite packed with both cupcake varieties and customers. Being more of a muffin guy myself, I just looked at the plethora of cupcake species through the window. My primary thought then was regarding how large a city has to be before a highly specialized store like this could exist and prosper.
   Didn’t realize I should have been thinking about the oppressive side of cupcakes and the self-loathing that they create.

8. Oops, figured out Captcha too quickly — First line should read “And here I thought cupcakes were just”
   OTOH, I’m sure that one could read all sorts of symbolism in the Freudian slip of my leaving out that “e” given the female love/hate relationship with cupcakes that we’ve just been informed of.

9. Matt Seaton ….. should stick to what he puts in his own self gratification hole.

10. Is the Guardian even capable of writing anything at all sensible any more?

11. Symptom of the market they target, cgh. Market segment for the Guardian appears to be twenty-something hipster dweebs with English degrees and too much time on their hands. Sensible doesn’t sell to that crowd unless it’s got twenty layers of ironic pasted on.

12. Just another man who thinks he knows or understands women and is just plain WRONG!

13. “But I also get that I’m not their target market. Cupcakes seem designed to appeal, in the main, to young women.”
    ?????!!!
    Oh well, this comes from the same crowd that gets mad a cheeseburger.

    Seriously, what would life look like if they got a hold of it? North Korea? Hoxha’s Albania. Pol Pot’s Cambodia?

    Good one, Phantom. In short, no one who does anything remotely useful.
