Bunny-Luv

I've been remiss in updating the blog since my return to New York. Some readjustment was required, a little recuperation, and perhaps even a wee recalibration. And it's a slow news time obviously, what with only two or three major wars going on. So I've been wondering what odd piece of everyday life here would inspire me to get back in the saddle. I am not especially proud to report that the answer is below.

I finished a bag of carrots this evening and only when the bag was empty did I realise that I was eating 'Bunny-Luv' brand 'classic cut' baby carrots, promoted by one of the most highly sexualised cartoon rabbits since Jessica Rabbit herself. And I pondered for a moment the underlying structures that finally give rise to the humble carrot being packaged and promoted in such a way. And in one moment I realised - America is Bunny-Luv, and Bunny-Luv is America.



It's good to be back.
