The first I saw in a store circular advertising toys for Christmas. Granted, they have been around for years but this was the first time I really noticed Cabbage Patch Preemie dolls. A preemie doll. What. The. FUCK? Preemies aren't joyful or fun to play with. They are tiny and scary and serious. Heartstoppingly serious. Who thought that a preemie would make a good toy? Does it come with its own tiny apnea monitor and incubator?
Second thing making me sick right now is Grey's Anatomy. The interns and residents are salivating over a room full of corpses. They are fighting over them like wild dogs with a fresh kill. I know it's just a show. I also know that real doctors have to distance themselves from the humanity of it all but my God, those dead bodies were people. They were someone's baby. Once upon a time, somebody somewhere loved them. The physical form left behind might be a mere shell of the spirit it once held but that doesn't mean respect shouldn't be shown. Whether the body is there b/c the person chose before his/her death to donate themselves to science or because they were unloved or unclaimed, respect is deserved. I hate this damn show. Most weeks, I end up so mad. Why do I watch it?
