Well, probably made in China, not Mexico...

Post on MeFi about the new Mexican Magic Realism Camera, from HP. Even has references to Achewood in the comments...

What a terrifyingly depressing world we live in, anyhow.

Wow, that's hella fucked up. How complicated a concept is "I want photos to reflect the way I actually looked when the picture was taken, even if that was super-fat?"

One time a guy handed me a picture of himself, and he said, "Here's a picture of me when I was younger." Every picture of you is of when you were younger. "Here's a picture of me when I am older." "You son of a bitch, how'd you do that? Let me see that camera."

Well, according to the animation the "slimming" slider can go either way, so you can go all The Klumps on your loved ones.

Interesting how the examples feature only women.

Don't worry, Inev will grow up to be one of those guys who suddenly balloons out in middle age and, after a lifetime of eating whatever he wants, is stunned at what the rest of us have always had to worry about.  And we will have our revenge.

no way. I will be slender and hottt forever. the fact that any weight I gain goes directly to my Stomach is not a sign of anything.

  Yes, mothers do tend to be paranoid of two things above else: that their child is cold or that their child is not getting enough to eat. I suspect it's a genetic hang over from the last ice age, when corpulent hyperthermia wasn't the major worry.

my grandfather sent away for the Charles Atlas weight-gain program back in the day.
my dad ate a loaf of bread a day, if you combined all his sandwiches, toast, etc.
however, I have a birdlike appetite. so, hopefully I will be more OK than they.
