So there's a billboard in Everett that is always changing to various scary bouncing creepy babies. Each time I go there it makes me feel afraid in a new way.
Can you explain this one to me?
Because I don't get it at all. Especially since the version that I saw didn't mention the pro-life organization on it. (I wrote down the phone number and called when I got home.) I mean, I assumed so, because that's the sort of billboard that's always in that spot, but because of it's DNA message, I thought maybe they were saying the baby's daddy was dead and couldn't have had his eyes otherwise. Now I think maybe they're opposing stem cell research. Is that it? Am I supposed to start thinking that stem cells come from a baby farm? Am I supposed to think that there's a bunch of babies on this farm who are missing their daddy's eyes and now have the eyes of sheep?
I think I'm a little disappointed that when I called the 800 number it didn't turn out to be a special how-to phone message of making sure your baby had a specific eye color, compiled from old vocal recordings of Rutger Hauer. (Don't even think of making any Gattaca references.)
