| Click on image to further upset the baby. |
This is rather how I feel today.
However, I must wonder—at what point in our human history was this image ever considered appealing or attractive? Why a crying baby? Not just a crying baby, mind you, but a yowling, distraught baby who is almost deformed by the sheer wretchedness of his wail.
Who thinks, “You know what our product needs to help it sell? A really, really upset baby. No cute babies with smiles on their faces for us! No, no. We want our babies to be extraordinarily disturbed.”?
Well, let’s see what you think. This seems like a good time for a caption contest. Since we don’t know what this was meant to advertise, I look to all of you clever folks. Answers in the comments section, please.

It's Jon Hamm after the Emmys. Cheer up Jon, it's an honor just being nominated.
It's an ad for pins. Sharp, pointy, baby-sticking, non-safety pins.
Very popular in the Nineteenth Century.
Future Botox users of America.
There were going to be a lot of lines around those eyes.
How did you ever get an image of me at 6:00 in the morning when my alarm goes off?
We have ways.
Someone took away his Libby's corned beef.
How dare they?
"Mama"Liza wailed, "I want to go to Sardi"s too! Don't want the munchkins to baby sit. They smell funny like your special lemonade . No not Gene's mother in law either. She pinches. Want to see Joey Bishop and Jack Paar. I want to party! Life is a cabaret!"
Hooray! This baby DOES look like Liza. And, frankly, I'm sure that's an actual conversation that a young Liza and Mama would have had! Right down to the part about Gene's mother-in-law!
Too funny!
I think so too.
She DOES pinch.
I'm sorry.
Looks like how I feel at work.
I understand.
Every kid near me on the subway.
Or airplane.
The love child of Louis Armstrong and Elsa Maxwell bemoaning the fact that almost nobody under 40 has a clue as to who the hell Louis Armstrong and Elsa Maxwell were.
Sadly true.
