I just saw a banner ad that at first made me say “yuck”, but then it made me think. It was an ad for tripod’s webpages – it said “Build your baby’s journal now” or something like that.<\/p>\n

Of course, we’ve all seen LJ’s for babies, dogs, cats, and various fictional characters.<\/p>\n

Why does it have to be the “baby’s journal”? If I see another journal written in the POV of an infant (or cat, for that matter) I think I’ll gag. (“Meowmy says I can’t eat the plant – but why??” – <insert puking noises here>)<\/p>\n
