This made me really sad. Especially because the ad I saw said “now YOU can have your own Edward”. Ew.
What has the world come to? Why can’t we just keep our fantasies in our head and create them for free? Rather than letting someone else create our fantasies for us and insert our names in it? It’s like being sold a used condom or something.

It’s that kind of traffic where you are going exactly 5 km below the speed limit like everyone around you and you know it’s because some slow ass set of cars is boxing the rest of us in, with a clear stretch of highway ahead of them.
