Daily bunny no.2463 is always listening
A bunny is the main character in Francis Fort Coppola's drama film "The Conversation". He is a private investigator who specializes in bugging and wiretapping. He is listening to a recording for a client, in a room full of audio equipment. He is worried by what he hears in the recording

I'm still struggling to find the new social media balance in my life. That said, as Twitter is increasingly nearing the Event Horizon, many people are advertising their presence over here, so I guess I'm mass-following whoever was detected by the 'Sky Follower Bridge' extension lol

“Is it any wonder the prisons are full?”

This is a real Dakin toy company ad from Victoria magazine, April 1991

Some toy ads go hard, but this one basically implies, “Our competitors’ products turn children into criminals”
Is it any wonder the prisons are full? In the mid 1950's, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania began conducting what has become a landmark study. Its purpose: to determine the effect violent toys have on our children. What they found was rather disturbing. The researchers stated that violent toys cause children to become more violent. At Dakin, we've always tried to produce toys that teach children some other things. Toys that, rather than teach a child how to maim, would teach a child how to love. That, rather than teach a child how © 1991 DAKIN, Inc. Available at fine gift and toy shops everywhere. to hurt, would teach a child how to care for something. Toys that, rather than being designed to be played with in only one way, would challenge the childs imagination to use them in a variety of ways. You see, as parents ourselves, we at Dakin don't design toys solely on the basis of whether or not they'll make money. We design them on the basis of whether we'd want our children
