When I graduated from business school, I of course got the photos from the official photographer of me walking up to the podium in my mortarboard and of me shaking hands with some muckety-muck. I mean, the hired photog gets all the best angles, so there’s no fighting it. Some things, however, there should be fighting. Some things are so awful, so in bad taste, that they threaten to infect an entire room with their evil. And the official photographer is trying to pitch just such a thing. I give you the lucite statue that could be me:

I will see this horror in my dreams. In my dreams, folks. And please, let me ask you all, my readers, not to get lucite busts of yourselves made. It’s just, you know, in bad taste. Egads.
Please get one. Please, oh, please get one. I would pay a pretty little penny each time I came to your house just for the laugh and I bet others would ante up as well. Your new business plan, perhaps?
By the way: who is the poor girl who allowed her picture to be used in the promo and what the heck did she get in return? More than a free 3×5, I hope.
By the other way: this would be pretty sweet if you could put whatever picture you wanted on the bust. Junior or Jake in a Lucite cap and gown would be just right.
