I don't think you're going to remember that particular image in a week.
The same can be said about any random piece of human created art.
I think your generation's the first to be totally pink for this sort of thing and I'm worried for ya
I'm gutted that you can't tell the difference. Or that you don't care to. It's sad you think this toy is an idol.
It's an infinite crap generator, which I can see why people are so enamored with it. Because people seem to want a seeming variety of generic junk almost instinctually. Just take a look at the variety of garbage available on all streaming platforms right now, the variety of garbage on YouTube, or even worse a single aisle in any grocery store: shelves full of crap that's often the same thing with different labels, substances that are utter shit on almost a molecular level but seem appealing or better than others based upon packaging.
Edit: Amazon is nearly a perfection of the instant, endless crap business model. Just imagine when someone hooks up one of these things to a 3d printer. You can then have infinite crap generated entirely based upon your search queries. Now if you'll excuse me I have a patent application to file....
