Japanese confuse sheep for poodles
I'd vaguely heard of this but it only really caught my attention when a friend sent me the link above. I really don't know what to say. Somehow excusing it on the grounds of "not being familiar with sheep" doesn't quite cut it. They have dogs over there, no? The article points towards the trend of people buying pets as accessories which is exactly what this is. Very sad. I guess the upshot is that if they got tired of the novelty of their "poodle" they could just have it for dinner. Rack of lamb, anyone? Specialists are people who know more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing. Generalists are people who know less and less about more and more until they know nothing about everything. I'm somewhere in the middle. |
