Need a reason to bang your head on your desk today? A reader has sent in a pic of this Strawberry Shortcake puzzle, wherein the beloved character has been designed to resemble Carrie Bradshaw.

Is the puzzle overtly sexual? No. But come the fuck on, people. Do we really need to model Strawberry Shortcake after Sex and the City? Is there no other cultural touchstone to base a product for elementary school girls on than Scary Sadshaws? Whatever happened to living in a cake made of strawberry? Yes, there are problems with the original, what with Strawberry Shortcake seeming to take much pleasure in sweeping her floors and doing her chores, but still, aren't there some things that are better left alone?
