We're ALL biologically wired to be protective of and drawn toward the round-headed, big eyed CUTE widdle babeh, bunneh, kitteh, you get the picture. #vanityfaironcuteness

I am the biggest girly-girl when it comes to cute animals, which people find humorous when they learn it. Mostly because I am a raging tomboy - I wear cargo pants and hoodies and I'm into science and math and shit, and here I am cooing over a kitten. #vanityfaironcuteness

It's kindof like the woman I encountered at the Humane Society who was terrified of guinea pigs. Just terrified. I have no idea why, but she saw the one I was holding and freaked out. It was so weird. #vanityfaironcuteness

Since he hates cute so much, maybe Mr. Grumpypants will appreciate this hairless bear. #vanityfaironcuteness

2. Not liking cute things is in no way the same as being the only person that realizes cute things are the Downfall Of Society by virtue of gayification and femmification and otherwise undermining our Natural National Manliness. The fact that you came to this conclusion does in fact make you a maniac, Mr. Windolf.
3. Oh em goodness that ridgeback + micropiglet link almost killed my cynicism. I need a warning before being exposed to that level of adorable. #vanityfaironcuteness

1) Hate LOLcats and when people talk like that in REAL LIFE.
2) Resent that Obama and his family are actually cute and seem like nice people. I'm a libertarian, people, there should be no awwwing over politicians. (Though I'm suprised the extent of the swooning on Jezebel hasn't killed my ability to recognize that they do seem nice/are pretty, etc.) #vanityfaironcuteness

Saying "aw" and making ridiculous sounds when you see a cat in a bonnet, or a dog in a dress, or stating that your ovaries exploded when you saw that photograph of the presidential baby niece is a normal part of our interaction within society. It's an intrinsic part of our way to express ourselves and affirm our presence in this world (I like this, I hate that), as well as an outlet to project our feelings on external things and of course, also a strategy of manipulation in order to gain approval or distract the public from other matters. Some people will like cute more than others, and will go on to like other things. Feeling that there's some sort of "cute overload" more than ever is mostly a perception enhanced by the media we have available now, but I don't think it says much about a society in general. #vanityfaironcuteness
