This week's winning entry makes me cringe a little bit. It is a blog entry from the craft site Lovelyish and once viewed, it can't be unseen.
Someone posted a tutorial for knitting tampons. I am going to let that sink in. Someone not only went through the process of knitting their own tampons, which I am sure took some time to do, but they are advocating other people do the same for environmental reasons.
Now let's not even think about the sanitary issues of knitting something like this which is specifically designed to be washed and reused. No, the thing that I immediately thought of was how itchy wool was when it was in contact with your bare skin. I cannot imagine how uncomfortable the above items would be inserted into one of the nerve rich areas of the human body.
Finding an appropriate image this week was a little more difficult than it usually is, but somehow I found a cross stitch of Homer Simpson that someone was selling on Ebay at some point and because that is in the vaguest way related to the winning entry, I ran with it.
Congrats to whoever discovered this and blogged about it at Lovelyish, and many thanks to Maven for referring it to me.
The rules of this little contest: Every week I will be selecting one blog post that I have seen from the vast reaches of the blogging village to bestow with the Homer Simpson Transmundanity Award for being one of the freakiest(in a funny way) things I've seen or read during a 7 day period. It doesn't necessarily have to have been written during the week, I just had to have encountered it. That means that if you find something interesting and repost it like a movie or whatever, if I saw it at your blog first, you get the prize. Of course, creating your own content is also a very good way to win.
Now, if you see a post that you think is worthy of this illustrious prize, just drop me a line at campybeaver@gmail.com and we'll see if we can't get your suggestion up and award-ready while giving you some credit and a link to your own blog.
