A Life Without Taste

Having already targeted Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, and Diana, the late Princess of Wales, Germaine Greer has now set her sights on……cuddly toys.

Teddies and bunnies are taken into exams and sat on the desks, as if to be without them for three hours would induce hysteria and fainting spells. Soft toys are left along with the flowers at the scenes of fatalities. Wherever they are, they are truly hideous, beyond kitsch. By making our children fall in love with such ugliness, we are preparing them for a life without taste.

Given Greer’s penchant for making tasteless comments, I am assuming she was up to her (hairy) armpits in teddy bears as a child.

    I suspect she is resorting to attacking teddy bears because they don’t fight back.
