In a total 180 from my last post, I got an evite for a birthday party with this graphic attached. This has sparked some debate: if we assume that the blue thing is a bear, what exactly is the ugly pink thing?

With entirely too much time on my hands, I’ve made some initial observations:
1. The pink thing has no ears, unlike the blue thing (allegedly a bear).
2. It is comparable in size to the blue thing.
3. It is harelipped, similar to the blue thing.
4. It has 3 toes on each foot, though the birthday cake blocks our view of the other foot on each creature, so this is inconclusive. At this point we’re assuming they’re not each missing one leg, with the cake so placed for modesty’s sake.

So it shares many traits with the alleged bear, but no ears. The outcome of this debate carries some urgency: one of the two birthday girls has equated herself to the ugly pink thing, and questions of self-identity have arisen. “What AM I??” she cries. YOU decide!
