Cognitive Dissonance: All for onesies, onesies for all
by awindram
My grip on British pop-culture is loosening. I did, however, notice that one of this year’s most commented TV shows on social media was 15-stone Babies, a documentary by Channel 4 that looked into the world of adults who retreat to, or fetishize, life as an infant; they sleep in mansize cribs, they dress in diapers, they have someone change their diaper, etc. On twitter and Facebook, people seemed enthralled and repulsed by the documentary. “What a load of freaks,” was a common refrain among people I follow on Facebook. Fast-forward two months and a quick look at Facebook reveals a surprising number of the same people posting pictures of themselves in the onesies they received for Christmas.
Cognitive dissonance indeed…
In 20 years’ time, they’ll be doing one of those nostalgia tv shows about 2012, “I *Heart* 2012″ or something like that, and they will feature onesies. We’ll all say “I can’t BELIEVE that people bought those.” Maybe not even 20 years’ time. Maybe 2 years’ time.
