I've been glued to AMC since yesterday morning because of the Walking Dead marathon, and every other goddam commercial has been either from Heifer.org or the ASPCA, which means I have been bombarded with sadness, despair, horror and woe for almost 36 hours now...and here's the thing...it has reached the point where every time I hear Susan Sarandon or Sarah McLachlan or whoever talk about something terrible happening every five seconds or whatever...this picture is all I can see.
