I Haven't Laughed This Hard in a While


Ryan comforts himself with whipped cream, after
realizing he "missed a great opportunity."

CryingWhileEating.com. People cry for specified reasons while they eat. I read an article about at latimes.com.

Here's an excerpt:

"Yet the site's appeal is rooted in something deeper than the absurd; the effect of the clips is actually visceral. The scenes evoke the kind of unself-conscious, shame-free expressions of psychic pain that few have indulged since childhood. They capture people at their most vulnerable, taking childlike refuge in another primal experience: eating. Yet the food fails to comfort, creating a wacky incongruity. Put simply, it's at once funny and disturbing to watch someone sob uncontrollably, break for a mouthful of éclair and resume sobbing."

I laughed hard when I saw the "Ryan" clip. Mind you, I don't laugh easy.
