His cruelty knew no bounds. And so, he sunbathed and the plant withered.

Can I just say that I detest this stupid, pretentious blog?  And that this poster’s captions are completely whack on every level?  Let’s dissect:  The implication here is that said man in open-toed shoes is a sad representation of suburban consumerism whose humanity is dying inside.  Congratulations!  You have the world-view of 15 year old!  Guess what:  You’re what people outgrow!

Here’s the truth:  This is an awesome modern house, like many of the other awesome modern houses in Dwell Magazine that you hate so much (but secretly pine for).  The guy pictured- the one you’re getting your 23 year-old skinny jeans in a bunch over- probably worked very hard for this  house.  In an actual job where, unlike you,  he’s  contributing something to the world.   And after years of hard work, he’s rewarded himself and his family with a stylish, safe, comfortable place to live.  Oh, but I guess that’s too soul-killing for you, “graphic designer who works half-days then hangs out at Intelligentsia” guy.  I suppose it’s way nobler to live in an Echo Park bungalow with 3 of your “band mates” (not that I have a problem with Echo Park- it’s just that YOU live there for the wrongest of reasons). 

Here’s the sad news, Horn Rims:  Dude in picture is WAY HAPPIER than you are right now (though I could live w/o the open-toed shoes). 

Hey, here’s a thought: Go live a life and THEN come back to me, smuggo.
