I came across an article today about peeps --you know, the sugar-coated marshmallows puff balls that are always in your easter basket and then become stale the second you open the package... Well it seems as though its a marketing and sales phenomenon that is way over my head.
I guess once the little sugar-buggers become stale, there is little else to do with them than make art, and some people have take that to the extreme from creating a peeps wedding to a million peep walk on washington. Its unbelievable. I also came across a "reaseach" site that looks at what occurs to peeps if the are under duress, etc. Its pretty ridiculous the time people have.

I, for one, do really like my peeps, but never thought to integrate them into my art or general daily --but now... i'll think about it!
Happy Easter!

I don't know which is sadder.. that I had these bookmarked or that I knew that they were online.
I just it all comes back down to procrastination in college.
