Look Me In The Eyes

There is a commercial airing for a new, fun filled, ice-tastic version of Finding Nemo. That's right folks, the cartoon movie is now becoming a wierd, ice skating extravaganze. Now, personally I don't get the whole, turn every slightly popular kids movie/show into ice skating, Disney on Ice thing - but that isn't the purpose of this entry. What has prompted me to write is the costumes for this fish on skates story. You see, the skaters all wear fish costumes that primarily only cover their torsos, with their arms and legs sticking out in the appropriate color tights. This is probably the best arrangement, as in general you really only see fish moving around and not people in fish costumes, however they have seen fit to put giant pop eyes on all of the fish - right in the breast areas. So the skaters are gliding around the rink with big eyeball boobs and it is very distacting in my opinion. Just watching the commercial I feel almost rude staring at them. I mean, we are taught not to ogle such parts of people's anatomies, and yet also to always look people in the eye so this is quite a mixed message. Who new ice skating fish could present such a qaundary?
