Enlarged photo.

This photograph appeared in the ‘Shot of the week’ section of The Week. The caption of the photo says: clean and fresh. Phew! A kid inside a washing machine. The person who clicked the photograph, in this case the mother probably, deserves to be called an idiot and the tabloid senseless in printing the photo. How could you make your kid pose inside a washing machine? What kind of joke is that? Or should be assume some kind of creativity is involved?

With the kind of cut-throat competition among mothers in today’s world, I won’t be surprised if a few make their kids stand inside a refrigerator, on top of split A/C…all for the sake of a photo which could make it to the ‘Shot of the week’ section. You never know. It’s a mad, mad world out there.
