Those ridiculous cartoon figures they use on the police boxes: NOT CUTE, funny and weird though.

That nauseating advert on the TV with that stupid, high pitched girl going 'everyday new face'! and dancing around to some dumb kids song: NOT CUTE just utterly bad, it makes me start retching.

Couple shirts: NOT CUTE.

Couple complete outfits. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Some of my little kindergarten kids: CUTE.

The little ones with snot pouring out of their faces: NOT CUTE.

I dont really like cute. I like young cute kiddies, little puppies and kittens and rabbits and stuff (without tie dye colour schemes of course) but most cute is just horrible.

That is not awful, it is disasterously evil. If I don't plug my ears when that commercial is on, I would end up doing one of two things:

1. That girl saying "everyday new face" would play through my mind for hours afterwards, making me doubt my sanity.

2. Throwing things at the tv and having #1 happen anyways.

Although, the cartoon girl at the end is a huge improvement over the "real" girl!!!
