Romantic that I am, I hoped for a happier ending (I also hoped that the asterisk after "Cardboard Brian" would lead to: *Not his real name). The comments are pretty funny as well, not that I understood all of them. A great piece.

Reminds me of the "b-sharps" episode of the simpsons, when marge makes a surrogate homer, but the tape speeds up, the head falls off, and the latex glove hand flies over and grabs bart by the face. And damn, Lisa is an awesome kinda crazy. I love stuff like this. Detached, willful sojourns into madness. Damn “flat daddies” is sad and weird.

How is it sad and weird to make sure that your children will remember you when you come back from a year in the Middle East? It's a remarkable program that does a lot of good for the children and the piece of mind of parents who can't physically be there for their kids. I'm hoping you just accidentally phrased your statement poorly. “Damn “flat daddies” is sad and weird.”
