Less zillafication, please.

I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling abused and over-zillafied.

You see that? Pregzilla? Aw c’mon… I saw this tee at a baby show on the weekend (that’s another story…) and I just can’t escape it. In fact, it’s the catalyst for this whole post. Let’s have a look at some other zillas, shall we? |
| Bitchzilla. Somehow this one doesn’t surprise me. No reaction. Zilch. Okay, maybe a little [sigh]. (Don’t worry, I’m not giving up the good fight.) |  |
 |
Broadzilla. Sure, it’s a band, but I bet a billion bucks that they got that line from Elias Koteas in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. I thought it was clever then too… |
| Halfbridezilla. I love this one – it really drives home the illusion of choice and how limiting it truly is these days. |  |
 |
Maidzilla. Hmmmm…. I don’t get this one but somehow it still succeeds at making me feel bad. |
| Momzilla, the obvious evolution of pregzilla. I’m going to let the Telegraph present this one with, "March of the Momzillas". |  |
Oh and let’s not forget: promzilla, shoezilla, shopzilla, craftzilla, slutzilla, gardenzilla and my absolute personal FAV: boobzilla: a woman who uses her breasts to gain or hold attention because of being otherwise deficient. YES!
Some experimental zillas I’m hoping will catch on: virginzilla, vajuniorzilla, feminazizilla, shegetzilla…
