I don't know what it is, but whenever I see a video that gives life to normally inanimate objects (be they toys or shopping carts) I feel a great unease that all the junk that I have ever tossed away in the garbage bin are somehow suffering in a dump somewhere, horrified and depressed that I no longer love them.
To be honest, it kind of makes me feel like a murderer.
And yeah, the video for Break It To You Gently by Camera Obscura (off their album Desire Lines) does bring up those feelings, but at least there's a somewhat better outcome for the soul-inflicted shopping cart that stars in the video than the one that I tossed away a few years ago after I found mouse poop in it.
But of course, now that I know shopping carts have feelings, I'm probably going to be spending my entire day in a state of panic that I threw away a perfectly useful item that could have given me years of continued service had I not been so afraid of catching the Hantavirus.
