“that has upset the balance of the Universe.

When Binney & Flynn (Crayola Crayon) monkeyed with the original 64 box of Crayola Crayons, the Universe had a major shift. Ever since, things haven't been quite the same...global warming began, Dolphins and whales began beaching themselves, Space shuttle accidents...increased levels of road rage...gas production decreases...I could go on and on. I have studied the socioeconimic situation for years, and my conclusions are irrefutable and my analysis has stood firm against numerous tests. It is conclusive...The human species is doomed, and it all stems from the messin with the steeenkin original colors of the 64 box of Crayola Crayons. Ban Binney & Flynn. they are out to destroy humanity.”

Justina Hecker's artwork submission to Crayola's Dream-Makers exhibition turned into a nightmare for the 9-year-old and her family.

Earlier this month the Heckers received a letter saying the third-grader's picture was chosen from thousands of entries to be on display at the State Theatre Center for the Arts.

“Do they still make Opie White?”

“wow, that mom isn't dramatic or anything, is she? LOL!”

“...hhmmmm, she's seems to be trivializing a bit...”

“just think, if the kids name had been Sienna, she would have been "Burnt Sienna"



ba-dum-dum”

“Shattered her life?

Well it does seem over the top, but things that seem trivial to adults are monumental to kids.”

“"It just about makes me bawl now, thinking about it," she said, adding that her daughter is cynical about entering other drawing competitions."

No need to worry. Apparently your kid wouldn't win anyways!”

“My wife pulled my daughter out of her class in school early today so we could all go see my son's kindergarten graduation as a family. My daughter was very upset because she missed the end of the movie her class was watching.

I guess it's time to file suit against my wife, sigh...”
