In the meantime, someone tell me something...hmm...surreal.
Somebody tell me something sexy!

Back in the '60's, Malvina Reynolds had a song that was something of a hit, called Little Boxes. It was about suburban conformity, just as you've described. Some things haven't changed, apparently.
Little boxes on the hilside, little boxes made of ticky tacky, little boxes, little boxes, little boxes all the same.
