Someone out there really, really likes potatoes

And not to eat. This is the new definition of absurd.

“I see commonalities between humans and potatoes that speak to our relationship as individuals within a collective species. Generally, the life of a harvested potato is violent and taken for granted. I use the potato as a proxy for the ontological study of the human experience,” Abosch told the Irish Times.

What a load.
