Why do we like to make supersized things?

LMAO The Big Banana XD

Dirty, dirty mind mister connor :-P

if your referring to tvs and things, its probably (in my theory anyway) because most males seem to think “bigger is better” i would think a lot of guys at the end of the day want to spend there hard earned money on the best and biggest thing thats available

The circumstantial evidence is certainly strong! Some women would certainly agree, but others prefer guys of hmmm, more modest construction and I’d say a good 50% of gay guys aren’t size queens. The ‘flaunt it’ mentality is certainly there tho. I went to the cremation of an army general in Bali, Indonesia, once - the body was carried on a wooden bull the size of an elephant, and the bull’s ‘equipment’ was outlandish. Many cultures celebrate and exaggerate symbols of masculinity. Phallic symbols like large clubs, swords and spears often accompany ancient sculptures/images of revered warriors. The modern displays of big stuff may well be the acceptable face of masculine declaration - and a symptom of our inability to accept the adequate, perhaps (and I could draw parallels to addiction here, but that’s off-topic).

hehe. Actually, the pagans celebrated the biggest trees, for the age and presumably phallic-ness - and the builders of sacred spaces certainly knew that such things attracted converts through awe and inspiration. Spires and towers impressed as much as skyscrapers do today. There’s definitely something in our psyche that links large things to our emotional chips.
