Heh. Done.
Life’s Little Victory of the Day: Sainsbury’s announced today that it was bowing to social network pressure, and renaming its tiger bread “giraffe bread” per Lily Robinson’s suggestion.
The three-year-old wrote the supermarket chain last year to ask why tiger bread is called tiger bread, suggesting it be renamed “giraffe bread” to better match its appearance.
Customer service manager Chris King wrote Lily back to explain that the bread was named by a baker long ago who “thought it looked stripey like a tiger.” However, King sided with Lily, calling her renaming idea “brilliant.”
After thousands of social network users hopped aboard the Giraffe Bread Express, the company caved and decided to move forward with the name change.
“In response to overwhelming customer feedback that our tiger bread has more resemblance to a giraffe, from today we will be changing our tiger bread to giraffe bread and seeing how that goes,” said Sainsbury’s in a statement.
Congrats everybody. We did it.

Philip Glass turns 75 tomorrow. Impossible, you say? Given his two dozen operas, reams of orchestral music, virtually uncountable film scores and scads of projects in every discipline, isn’t he like 90 or 100 or 110? Or, judging by his kaleidoscopic connections and collaborators, isn’t he somewhere between 20 and 50, hunkered down among hipsters and plotting his next move toward musical world domination?

Plus there was that one time he was technically Kara Thrace’s dad.
