There was a Green Line accident this morning at Boylston Street, two trains collided and folks went to the hospital and all. The Glob online is running a story complete with a humonjus picture of an injured rider being taken out on a backboard right past a station decoration of the MBTA's cartoon Charlie mascot grinning and giving the thumbs-up.

On the one hand the irony of this picture is morbidly amusing, but on the other hand my god, my object empathy (which I described a few years ago) is flaring up something fierce.

OMG thank you for coming up with an explanation of OBJECT EMPATHY , sweet jesus there's a name for it. I've got it bad especially when it comes to cute animals on packaging, for me it's worse when they're photographs.

So are you feeling ashamed for Cartoon Charlie?
