Vil, where's your

Code:

baby cannon picture?

As horrible as it is and everything, I also can't help but laugh my arse off.

ROFLMAO

[Cauton]

Yeah, that cracks me up. Hilariously funny and sad at the same time.

[Hidoshi]

Unlike some, I suppose I find no humour in that. That's downright one of the ugliest things I've ever heard of.

[TurnBasedDude]

My friend showed me this article last night, and I just find it nuts so I am on Hidoshi's side mostly. This world can get real screwy.

[Ramza]

yeah I'm with Hidoshi too.

Having done social work, trying to help kids whose parents do stupid sh*t like that all the time, it really just makes me sick. Please remember that *that* infant will grow up, and probably have one of the worst childhoods one can possibly imagine.

You'll also note the article says *FOUR OTHER CHILDREN* were taken from the home and placed in Erie Children and Youth Services. There's four more lives that get to be raised by the state. I'm not sure which is more unpleasant...though based on that pic of the mom, they may be SLIGHTLY better off in the system.

Okay, I'd expect to hear something like this out of, say, a review of a Robot Chicken episode.

This is just disturbing.

[Superflat]

This is just disturbing.

Disturbing? More like completely fucked up. It's things like this that make possible impending nuclear holocaust seem like chocolate cake. Really, really bad chocolate cake, mind you, but chocolate cake none the less.

I fail to see how one person using a baby as a weapon is somehow worse than what you've described. Nevertheless, things won't be pleasent if things like this become more frequent.

This is why some people should be forced to have a license to breed. -_-

If only the screening process wouldn't be completely invasive and insensitive to the rest of the population...

yeah, it'd be nice if we could stop certain people from having that basic human right, since they seem so inclined to f*ck up even the tiniest bit of responsibility...or rather, common sense...human dignity...all that good stuff.

I'm still bummed about this news story.

Same as other people, I find zero humor in this. At least she's getting the type of expected federal punishment.

Seriously, I wonder what in God's name she was thinking...
