We’ve been looking for a larger house for a while now so while I was walking to the park with my daughter today I was really excited to see a beautiful old house for sale. It’s only a couple blocks from our place now, well made (over 100 years old) GORGEOUS!! So, when we are [...]
This kids is so damn lucky. My parents used to ground me for a month every time I got caught with cigarettes. Some parent are just sooo freakin cool!! Just think of the money they’ll save when he dies at age 10.
More strange news from Asia – This reminds me of the time I was visiting my Aunt and Uncle in Massachusetts. We bought some lobsters, named them and played with them on the kitchen floor before we boiled them and ate them. Strange.
Hippopotamus on menu at Beijing Zoo
“Visitors to Beijing zoo are warned not to feed the animals, but they are encouraged to eat them at a restaurant that offers crocodile and scorpion on its exotic menu.
After watching the beasts in their cages, diners at the zoo’s restaurant can gnaw on the webbed toes of a hippopotamus, chew a kangaroo tail, nibble a deer’s penis or slurp down a bowl of ant soup.
The sale of the dishes has caused outrage since it was reported by the Legal Daily newspaper earlier this week, with conservationists condemning the practice.
“It is utterly inappropriate for a zoo to sell such items,” said Ge Rui of the International Fund for Animal Welfare. “One of the zoo’s missions is to foster love of animals and a desire to protect them. But by selling the meat of caged beasts, this zoo stimulates consumption and increases pressure on the animals in the wild. It is socially irresponsible.”" (Read More)
Yes that story with the kid and 40 was all over the newspapers here in Norway too.

I saw that story about the 2 year old SMOKING yesterday and refused to watch the video, unfortunately, The Early show had it on this morning and I watched in absolute HORROR. It was so sad. That little fat baby smoked a cigarette better than I can – puff after puff. I’m sure that’s all he does is sit there and smoke cigarettes ALL DAY – 2 packs a day. No wonder he screams when you don’t give him one. Isn’t there a child protective services in Indonesia? I guess I know the answer to that!

The video has been taken down. I’m not usually in favor of imprisonment for stupidity but these parents deserve to have their kid removed from the house and they should go to jail.

Hey, didn’t you have some pictures for my blog?
sheila
Morten – yeah, it’s everywhere. I think people just can’t believe a parent would do that to a kid
Harriet – Pizza Hut is definitely worse
Momma Drama – It was like a car accident – you just had to look at the stupidity
Glenna -You wonder at the stupidity
Jen – Every adult who is sitting around watching and laughing needs to go to jail. Just Stupid and Ignorant.

Poor kid! His parents are completely out of their minds. It looks like they are using this little boy!

Even disregarding all of the health aspects, what kind of parent gives a baby something that is burning? I wonder about the thinking that motivated it.
As far as the zoo is concerned, your adorable hippo photo just made it that much more horrifying.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??? A two year old SMOKING CIGARETTES? Why aren’t the parents in jail? Why hasn’t that child been taken away from them. I am absolutely HORRIFIED.
At least my mom waited till I was 15 to give me cigarettes. Yep. Actually got a carton in the ol’ Christmas stocking. My mom… what a gal. Can’t be too hard on her though. This was before there ever even was a surgeon general.
The fat smoking kid doesn’t bother me nearly as much as the zoo story…

When I first saw that video I was hoping that the kid was actually 40 and that smoking stunted his growth. Because that would actually be ironic on some level.
I can’t help but think that the parents are looking to make a buck on the media buzz. Life is cheap in many parts of the world as are standards in parenting.
