Baby smokes 40 cigs a day...

[pooryou]

It's easy to control what a two year old does so the parents are obviously doing this on purpose.

Two year olds are going to throw tantrums anyway so that is hardly an excuse for anything.

I say arrest the parents and put the kid somewhere he will be taken care of properly.

kid should get a job. haha

jk, this is terrible.

 

[RawBert]

blood thirsty

Damn right!

 

[citizenzen]

...as a privileged (and blood thirsty) Westerner you probably can't understand that.

Damn right!

Most people wouldn't see that as a compliment.

I ain't most peeplz.

I cannot understand how anyone could find this even remotely funny. Pathetic? Sure. Infuriating? Yup. Funny? Not by a long shot. These "parents" need the child taken away from them, and they need to be put in jail.

There's gnarly stuff going on all over Indonesia and you're getting your panties in a bundle over one smoking baby?

Over ONE smoking baby?!? How many are their?!? Of course it is a big deal. Its child neglect at the least if not abuse!!!

 

[derekamoss]

Do the parents know how unhealthy it is for a two year old to be that over weight?

That's what you take from this story??? How unhealthy it is for him to be over weight?? HAHA Jk

Then go do something about it if you're so upset.

 

[derekamoss]

The fact that you are not upset about it is the problem with some people... Show's how little people actually care about life...

 

[DoFoT9]

thats kind of scary!

As compared to the people on this board getting their panties in a wad over iPad cases? Yes, I happen to think the health of an innocent child is important. And yes, I think this is clearly a case of child abuse. But what I was getting my "panties in a wad" over was the insensitive jerk who thought that a case of child abuse was "funny". Oh, gee, was that you?

Sad as it is, that video is kind of funny.

There's also this one, which, who knows if real?

baby tries to smoke

And don't cigarettes usually make you thin, not fat?

"This video is no longer available"

Well THANK YOU, NBC! You could have told me that before I had to sit through an ad for Off! mosquito repellant!

 

[ihaveNFC]

"This video is no longer available"

Found it here.

EDIT: Very weird, now it's "unavailable" too.

 

[Antares]

The video has been pulled of Youtube, too.

 

[MacBoobsPro]

I had a 'frash' so gave up. Thats a crash caused by Flash but I'm sure everybody knew that?

 

[iBlue]

^ The video worked for me. *shrug*

That really is demented. Who the hell even thinks to give a baby cigarettes?

 

[MrCheeto]

Poverty humor?

You know, like how rednecks have those stupid ass t-shirts that say things like, "I've got the body of a god, sadly it's buddha," and Dale Earnhart jackets.

They blow cigarette smoke in their dog's ears to watch them writhe and even give them beer and spook them. As well, in my time in Mexico, I saw some people tie a rooster off to a dog's collar and laugh as they went at it. They were the poor farmer type.

I guess when you're just hopelessly poor, it's funny to make other things miserable?

 

[rdowns]

The video has been pulled of Youtube, too.

How ridiculous. Every network aired the story with video.

 

[Gregg2]

That's pretty funny!

Not in the least.

Do the parents know how unhealthy it is for a two year old to be that over weight?

In response to such an observation, the father is said to have replied, "He looks healthy to me!"

And don't cigarettes usually make you thin, not fat?

I don't have any statistics, put I've seen plenty of overweight people sucking tar and nicotine sticks.

 

[TuffLuffJimmy]

Not in the least.

I respectfully disagree. It's the first bit of light hearted humor to come to these forums in a while.

 

[Gregg2]

You might very well be the only person on the planet with that perspective.

 

[ravenvii]

I respectfully disagree. It's the first bit of light hearted humor to come to these forums in a while.

Am I missing something? Or perhaps you're posting in the wrong thread in error?

Because I see nothing funny about this, and absolutely nothing light-hearted, either.

I would normally say this is natural selection at work, but the parents aren't reaping any consequences for their (or the baby's) actions, and subsequently won't be killed for being so stupid. Therefore Darwin fails on this example, unless somebody does us all a favor and puts a nice fat one in their temples.

Can't say Darwinism really applies to the baby either... I can't really hold a mere child who is barely able to form congruent thoughts accountable to evolutionary trends; once older, now that's a different story.

With that said, the sick part in me does find this a little funny, especially all of the imagery involved. But I digress, as most of us will simply repress this little inkling of a thought.
