I have had the worst day and went on the DM website for some light relief before DS wakes up and starts yelling some more.

This was the lead story and it has made me Angry

Some of them are more fuckwitted than others, but still Shock at them!

It's not a nice picture, so posting it just for the outrage value (Grin) but I came across this picture of a baby with a condom over their head, with witty caption to boot Hmm

TartyMcFarty · 03/04/2012 18:21

Why on earth would you look at such an article for light relief?

No no, went on the website for light relief. Not clicked on the story for it. I clicked on the story without reading the headline.

There isn't much wrong with some of them, other are Shock but it'd the DM what else did you expect?

AgentZigzag · 03/04/2012 18:24

It makes me feel better for the job I'm doing with my two Tarty Grin

SparkyMcSparrow · 03/04/2012 18:25

Ffs what wankers! Angry

AWomanCalledHorse · 03/04/2012 18:29

Some of them are funny, however the microwave & BBQ ones are bloody awful both kids look terrified.

FeakAndWeeble · 03/04/2012 18:30

They were the ones that upset me too.

DH just told me I am a tit for going on the DM website. I think he is probably right.

I admit to being amused by the sandwich one. The lion and snake ones made me Sad

StealthPolarBear · 03/04/2012 19:11

Isn't the baby crying in the sandwich one?

TheMonster · 03/04/2012 19:16

Yeah the baby doesn't look impressed in the sandwich one. I don't find any of them funny.

ClassFree · 03/04/2012 19:18

The snake ones bother me, especially as there have been a few cases in the last 2 years of family "pet" snakes killing/crushing/eating babies in the States.

Shutupanddrive · 03/04/2012 19:22

Omfg!! What is wrong with people? The little boy next to the lion looks terrified Sad and the snake ones are just as bad. Horrible

babbashouse · 03/04/2012 19:31

That condom one has made me want to cry! 22 weeks pregnant so maybe hormonal - or maybe the parents of that child should be being tracked down by social services?! Seriously terrifying stuff! :(

ABatInBunkFive · 03/04/2012 19:36

There is nothing wrong with the one with the baby upside down, she's totally having a great time. The beer one is a bit stupid, but loads of people have similar pics.

ABatInBunkFive · 03/04/2012 19:37

The condom one looks a lot like a doll to me.

catgirl1976 · 03/04/2012 19:41

A few of them are not too bad, like the upside down child

I was really worried aobut the boy being carried like a breifcase - it looked painful and like his arm could break :(

I expect the lion was drugged up to the eyeballs so more worried about it than the child tbh.

Lots of them are just Shock

StealthPolarBear · 03/04/2012 19:41

Pleased you said that, I often turn dd upside down, probably not by the nkles but still...

hiddenhome · 03/04/2012 19:53

Children should always be given their human dignity and kept safe from fear.

ABatInBunkFive · 03/04/2012 19:55

shit that rules out the haunted house at the fair then.

FeakAndWeeble · 03/04/2012 19:57

No, that's still OK. Just don't take any pictures.

Actually one of the things that bothers me most about the snake ones is that reptiles can carry salmonella. I worked with snakes for years and we were always careful about advising people that if you were accompanying a young child you should not let them put their fingers in their mouths until you had washed their hands - such young babies would be massively at risk for this.
Plus, if the snake is startled, it will do what most animals do - bite. Doesn't bear thinking about.

Sidge · 03/04/2012 20:59

The only one I find vaguely amusing is the little girl duct-taped to the wall. She's not hurt., scared or at risk of being eaten.

The others are just horrid and the baby in the sandwich looks like he's screaming. As for the snakes - words fail me.

ABatInBunkFive · 03/04/2012 21:02

What's wrong with the uspide down one?
