Oh I have tears rolling down my face

I know it's not really funny but read the wording of the article. Am I really awful to laugh at this?

To think I was considering taking the kids here as a treat too!

LOL I saw this headline in Sainsburys. LOL particularly at the snowman.

MrsSnape · 03/12/2008 21:29

pmsl that's what got me... "one snowman was so sickened..."

You can tell whoever wrote it was trying to get as much comic effect in as possible

Agree the article is funny but am horrified by the behaviour of parents who would do these things, in front of their kids FGS

MrsSnape · 03/12/2008 21:34

I agree, when I read the full article about the woman being slapped and men fighting etc, it didn't seem funny, just really horrible for the poor kids who were probably looking foward to a nice christmas day out

Its just the way the whole thing is worded though "a fight broke out in the gingerbread house over a spoon of icing sugar" etc

Did these violent types not think of the OTHER kids who were equally as cold and disappointed as theirs and how traumatised they might be. That is NOT what i would expect to see on a lovely family day out, and my kids would have been scared and upset.

oh, and i really hope all those poor sods get their money back

It is the Sun, I believe more in FC than the words in the article.

Yep I laughed a lot when I saw this. Obv not at the actual violence, but who could not help but laugh at the thought of the snowman who "was so sickened at verbal abuse he suffered that he stormed off in full costume."
