We'll need two for this vajayjay.

Not so much.

That comment section smells a little too closeted racist right now, instead of the burning hot dog smell of ironic and funny...

But, Tom, why is watching a stoned child funny? What kind of people, seriously, laugh at that kind of humor?

Well, it's not like the kid was buying illegal drugs from a pusher and doing them himself.

America is so wrapped up in "drugs are wrong" that no one even notices when "drugs are just fine and/or necessary". Get over yourself, lady! It's not like people are going to taunt this kid forever! "HA HA! You needed a dental procedure! You take the time to take care of your teeth! HA HA!"

And how long do you think it will be before some really sick person starts giving these kiddies drugs for the fun of it? These drugged kids are being used for the benefit of adults, and that's just wrong.

You're right. They are. Without these drugged kids, you wouldn't have a column, exploiter.

Watching a stoned kid is funny. Knowing that he will be seeing that video for the rest of his life is funnier.

Biatch needs to grow a sense of humor.

Here I will summarize the comments on that page.

WHITE PEOPLE:

BLACK PEOPLE:

WHITE PEOPLE:

"These drugged kids are being used for the benefit of adults, and that's just wrong."

ORLY?

Welcome to the internet, Mary.

Be thankful you met farkers, instead of these nice chaps:

Yeah, I think I got poked in the eye by someone's white hood in that comment section. I don't want to be on anyone's side on this one.

Though this woman is a dumbass overreacting b*tch an needs to lighten the f*ck up, that video was hilarious. She probably knows this and is just being stupid for attention, to which I submit the fact that I never heard of her until this episode as evidence.

I pulled this gem off the comment section:

"chig67 - you may be right. however, blacks will INTENTIONALLY kill each other, do drugs at an alarming rate, and have babies without a father 72% of the time. Congrats on being the poster child of the underachieving race!"

I particularly liked the part where Chig67 discusses the asexually reproductive nature in which 72% of black children come into being. I feel like that's a pretty high achievement! That's got to be the next evolutionary step after the disappearance of the pinky-finger, right?

Wow...

As a White guy with a Black wife & an interracial infant daughter who will be heading to Chicago next week, I'm NOT getting a real kick out of those replies.

/yikes.

What a coont.

"Well, Jim, based on your reasoning, a father should be able to share anything about his son on the Internet. How about potty training? Will we soon be seeing those darling photos of bare-bottom babies trying to get the hang of potty training? Will their misses be fodder for the Internet freaks?"

Mary Mitchell has obviously never seen the TV show Jon and Kate Plus 8
http://www.google.com/search?q=Jon+and+Kate+plus+8+potty+training

You can even watch the clips on YouTube

"When fathers get to the point that they are willing to exploit our children so that they might stumble into an opportunity, it makes them no better than those freak-show hustlers."

Oh, so that's how she feels about what Jon and Kate are doing to their eight kids.
Nevermind then.

How did David at the Dentist turn into a race war?

When it comes to drugged kids on the Internet, I was surprised that so many of you thought I should mind my business.

Obviously, the sedated-baby genre is so popular it doesn't matter that these children are being exploited by their own parents for the amusement of strangers.

I didn't realize we had a black Michelle Malkin out there.

Is there any real reason why there are op-ed pieces in Newspapers?

In so many cases like this one, it's just easier to try and make something out of nothing, rather than spending the time to research and write an article that might actually be interesting and useful to someone.

Jeebus, give someone a column and all of a sudden she's a parenting and morality expert.

Life without sex?.

Where's the fun in that?.

/Unless we have to become cunning linguists
//Which I'm not against
///But ladies, take care of what's downstairs, please

I think the video was exploitative. Not intentionally that way by the father who filmed it, but exploitative nonetheless.

Not really worth discussing this much, though.

/so why am i here
//leaves...

What's next for Mary, how about how the Nirvana Baby from the album cover was exploited by adults for "entertainment" and every article from infant to adult rehashing the poor child is opening a sad sad wound, articles written by her very own business !!!

Than so-called "journalist" needs a vibrator and a years supply of batteries as she seriously is need of a orgasm and to lighten the hell up and maybe during the insertion she will realize just how deep and big that stick is up her arse and finally pull it out so someone can determine just what kind of bug was attached to the end of the stick that died in there. LOL

I am not getting the racial angle, other than the columnist is a black woman.

However, she is attention whoring in a huge way and needs to STFU.

"But Tom, why is watching a stoned child funny?"

I don't know why watching stoned children is funny, it just is.

What kind of people, seriously, laugh at that kind of humor?

You're right. I am a pretty depraved individual, but I've surrounded myself with people like me so I get along just fine.

/Now it's off to the pediatrician dentist with my camera to mine some Youtube gold!

Wow, the comment section is insane.

When did our lives become so important that we have to share every bit of it with the world? This is a issue of perception. Some people seem to find nothing wrong with filming this child but the scary part is that this could lead to other offensive, even criminal behavior which is shared on youtube.

Careful folks, filming your kid after visiting the Dentist is a dangerous and slippery slope.

Now I know who the op-ed section is written for, I'm less surprised at the moranic nature of the articles I find there.

CygnusDarius: Welcome to the internet, Mary.

Man, she's f'ed if /b gets a whiff of it and decides to go after her.

I can't wait for her follow-up article to THAT.

kids on drugs (new window)

Man-Hater hates men.

The 'white knight' slayed no one but her own sense of humor.
/scared to say black knight and be RACIST.
/black.

There are currently 3,270 hits for potty training on youtube.

This is really an issue of old people being old. She doesn't get that stuff like this is replacing the baby books of yore.

Typical why-can't-you-be-more-like-me b.s. disguised as op-ed reasonableness. The woman needs to back off and admit she personally doesn't like the video, instead of trying to make it sound like her personal dislike is in fact based on some kind of universal principle that the rest of need to follow.

Wow, calm down, lady. I've seen worse on AFV.

Schadenfreude ist die schoenste Freude: Man, she's f'ed if /b gets a whiff of it and decides to go after her.

I can't wait for her follow-up article to THAT.



This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.

When my oldest was potty training, I had some hiarious stories, which I promptly emailed to the entire extended family, and friends.

ZOMG! A horrible parent is me. A life of crime for my abused spawn.

Has this chick ever watched America's Funniest Home Videos? Half the show is about nekkid kids engaging in strange toilet behavior.

The other half is their dads being hit in the nuts.

She keeps going on and on about how the kid was humiliated, but she knows jack shiat about the kid's feelings. Back when the video first became viral, some journalist did care to find out how the boy felt and interviewed the family. Turns out the kid isn't embarrassed. This woman is simply getting off on playing Morality Police.

FTFA:

Will their misses be fodder for the Internet freaks?

Wow.

So anybody who uses the internet is a freak now?

Mitchell is the perfect storm of ignorance, entitlement and faux haugtieness and outrage.

The print version of Nancy Grace except with a different accent.

The ONLY reason she even has a column is because when Steinberg got his she DEMANDED it saying she was being "discriminated against" as a woman and a black person by not having a column of her own.

This is well known in Chicago newspaper circles and Steinberg himself confirmed it to me.

Potty training on youtube? Yep, Japanese style.

I wish I had a video camera with me the day my autistic, ADHD daughter was on Tylenol 3. We were driving from TN to TX and she'd had an accident the night before and ended up with 2 black eyes. She was 4 years old, hadn't started talking yet, and was in a HORRIBLE mood until I gave her the T3. I figured it'd knock her out but instead she apparently got really high because she was hilarious! For 2 years now I've been wishing I had video of that /sigh.

"These drugged kids are being used for the benefit of adults, and that's just wrong."

I read the article and saw nothing about CP.

Ive seen:

David at Dentist
David at the Divorce
Chad Vader at the Dentist
Cristian Bale takes David to the Dentist
David calls out Cristian Bale
and 2 neat Remixes.

did i miss any other good ones?

Maybe my years of Farking have left be cold and dead inside, but I'm pretty sure that lady is the textbook definition of a humorless twat. ZOMG! Somebody videotaped their kid being funny and cute while doped up on sedatives!? He really should've put the kid in a burlap sack before putting him in the car, that way people pulling up along side him at stop lights wouldn't be subjected to the raging child abuse occurring in the backseat! In a world where the "Dentist Appointment Hijinx!" episode has existed in every child-friendly sitcom since the FREAKIN' 50's, how this chick is seriously getting bent out of shape by that (IMHO) harmless and endearing video is beyond me.

Please tell me there's a journalist Farker out there that's willing and ready to step up to the plate on this woman and get a little Column on Column action going. Sampling e-mails and posting smug one-liners after them is not "telling us what's what". Less red herrings, more genuine reasons why that parent is so "horrible", or STFU.

I only skimmed that, but I want to point out

1. People put way too many stupid videos on the internet already. I support them being discouraged from AWing.

2. This is just another asshole thinking everyone should pay attention to his precious snowflake child, only now he wants it to be the entire world.

3. "zOMG, funny things kids do" is America's Funniest Home Videos-style lame. What's next, a dog going down a slide? Followed by a columnist reaction of "Oh noes, animal rights! That dog could end up with a slide-burned backside!"

I can only support funny videos involving children and drugs when they're semi-scripted like Will Ferrell's The Landlord.

I agree with her, I hate the exploitation of children and I think those stocktrade baby commercials are teh suck.

So, rather than read the previous barrage of responses, and say to herself,"Hmm, maybe I did go a bit overboard with this", she instead says "Hmm, I can't believe so many people are wrong about this".

Perhaps she should write a column about cognitive dissonance next time. Could have let it go and maybe learned something, elected to go for the self-righteous coont angle instead.

Why is it that newspapers are failing?

bobbette: 2. This is just another asshole thinking everyone should pay attention to his precious snowflake child, only now he wants it to be the entire world.

Dude! He posted a funny video of his kid on the internet. He wasn't hyping the farking video like Matthew Lesko on a crack binge! Lighten up!

/also, I think we found the columnists' Fark Handle

I tried to link the article in /b/, but my conscience kicked in.

Guess I'm still human after all.

Ncoont

2 Davids 1 Dentist

Jamdug!: 2 Davids 1 Dentist

That's just...wrong.

/nice work

I think it's great that the ads at the bottom of the page are for potty training literature.

Those that can't do... teach.

Those that can't teach... become newspaper columnists.

Give me a paycheck, and I'll write about anything, too!

Put my two cents in on the comments section - and without bringing up race at all!

Yay for me.

Coming soon to the Chicago Sun-Times: Mary Mitchell VS The Internet in a 10 round grudge match.
If nothing else, this lady sounds like she's frightened of this new medium which receives more attention than her. I tell you friends, this whole "inter-net" thing is going to change EVERYTHING.
