Jeezy, that kid on the bar looks creepy. I will send you to the cornfield.

Kids seem to have the greatest potential to be creepy as hell.

I'll bet people hated it when you brought your kid to the bar then as much as now.

The cornfield is conveniently at the bottom of cornfield lake. The drunks were no good to her when they ran out of teeth for her to cash in with the tooth fairy.

I've never seen that picture, but that kid has just stolen my soul.

Life has a bunch of screwed-up pictures.

//For some reason, I'm thinking that girl is the daughter of a miner, and it's quite the hard scrabble life, hence, the weird look. Looks a lot older than she is.

Not seeing anyone leering. Way to sensationalize a headline to get a green Liemitter.

And it got a green. *sigh*

Did you not read the article? Considering the subject matter, it was wonderfully apropos.

The guy in the hat to the left who's staring at the little kid thinking "Too old" is even creepier.

Pedobear, can you spare a dime?

I think that kid is conjuring 'Fire Ball' in his right hand.

Interesting, because NPR is for people who can do neither.

You see that bald guy with the hat on the left that's staring directly at the creepy kid?

That's not a human child, it's a Montana Bar Gnome. Horrid, angry things they are, always spitting in your beer and taking the money you left the bartender for the tip. Thing is, they don't need the money, they just take it to make trouble. Then they go cut the brake lines in your car. Horrid things.

The bid for the child stands at two beers one shot. Do I see three beers two shots? Three 'n two? Three 'n two? C'mon, let's see three 'n two. Howabout your sir? Three 'n two? Going once. Going twice. Sold! Three beers and one shot!

More proof that David Bowie is a time traveler. Here, you can clearly see David Bowie on the left. He arrives in time to save a young Phil Spector from the life as a Montana Bar Urchin and thus corrects the Rock 'n Roll timeline once again.

If only I didn't have you favorited already for an unsourced story about Kahoks...

The little girl is a time-traveler.

She was already on Fark : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2058133/IVF-mum-61-My-critics- right-age-limit-50.html

I think the kid's just pissed because he knows his old man has already had one too many and now he's gonna get beat again when they get home.

I used to live in Savage, MT, which is pretty funny given your handle.

I believe I've had a drink or two at that bar, if it's the one at the Fort Peck Hotel. The clientele has improved marginally since that photo was taken.

Came here to say this. The kid actually out-creeped the toothless old guy.

Here's a second shot of the little moppet looking slightly less creepy:

Could someone post a slightly cropped version of the photo? I'd really appreciate it. And I hate to push it, but if you could post a couple of them, I think all of Fark would be grateful.

THIS is the funniest comment so far.
