those wacky, fun-loving french tards.

Article: Bastien Champenois' father is accused of loading the naked toddler into the machine at the family's home in Germigny-l'Eveque, just outside Paris, and then running a cold wash cycle for a few minutes.


They did remember to take the kid out of them. Come on Subby, read more carefully.

Too much starch? Not enough? Dammit man we need answers!

This is Fark.com. Facts don't matter here.

Was he tricked into climbing into the washer by a sign that said "KID FUD"?

It's nice to see the US isn't the only country with blatent idiotic parental negligence.

Fragile French toddlers. Don't have that problem here in Mississippi.

/did the flags he was washing come out whiter than white?

They should put that guy in one of those commercial sized dryers.

F**k these people. How can someone do this to children????

He flushes one of your drawings, you send him through the washing machine. That's the Paris way!

Well, it was an adult at first. He just shrunk in the wash.

JonnyG: How can someone do this to children????

It's not hard, you just have to bend them slightly at the waist as you're putting them in so they fit around the agitator.

They would've been fine if it weren't for those meddling kids that meddling 5 year old.

In other news, French kids go to kindergarten at age three.

Well, you don't want them to allow zombie skiers, do you?

JonnyG: F**k these people. How can someone do this to children????

By lifting the lid of the washing machine, setting the wash cycle to rinse, and loading the kid in the machine. What's not to understand about this?

It's a shame that one of the 3 baths you'll take in your entire life ends up being fatal.

Ghastly?

Consider yourself favorited.... that's one of the best Far Side cartoons ever.

Blood is easier to clean than red crayon though

/stupid crayons in pockets
//now my dryer looks like a candy cane

I'd like to know what brand of washing machine they used. Not that I have any toddler-washing desires; it's just that ours will shutdown with an unbalanced load alarm any time you try to put a too-absorbent bathtowel or a comforter in there. "Can wash a toddler" actually sounds like a selling point to me. That's a reliable machine right there.

That kid's dad kind of reminds me of Geddy Lee.

I would be shocked if they used a crappy top loader in France.

Seems top loaders are an American oddity.

I feel bad, first Steven tyler breaks his face in the shower, and now they make him hold this picture.

I'm not sure why. To me it seems obvious that the openings for buckets of water should face up. Then again, I'm american.

Damn, I laughed at the headline, I feel like a total asshole now.

It's France, most likely it was a Front-Loading type. Real easy to shove them in that way.

Prank Call of Cthulhu: I'd like to know what brand of washing machine they used.

Probably a front-loader. They're 'unbalanced' by default. They're more popular over in Europe because they also use less water and power. A sensor is used to keep the water at the proper level and the spin cycle is faster, reducing the amount of drying needed afterwards, saving energy if you use a dryer.

I'm pretty sure if the content of this thread (or any part thereof) was just between the teaser and the inevitable suglasses-up of an episode of CSI: Miami, that show would oh-so-quickly get canceled.

/you stay classy, Fark.

Alice, told the newspaper. "I felt the last beat of his heart.

Damn, that was shocking to read. This article needs a warning.

Yeah, "Take CPR classes."

/I joke because it hurts.

I'll bet that washer is now haunted.

I smell a Stephen King book in the making......

Just hope french inmates treat child killers the same American inmates do.

This is so stupid. As soon as you take the clean clothes out, the kid barfs all over them. It's a complete waste of time.

Ponzholio: At least she set it for 'whites'...

I thought it was set on cold. That's for colors/delicates.

I knew a dumbfark in high school that ironed her shirt while she was wearing it and had the soleplate imprint on her stomach to prove it.

Got a front loader last year... it's awesome, and you can stack the machines (washer/dryer), taking half the floor space. No more fighting to reach the bottom to get that sock or other stupid ribbon/lace that got tangled around the center post.

I'm actually quite perplexed over so many posts in here that sounds like you guys have never seen such machines.

Don't most laundrymats have these types of machines?

This is horrible. I have a three-year-old son, I can't even imagine what that must have been like.
