The Return Of The Bratz Doll? No Thank You.
So did you hear that the Bratz Dolls might be returning to store shelves sometime in the near future? Did you hear the screaming, Clarice? Because that’s the noise I emitted when I read that those trampy dolls might be making their way back into my daughter’s life. Nooooooooooooooooo…
Bad Photo of the Week: Parenting, Ur Doin’ it Wrong
I started off writing this post in a snarky, satirical tone, but as I wrote I found myself becoming more and more bothered by this picture. It made me laugh at first – that equal parts shock/disgust/OMFG!/I’m-so-uncomfortable-I-have-to-laugh laugh, you know the one – but I can’t unsee this picture and I can’t get it out [...]
What Not to Do With Your Babies: The Water Sports Edition
Has anyone out there written a book for parents called What Not to Do With Your Babies yet? If not, someone should really get on that, with lots of chapters that have subheadings such as Drugs, Lose Them, and Go Windsurfing. Yes, that’s right – Go Windsurfing. Because apparently there are people out there who [...]
From the WTF Files: School-Organized Fake Murder of Teacher Backfires, Big Time
There is nothing I love to do more than surf the ‘net in search of quirky news stories – thanks in part, no doubt, to my healthy StumbleUpon addiction. I get a kick out of those numbered, list-type posts – you know, the ones that list the Top Ten Things You Should Never Say to [...]
And The Award For Parents Of The Year Goes To…
When I was pregnant with my firstborn I was terrorized by a recurring nightmare. It went something like this: I’d take my baby to the mall, get distracted by something (a fabulous shoe sale, a clown juggling ice cream cones, a fry truck) and completely forget about my child. It wouldn’t be until I’d gotten [...]
Geez, People. THERE ARE NO WORDS.
Seriously. I don’t care if saying this makes me a fussy fussy-pantsed fussocrat, but the video embedded below proves, for once and for all, that young kids simulating NSFW dance moves – in any context – is just wrong wrong wrong wrong WRONG. Those butt-slapping slutwear-attired girls of the holy-shit-what-is-UP-with-this video of the other week [...]
I Can Now Say That I’ve Truly Seen It All
A video clip of a young Indonesian boy smoking a cigarette is making its way around the internet, and the story behind it is as sad as it is shocking. Ardi Rizal smokes up to 40 cigarettes a day. He smokes one brand and one brand only, and has major meltdowns when his parents try [...]
Pimp My Ride: The Dora and Boots Edition
One of the best parts about my kids getting older (besides the fact that on weekends, they’re now able to find cartoons and fetch themselves bowls of cereal while Mummy and Daddy sleep) is that they’ve moved in to a different stage of children’s programming. They’re no longer interested, thank gawd, in such annoying shows [...]
Happy Mother’s Day, Moms Who Rule Teh Interwebs! Love, Us.
Obviously, these guys have no idea who Dooce is. (PS: Happy Mother’s Day!) * * * *
