Kids Say the Darndest Things

I wonder where this little girl is learning her vocab....

The Plight of Celebrity Progeny

Sweet Jeebus on a pogo stick, but I pity some of these celebrities' kids! I mean Ocean and Liberty aren't too bad (albeit rather hippiesque), but Audio Science, Moxie CrimeFighter, and Princess Tiaamii are gonna have some problems on the playground.

Pretty Young Things

What is the connection between beauty, sweets, and death? Not sure, but I found two photosets that are worth checking out for their picturesque weirdness. First, there's Daniela Edburg's Drop Dead Gorgeous, in which an assortment of chicks succumb to an array of (mostly) delicious temptations. My demise would totally be Death by Nutella. (Oh, and I have these socks.)

Even creepier is the series Little Dolls, the subjects of which make JonBenet Ramsey look like Laura Ingalls.

Also Hilarious: Anne Frank

See? I've said it before and I'll say it again: Helen Keller jokes are funny.

A Baby is Not a Weapon

What the fuck is wrong with some people? During a fight with her boyfriend, a woman named Chytoria Graham wielded her four-week-old baby like a bat, using the kid to hit her boyfriend. The baby suffered a fractured skull but is otherwise okay and now in the custody of his grandmother...who's also looking after Graham's four other children. Why do people like this have one child, let alone five?

A Serious Post

I'm sorry to be depressing in the midst of my fluffy, happy V-Day gift guide, but I just read this article and felt obligated to repost it. It's about Cambodia's sex trade, which largely deals in children. They're sold by their families, plied with drugs, subjected to repeated rapes, and often infected with HIV. Just devastating.

Stupid Baby Names

What is it with celebrities and their affinity for bizarre and/or stupid baby names? Last Friday comedian Penn Jillette and his wife had a baby girl whom they named—are you ready?—Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette. Yes. Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette. My heart goes out to the poor child.
