Ad Fail
What’s wrong with this picture?
So, uh, I know the Internet makes it hard to filter ads for potential poor taste. But this pairing I just ran across (above) was kind of ridiculous…

How to make your baby or toddler go insane…
Okay, so little babies like to take their socks off….and that is just so annoying because who wants a sock-less baby? That’s about as bad as a baseball player without a codpiece. So we gotta do something about that–and now we can, thanks, again, to our friends at One Step Ahead (those friends who are always…one step ahead of us…).
Handy Manny promotes running with saws!
In a recent episode of Handy Manny titled “Home Sweet Home,” a neighborhood child plays a dangerous game of duck, duck, goose called “nut, nut, bolt” with the tools (click on the episode title, watch or skip intro, and then click the scroll bar to -03:22 to see the abhorrent scene).

We’re going to pretend that The Mep Report, hippest, hottest, most tuned in website to all things weird and wonderful on this great big Internet of ours, didn’t take four days to link to this work of art.

Headgear for “special” parents
For too long babies who had plagiocephaly were the only ones who had to wear headgear. They were “special” babies who needed to have a little help to make sure their head shape turned out normal as they grew.
Now, thanks to a new product on the market, “special” parents can put their babies in headgear too. The Thudguard ensures that their babies will not lose brain cells bumping their heads against furniture like everyone elses babies; in a sense leveling the future playing field one fall at a time.
I don’t know what to say…
They say it trains boys up to “two months faster.” I think I’d rather take the two months, but I’ve never potty-trained a boy before, so what do I know.
