Nate,

That particular site seems blackly humorous, but here's a real life story about a situation just this past this week here in the
States:

Spent thousands of dollars and at least 3 weeks of
time on "ninja" training? Don't know what to do with
that straight sword of yours? Join Black Market
Babies.com!

(If you can't tell this is a satirical website, you
probably need to be sterilized. But then, you'd just
be trying to get babies through the website, wouldn't
you? So I'll spell it out: IT'S A JOKE!)

Lizzie--

I'm aware of the story, and thanks for reminding us of
the more sobering aspects of human stupidity. However,
I'll point out the website IS satirical, and nowhere
is anything like the events that took place in this
horrible affair mentioned or condoned.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the spirit of that
young woman, her husband who's now left alone to take
care of the child, and that poor child who will never
meet it's mother.

While it's important to take things toungue in cheek,
we should remember that some things are serious. And
while we should take some things seriously, it's
important to remember there are other things that are
intended as jokes, and should be taken so.

Nate

Nathan,

Oh very yes, and very black humor, indeed. I enjoyed it very much.

I just happened to be reading the story on the young Missouri mom when your
original post came through and wasn't sure if it had reached the
international level. I also recalled the little incident over the 'Ninja
Day' thing. Such disconnects with reality and inability to discern fact
from fiction & satire is very scary to me.

But don't get me written off as a sour old she-goat who wants nothing more
than to head-butt everything in sight. I'm very ready to laugh at the
foibles of humans (including myself), be silly, play with my kids, sing
off-key, and render a very sharp opinion once in a while..... among other
things....

.... don't forget, wicked, too....

Lizzie
