  • Ajajadude, on 10/10/2007, -6/+175Having worked in retail (in SoCal) for far too long, I've started to like the idea of putting adults through some kind of screening process to determine whether or not they should be allowed to have kids.

    There are far too many children these days who feel they are entitled to do whatever the ***** they want, legal or not, with their parents standing right there not doing a thing to stop them then getting all pissy with you when you tell their kids to stop running around the store/knocking stuff off the shelves/etc.

    /rant done.
  • KennMac, on 10/10/2007, -10/+67Am I the only one who doesn't find this front page worthy? Not really that funny.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+54Things were better when whupping your kid a bit was socially acceptable.
  • h4rdcor3, on 10/10/2007, -1/+36Their is a difference between beating a kid and punishment. I was spanked as a child and am damn glad my parents did.
  • smurf22, on 10/10/2007, -4/+38This is the 4th time on digg now, in this year alone!
  • consoneo, on 10/10/2007, -3/+31Amen. Parental rights testing FTW!
  • dtrinh, on 10/10/2007, -3/+30Epic fail. http://www.adobe.com/misc//trade.html#photoshop

  • Hipple, on 10/10/2007, -4/+27Yeahh...No and no.
  • stevealford, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23Smackhero, I know you're trying to be clever there, but your sarcasm is retarded. When children are too young to understand logic and reasoning, there is only one way for them to differentiate between good and bad. That path is through comfort/discomfort(slight pain). An unattended child won't stop reaching for the red stove eye until it gets burned and feels pain... then it will never reach for the eye again. Likewise, you smack the back of a young child's hand or give them a spank on the ass (as long as you aren't BEATING them, just enough to get their attention and a little ouch) and say "no" when they do something wrong, then you've trained their young mind to know that when their parent says no, there's a connection to something that causes pain. This connection at a pre-linguistic age will ensure that your child stops doing whatever they're doing when a parent says no from now on... at least until they get their own advanced reasoning skills and decide to do what they want to around age 8-10. Before you start talking more about things you don't comprehend and ask about my education: I have a masters in Psychology and a Bachelors in Early Childhood Development and I advocate spanking. What are your credentials?

    Edit: I ***** hate the new comment system... it posted my reply in the wrong place again.
  • seventoes, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24Sounds like a perfect argument to me. win/win!
  • kakwakas, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21I take if you've never tried to reason with a 7 year-old, smackhero. Hell, you don't even have to physically HIT the kid, just yell a little, grab an arm, and look angry. That's enough for most kids.
  • ElRayQuieres, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20Well now that the joke is old as hell, I finally get it.
  • Godlike, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18Why exactly would you attempt to emulate anything that you see people do on digg? Besides, random 'looks photoshopped' comments are NOT the kind of thing you want to emulate, anyway.
  • TheAkolyte, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18...It's not a joke...
  • Aadain, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Amen! My parents *never* beat me. But I was spanked for very specific reasons, of which they made sure I understood. I quickly learned what not to do unless I wanted to a spanking. Guess what? I grow up to be an adult with a clear idea of what is right and wrong, unlike 90% of my generation.
  • stevealford, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Update: The Edit timer ran out and it put my reply in the right place, but took out my paragraph breaks and created a wall of text. ***** you, digg comment system.
  • CosmicJustice, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13It's not. Any stupid mildly interesting thing can make the front page now. You can get better results Googling random words now than you can get from the Digg front page.
  • elektricki, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Well don't leave us hanging...
  • conman16x, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12You called that user Captain Obvious because he/she unnecessarily explained what made the joke funny, thus removing all humor. And the epic music added extra sarcasm. That is why what you said was funny.
  • thecompkid, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12googled: photoshop russia sausage AIDS chisel

    got Microsoft Frontpage 98 on the first pics page
  • manicallday, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11It's like corny office humor. I'm just waiting for the "Hang In There" photo to show up on the front page.
  • cptn_cardboard, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10You guys wanna hear a Chuck Norris joke?
  • blazes816, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Should have been 'Warning: Unattended children will become 2 shots of espresso'.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11Well done, the epic music changes everything.
  • renegadeafk, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Newest fad in digg culture nowadays is bashing digg culture.
  • juicebag, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8You hurt your dog to train him? Bastard.
  • meatmcguffin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9When it comes to disappointment, you never disappoint
  • otros, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9But you do like the occasional spanking, right?
  • guyperson, on 10/10/2007, -7/+15***** I dugg you up by accident. >:[
  • GeorgeCostanza, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7In China, the sign would say "WARNING: Unattended children will be roasted and grinded up in an expresso, along with a puppy."
  • cptn_cardboard, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I get it, because in the Netherlands they put marijuana in espresso!
    And Dogs!
  • kentifer, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10epic fail win.
  • cptn_cardboard, on 10/10/2007, -6/+12What the ***** is wrong with you.
  • knowyourrights, on 10/10/2007, -10/+16Best way to communicate. Through humor.
  • thekronz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Dugg for submitter not using "Best Warning Ever" like the guy on flickr did.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Even newer fad is pointing out that the newest fad is bashing digg culture.
  • cptn_cardboard, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6one time i went to the grocery store and the salt was right next to the coffee.
    ***** sick
  • pilot3033, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Nazi Germany called, they want their idea back.
  • pilot3033, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Yeah, i see something very wrong with that picture, I see a government that has failed its people, and a society that has turned a blind eye to those in need.

    FYI: We tried eugenics already (ya know? Trying to "refine' the gene pool via castration?), we tried limiting who would have children and who would not (without the victims knowing by the way).
    To skip to the point, eugenics leads to those in power abusing those not in power. In the late 1800s and throughout the 1900s pseudo-scientists believed that black and poor people were inferior, and that they should not reproduce.
    And, who the hell are you to say who can have children and who can't?
    You want only the rich and powerful to have kids? Invent a time machine and go back to Germany 1938-45. I'm sure they'll love you.
  • Wallstreet, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5The stuff on digg is getting so old and repeated I am expecting Bob Hope jokes to start being posted
  • seventoes, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5thanks vornan.
  • SonnyW, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Coffee shops are where they sell the magic mushrooms, hash and marijuana!

    Although it's more the article description that made me go: "Hmmmmm....?" rather than the sign itself.
  • smacksaw, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Wow, this reminds me of my Livejournal...3 years ago.

    There are people that haven't seen this? My mom emails this to me 15 times a year!
  • QueEsAmor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5You mean to tell me Jesus is popular in small towns? Holy *****, you've opened my eyes with your completely useless blathering.
  • lintmonkey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4You're not born into parenting.
  • michaelb1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4That term is reserved to describe the President and should only used as such.
  • tech42er, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Ooooh. I want a pot puppy!
  • NtHammer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3no, you spend way too much time on digg, you are the pathetic one
  • tech42er, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Yes. Sadly, some 'emotionally traumatized' parents with children who didn't get a puppy will think th best way to communicate is through a lawsuit. :(
  • xmkatx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I would make a child my accomplice and hand me the espresso shots and puppy :)
