- Snowbeam, on 10/12/2007, -17/+83Dugg for humour factor...
- Neticule, on 10/12/2007, -48/+23well, looks like I found my new desktop background for today! bwahaha
- anicejew, on 10/12/2007, -486/+16Buried as inaccurate and lame because the post doesn't answer the question in the headline, it just links to some pic.
- shadus, on 10/12/2007, -121/+33The parents of those kids should be brought up on child endangerment charges. Paint can lids aren't easy to get off without a screw driver and leaving an open can or a can with the lid left so loose they could pop it off with their hands is incredibly stupid... if I came home to my spouse having let something like that happen there would be hell to pay.
- scrubadub, on 10/12/2007, -189/+39@anicejew
You need to work on your troll tactics. It's too obvious you are just spamming digg.
In the mean time I hope the next flight you're on crashes into your own home and kills you and your entire family - Nerfdude, on 10/12/2007, -18/+381was anybody else secretly hoping for pics of a toddler, drowned in paint? because i wasn't.
- rstarr, on 10/12/2007, -11/+170Video or it didn't-...
...You know, video just because I bet it would be ***** hilarious. - foobar5892, on 10/12/2007, -88/+22What's worse than ten babies on a tree?
One baby on ten trees.
/badump tsh - junkmail02, on 10/12/2007, -133/+14@scrubadub
i suggest you take that back, because that wasn't necessary. - boxc, on 10/12/2007, -29/+5@foobar:white trash?
- jus1haz2, on 10/12/2007, -5/+26I wish i could digg this twice. I did the same thing as a kid only with oil and a big slide.. lol
- ROFLance, on 10/12/2007, -130/+40@anicejew:
I have a preheated oven with your name on it. - digg-dugg, on 10/12/2007, -19/+158This is why I cant have kids. If I'd seen this, I would've shot them both.
@foobar
-- you got the joke wrong. It goes:
"whats worse than finding a baby in a garbage can?
... finding a baby in 2 garbage cans." - dolemite5005, on 10/12/2007, -2/+195So now just leave a gallon of paint thinner out and have them go to work.
- junkmail02, on 10/12/2007, -99/+23@ROFLance
"I have a preheated oven with your name on it."
What is wrong with you? That's seriously ***** up man. Just a simply "troll" or "spam" comment would have been suffice.
Your picture suggests that you are one of those EMO kids that has nothing to lose. - opiniastrous, on 10/12/2007, -3/+89Wow, I'm impressed s/he had the composure to stop a moment and think "Wait, people surfing the internet will find this funny, I'll take a photo."
I probably would have lined them up and shot them, and then had the afterthought: "*****! That would have made an awesome photo... Why don't I think of these things when I'm angry?" - Nerfdude, on 10/12/2007, -22/+9@opiniastrous
if it was me, the punchline to "what's the difference between a nissan and a couple of dead babies" would be "nothing, i have both in my garage". - prelude, on 10/12/2007, -26/+16What's the difference between a truck load of dead babies and a truck
load of bricks?
You can't use a pitchfork on bricks. - t0ken, on 10/12/2007, -15/+56@ROFLance
"I have a preheated oven with your name on it."
I don't want to sound in any way like I am on the side of anicejew, but you seriously need to lay off the hate man. - Daveecee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+52So... How much do you think they ate?
- matthewaaron, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Judging by the look of the rest of the room, I'm surprised they even noticed...
- Infidelephant, on 10/12/2007, -6/+32edited out for lack of taste.
My good sense kicked in before the timer ran out.
Whew!
:) - Voide, on 10/12/2007, -26/+6"I have a preheated oven with your name on it."
BAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! Its even funnier since I think he's a jew....
I gave you a thumbs up - TheToecutter, on 10/12/2007, -11/+7Dugg because it provides more data that most parents are idiots. LOL.
- royall64, on 10/12/2007, -17/+3anicejew/junkmail: Shut the ***** up. I am going to go contact someone right now, because I've had it.
- carlnewton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20This picture brings back memories. Once when I was 6 or 7 years of age I decided to be a good sport and paint my dad's shed for him, my brother helped. But as we were so young and the strong smell of the paint got us high we decided to also paint my parent's leather jackets hanging up in the shed. Then we decided to paint ourselves. Before we knew it we were covered in gloss paint. Apparently it could have killed us, my mum gave us a bath in turps, as I said I was high on paint, so I don't remember much, but I remember being in a lot of pain. I didn't even know what turps was, but I knew it was stinging everywhere. I had scars all over my face for months after that. Good times. Good times.
- MysticSavage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27Ah, great, Britney's leaving her kids unsupervised again.
- gann, on 10/12/2007, -2/+38Best pic for condom ads.

- Fighterspj, on 10/12/2007, -7/+5@ anicejew
Ive seen you before and all you do is bitch bitch bitch so why dont you just shutup!
You are a descrace for the jews - matt.rubin, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3Whats the difference between a truck full of bowling balls and a truck full of babys?
You can unload the truck full of babys with a pitchfork - Gerolsteiner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I told the judge I should have kept them. Diana can't even control her own behavior, much less theirs.
- Flanker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@Fighterspj: you are a "descrace" for the spellcheck.
- GenerousLinus, on 10/12/2007, -14/+174AAAAARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
...Sorry but how is this Tech Industry News?
Oh, I see there's a television in the picture... I apologize.- Markpdotcom, on 10/12/2007, -7/+34You're right... its also very very old. This has been doing email forwards for a number of years. How is this news?
- aaron.dunlap, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27hey my kids have that same sprial toy to the left of the TV. Leave it to kids to get paint all over the techie stuff and leave their toys dry as a bone.
- Daveecee, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2So bury as "wrong topic."
- wassim2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Many of us are to blame because we dugg it up. Where is this "self policing" I always hear about?
- aforsberg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0oh, you fool.
- triskaid, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3Who says this is mainly a tech site? When tech is news, I'm interested. but I'm only casually interested in tech and you know what? I don't vote it up. This site is a democracy and it's only 'mainly a tech site' if that's what most people vote for.
- Eastlygod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@triskaid
He's not annoyed that it's on the site (well, maybe is a little, but that's another issue), he's annoyed that it's in the 'Tech Industry' Topic, when it clearly isn't tech industry news. Apart from, as he said, that there's a TV in the Picture....
- soylent2oz, on 10/12/2007, -6/+14LMAO. Kids are so cute. Especially when you are cleaning up the havoc they have wrought.
- pathy, on 10/12/2007, -28/+106Kids are cute!
When they're sleeping. Or dead. - foobar5892, on 10/12/2007, -21/+8Awwww.... dead babies! Shoo cuuuute!
- wvdavis, on 10/12/2007, -7/+61Kids are so cute... When they are someone else's, and you have your iPod on just loud enough that you can't hear them.
- malice8691, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Kids are cute but the downside is you have to feed em and stuff.
- se7en11, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I love the little hand print on the toddlers head. That other kid must have got a hand full of paint and just smacked him in the head. We need video!
- CedEx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Feeding isn't so much the problem as it is what comes out AFTER the feeding.
- wvdavis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Kids are so cute... especially a two year old and when you have a laser pointer. They will chase it longer than most cats will.
- pathy, on 10/12/2007, -28/+106Kids are cute!
- tafkase7en, on 10/12/2007, -30/+15I hate kids...

- IQis87, on 10/12/2007, -2/+55I think the smaller one ate the paint.
- jer2eydevil88, on 10/12/2007, -1/+30It'll show in 20 years.
- rebz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5yea, i was kinda worried about that. it looks like it was all over his lips. :(
- thashiz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8"Did you eat a lot of paint chips when you were a kid?"
(laughs) "Why?"

- DIS100, on 10/12/2007, -22/+11Old picture
I saw it, probably 2 years ago in a group of "funny kids" pictures- clickmyface, on 10/12/2007, -33/+14Wow, your statement had so much relevance. Thank you for providing us insightful commentary about how old the photograph allegedly is. That was very useful of you and certainly a valuable comment all on its own. You are better than all of us that have not seen the picture before and now we know that.
"Old picture"
Yes such an insightful comment I really enjoyed it thanks so much for being part of the discussion!
You take care now! Wont you? - rstarr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+77"This is a picture of me when I was younger."
Well yeah, every picture is of you when you were younger!
"Here's a picture of me when I'm older."

- MacMan88, on 10/12/2007, -2/+51) i hope those kids didn't swallow any paint
2) gg owned. it looked like a decent flat widescreen CRT too...- xelloss, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9At least paint doesn't have lead in it anymore.
- Benjamin2040, on 10/12/2007, -6/+28You mean, 'unfortunately'...
- foobar5892, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Proudly presenting stress free upbringing!
- blahtastic, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Actually, I'm pretty sure it's a Sony Wega. A really nice looking HD (at least 1080i when you get a wide one or an expensive one) flatscreen CRT.
Then again, that is one Sony product down. Diggers rejoice! Only a bajillion more to go :/
- lobbster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9i also think that leaving paint with toddlers is dumb because its probably not the best thing to drink.
unless you kid is called Pete. his tombstone could read "RIP paint drinking Pete") - Mewchu11, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6They ate the paint, lets hope those parents called the poison center. Just because there isn't lead in there any more doesn't make it safe to eat.
- aforsberg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0how do u KNOW there ain't any lead there? stupid kids...
- Fireinthedisco, on 10/12/2007, -13/+35Dad:
"Kids I think it's about time you meet my little buddy Mr. Belt."- ICSU, on 10/12/2007, -5/+62If you beat kids for your stupidity (leaving an open can of paint), you're an idiot.
- Tagskill, on 10/12/2007, -13/+1who's to say the can of paint was open to begin with?
I really doubt that this person would leave a can of paint open and then take a pic.....
there is something called child services ya know.... - Jarodd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Seems like you never tried to open a can of paint.
- Tetranitrate, on 10/12/2007, -9/+27 I don't beat them for stupidity, I do it for fun.
- codyman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25poster children for birth control damn... or bad parenting.... probably both
- patch6, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3that is glorious
- antdude, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17Check out that kid in http://factum.blogspot.com/2007/01/class.html ... ;)

- da_bradler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1oh noooo not the double duece salute
! - khag7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1that was on digg not too long ago and it was confirmed as photoshopped. but cool nonetheless
- Flappy3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3At least they didn't have carpet. The leather lounge suite is ruined though.
- Filcho, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Let the kids play, dammit, just be careful what they play with ... lol
If you want your kid to sit quietly in one place, get a ***** Barbie doll- pathy, on 10/12/2007, -10/+5Ah yes, but ***** a barbie doll is no replacement for ***** a- Nevermind.
...
>.>... - TheTaoOfBill, on 10/12/2007, -3/+27Because of Barbie dolls I didn't know girls had nipples until I was 11
- missflibbles, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Tao of Bill, why would you know girls had nipples, anyway? Do people normally see a lot of shirtless females when they're small?
- pathy, on 10/12/2007, -10/+5Ah yes, but ***** a barbie doll is no replacement for ***** a- Nevermind.
- falloutsyndrome, on 10/12/2007, -18/+7American parenting at it's best.
- b0bby, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13Judging by the plugs, I'd say UK parenting...
- slipperman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3... and exactly what about this picture shows that these are American children? Because they are white?
- gomerspile, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3You know they are american, because only americans mix flat screens with being white trash
- Chrysler300Mguy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4That is funny, this picture was sent from a viewer of the Ellen Show and aired last Monday.
- Phil246, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7toddlers shouldnt be unsupervised, period.
- blackjack75, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I agree. But if you put a bucket of toxic paint at the reach of their little hands, they won't go too far.
- Vicken, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3oh man they even got some on the TV!!!
if those were my kids........oh boy, they'd be in a lot of trouble - jackieboy37, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I'd put them to work so they could buy me a new tv.
- pyrotix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3and oldie but goodie
- stanton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2sounds like a great way to claim on your insurance for a new TV, sofa, floor etc, especially with photographic evidence :D that kid looks faaaar too happy!

- Flappy3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wrong story.
- Lyph4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Those are nice... And have what to do with the story?
- Heembo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow, those are really nice. I'm glad they do not have anything to do with the story.
- drilldown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3No paint in those jugs. That's no fun! :P
- JimDinger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Yeah ok am I now in trouble for looking at 16 year old *****? Thanks ***** face.
- da_bradler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think we know what you were doing before coming to digg.
... also the link is down, post again ;)
- benijuana, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8that kid looks so proud... i love it
- eurocrisp, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1No child is worth that.
- JimDinger, on 10/12/2007, -9/+17@ eurocrisp I hope you never have kids,cause Kids are worth everything and a lot more.Some of you ***** on here saying ***** like I would shoot them,thats just wrong yeah they would be in some serious ass trouble but everything in that photo is replaceable,except 2 things and one of them happens to be looking right at the camera and the other is still playing with the paint.
Get a life some of you.And do the world a favor,never have kids ok? Not even by accident,or if you do have em by accident be a dead beat parent and don't ever try to influence them in any way so at least then they will have a chance at a normal life.
Oh and by the way the lid is easily removable plastic one. Not metal that you use a screw driver to get off
- JimDinger, on 10/12/2007, -9/+17@ eurocrisp I hope you never have kids,cause Kids are worth everything and a lot more.Some of you ***** on here saying ***** like I would shoot them,thats just wrong yeah they would be in some serious ass trouble but everything in that photo is replaceable,except 2 things and one of them happens to be looking right at the camera and the other is still playing with the paint.
- M34tb4LL, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4OK - parents not so bright for leaving paint where the kids could get to it
but they should incredible restraint in going to get the camera and take a photo before beating the living daylights out of the children!!!!- emehrkay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1at least the older one - he looks like he should know better
- SuburbanDave, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9This should be in a magazine ad for condoms.

- exgiexpcv, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Ummmm . . . just a general head's up -- most paint today is actually quite nasty. There are compounds like PAHs, toluene, etc., that are really *bad* for living things -- usually the youngest and oldest members of a population get it the worst.
I would take those kids to hospital to get checked out before I did anything else. Even latex paint can harm their itty bitty growing alveoli. - weiran, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This has been around the block a few times.
- sillyboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1wouldnt having that much paint on your skin, and the fumes, make that little baby very sick??????
Assuming it's real paint... and not a setup- jdavid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1no myth busters did an episode on that.
- spacecadette, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Latex paint is non-toxic
- sirdaz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28That was the last photo ever taken of those kids.
- MrViklund, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2lol :)
- Shivetya, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That looks like a picture that was posted by a the Neal Boortz program's Melinda, of what they claimed her kinds (Wilbur and Orville) did one day.
- MrViklund, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2ROFL. I feel sad for the TV :P
- BobbyMC, on 07/21/2008, -5/+0I really hate children.
- Jarasmen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15"Hun! Our children completely ruined the house! Get the camera, we're going to blog this!"
- gfair, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0Does this look set up to anyone? If I found my kids doing this, the last thing I'd do is take a photo of them at the scene of the crime. The leather couch, the floor, the TV... and the parent takes a photo? The kids are smiling, it looks like a happy situation. And a parent leaving an open can of paint around, in reach of the kids?
The whole thing seems set up. I can see it happening, but the scene looks a bit too setup to be believable.- Torx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12to be honest, if i found my kids wallowed in paint along with the rest of my furnishes, its too late, and i'd have to laugh it off because it would be my fault for leaving them unattended anyways. I'd definately have to look in their mouths first before grabbing that camera though...
- jdavid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I think this is one of those moments as a parent where you smile and laugh out of pain, realize that they are kids, and plan to plot revenge by showing the picture to their future girlfriends, coworkers, and family members at every chance you get.
On another note, if that is latex paint it should clean up with soapy water, and everything but the leather couch might clean up. My guess is that mommy hated the leather couch anyways. Women seem to think leather couches are tacky for some reason, I love mine, but when ever I am in a long term relationship, I always hear about it. As a bachelor its great, if you spill on it, it rolls right off, well maybe except for the dried latex paint.
I hope i can remember this picture and how funny it is now that i do not have kids so that i can take it in pace when i do, and they do something similar.
I tried to spray paint moving fan when I was younger, lets just say that the fan was not the only thing that got paint on it. - mustbepatient, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3gfair, do you have kids? I ask because it doesn't sound like it from your question. I think if a parent flips out over this, they have personal issues they need to work out.
- Br0wn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4modern art masterpiece imo.
funny to see all the little footprints and claw marks on the floor. - rotibomb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3anyone else finds it cute that the picture is hosted on _photobucket_?
- gagan97, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2ha ha ha... funny truly.. kids will b kids..
- evilrobot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1hmm... that extra "E" just a little bit too much for you?
- macen, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I've always wanted to have my own house,wife,kids ect.
Boy did i make a big ***** mistake! - KSUdesigner, on 10/12/2007, -7/+8Not only did these idiot parents leave a gallon of paint accessible to two young kids, there's a bunch of other hazardous things in that room.
1. An all glass table - how long before they jump on that and come crashing through?
2. A window that extends all the way to the floor without anything in front of it to block their access.
3. A cheap ass tv stand that is just waiting to be climbed on, knocked over and crush one of the little *****.
Parents are really ***** stupid sometimes.- Steeple, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2borrrrriiiiiinnnnng!
- sirdaz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3ha ha... "crush one of the little *****"... call me cruel but that made me laugh
- macen, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I agree you get some realy ***** -up people in today's world.
***** scary if you ask me-i mean what's this world coming to if you can't even protect your young from the
dangers out there. - terrachronos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Man this is an ancient one.
- squirrelza, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I have a similar story to tell. There was a painter in the house doing the walls, and my dog jumped through the window straight in to the bucket of paint and then on to the ONE DAY old Persian rug. We started screaming "GET BACK!!!" and he started crapping himself for not knowing what he did and he proceeded to run through the whole house. At the end of the day there was pretty much dog paw prints all over the place.
- chazzbro, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I thought it was funnier when paired up like this:

- CrazyZ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2As a relatively new parent (my daughter is almost 3) I can tell you that if you want something destroyed, or disassembled, just give it to a toddler and close your eyes for about 5 seconds. I have never seen a living creature wreak as much havoc as a child.
