Baby Bling

What is it with all these 3 year olds going around with sparkly ear rings and gold chains around their neck? I'm terrified walking past them, afraid their gonna attack me with their pacifiers! Do parents actually like their children looking like this?

I don't think the parents like them to look like that. As far as I know it's usually the children going in on their own and getting it done. Personally I think it's horrible. The worst being the 2 year olds with love and hate tatooed on their knuckles prison style.

And hey! Whats with airplane food.

Man it sucks.

I was walking by the coombe the other day and a newborn held me up with a switchblade. :mad:

And why is there plug sockets in the toilets?

Are people actually shaving in there?

Ok, firstly, abercrombie,

One day your braincell will multiply and you'll realise how silly that statement was. Maybe the humour and sarcasm in homah's post wasn't quite blindingly obvious enough for you, but try not to need constant spoon-feeding dear.

Funk-you,

Someone who has James Brown as an avatar and 'funk-you' as a handle you should enjoy cheetah wallpaper and zebra skinned rugs. Has George Clinton taught you nahthink?

Your conception of what 'these people' crave stylistically seems to be formed from watching too much Only Fools and Horses with your parents as a child.

You have misspelled 'cantankerous' in your sig. Contankerous? Wtf? It sounds like some sort of freight lorry.

Eh, the generalisation is astounding.

enii, I wouldn't be quite so quick to judge if I were you. Prejudice is far more ignorant than adorning your child in a tacky fashion. Also, learn to finish your sentences properly, with a full-stop. Your ellipsis is not only useless, it is meant to have three dots, not four.

binomate deary, do try not to condescend when you can't even string a sentence together.

Aside from all this nonsense, I feel it's tantamount to child abuse to pierce a baby's ears.

I'm sorry but when I read the thread title I was nearly sure I read "Babys Bling" and not "An English lesson with Shabadu". It's probably just me. However, I might point out that you may have confused me with someone who gives a shit.

This is the single greatest contribution to this thread so far.

You have no idea how sad typing that made me feel.

I agree completely. Body modification should not be done on someone who's far too young to even comprehend what's happening to them, let alone consent to it, it's pretty much mutilation when they're that young.

dear god Shabadu,
who woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? My comments on "what these people crave stylistically" was meant in jest(in a lighthearted thread) but if ive offended you in some way i greatly apologise. I simply added other things that i find to be tacky but hey, sorry. if you feel more important or a bigger person for making your post and showing that you feel you are more intelligent than us little people then i am glad i could bring some joy into your life.

About my handle and avatar-it is a private joke between myself and a few friends so i understand how the satire could be lost while you're up there mounted on your trusty steed. i take no offense and shall refrain from retorting.

i do on the other hand thank you for pointing out my spelling mistake in my sig which i will rectify immediately, learning from my mistakes is the only way i'll better myself and achieve. If i make any more mistakes pm me immediately and i shall take note not to make the same ones in the future.

Also for the second time in a few months i'd also like to ask you not to be so condescending and/or aggressive in your replies to me, i have respect for your views and opinions so please have some for mine unless i can bring some of the "joy" i spoke of to you. if i can by all means go ahead.
Remember the world is full of arrogant and condescending people, it shouldn't be something to strive for. Have a chat with me, you might even enjoy it rather than attacking my post and i'm always on the lookout for a new friend.
Now i shall take some of my own advice and also get back on topic.

-on topic
today i actualy saw a child of no more than four with her ears pierced and sporting a stud on her nostril, i'm not usually shocked easily but the urge to go up to the mother and ask "why, just why" was almost unbearable.

i whole heartedly agree. why would you put a child through any unnecessary pain? even if it is in the name of what you think looks 'cute'.

Leave them alone children, it's merely their parents way of starting them off on the right foot with regards to the hierarchical social structure of the 'illiterati'

The ranking structure within such societies is demarcated by two things;

1) On the womens' side, their social standing can be ascertained by the size of the hoopy earrings which they sport - they start off with the studs and move to bigger ones according to the amount they 'put out' - that's why the biggest ones can be found on the ones pushing the double buggies with ten other kids in tow and;

2) on the mens side, by the squareness of their heads, according to recent anthropological studies, their bloodlines can be traced directly back to Genghis Kahn. The physical make-up does have the advantage of bringing with it considerable strength, however, given the squareness of the head, a strong neck is required in order to keep it upright. The density of muscle tissue needed for this can sometimes have the effect of cutting off the blood supply to the brain. Ths can often produce bizarre results - like thinking that all street vendors are 'Romanian' and that all '****' should get out of Ireland so that they can listen to Tupac and 'Fifty Cent' without feeling intimidated by the presence of ethnic minorities.
