Think you should change the thread title OP. Ridiculous click baiting.

But that is what we are told the child saw, and it did lead to both his parents coming out and condemning it.

So do you think an 11 year old kid was never going to see it? you know with the internet & everything

there are much worse things for a kid to see on the internet. perhaps his parents should take some responsibility for what he looks at. well his father cant because he is never around.

He did not see the "severed head of his father" obviously or we'd be talking about a murder.

well perhaps the tv station shouldn't have shown it?

OP if you dont already apply to work for The Sun. That level of clickbait would guarantee you a job.

It was Kathy Griffin FFS, hardly main stream media, and it appears this is many people's first introduction to her. She's done worse, probably.

One of her shows just dropped onto Netflix, so job done by her, couldn't have bought this publicity.

That is what the child believed, so for a period of time, however short, he believed it was the decapitated head of his father.

The child probably believes Santa is real. Hes in for a fair few more shocks I'd say.

wakka12 · 01-06-2017 05:35PM

It was a prop, bit overly dramatic with the title don't you think. And I highly doubt the child thought it was his father when he saw it, or that he happened to be watching whatever comedy show it was on before it went viral on the internet
I didnt even recognise the face as donald trumps, its completely covered in blood

Doesn't look anything like donald trump. And this child is 11, I think he's mature/old enough to know this is obviously not real

Ah, to be fair, I'm sure Barron's seen him looking like that the whole time while he's waiting for Donald to wash off the fake tan he applied.

Thought this was going to be about Arya Stark seeing auld Neddy getting the chop.

Exactly. He should have been given the 'Things on TV =/= real' talk years ago.

and who went out of their way to direct the young boy's attention to a rather obscure adult entertainment show?

lawred2 · 01-06-2017 05:46PM

why did she lose her job exactly?

so much for the American ideal of the right to free speech... Is everyone a craven hypocrite at this stage?

Yeh but some things just don't go down well with the public. Its not like it was illegal, but you don't always have to do illegal things to get fired. Whoever she worked for obviously just didnt want to be associated with the bad publicity.
Anyway I think the joke was immature and stupid and tasteless and I dont feel bad for her

Disgusting that the Trump family are using their child to shut down an artist.

Bet he never even saw it they just made it up. Fake news.

Is this art nowadays, if she was a talented artist Im sure she could do a bit better than that

Kathy Griffin is a very funny woman. That's all I've got to say on the subject.

The alt-right seem to be getting "triggered" an awful lot lately.

BTW, this doesn't compare to the crap Obama got, and Trump even invited Ted Nugent to the White house, who joked about killing Obama.

The whole thing is hypocrisy of the highest order. The most sensitive snow flakes are Donald Trump and his supporters.

You seem kinda triggered there yourself.

Ah come on now. I'm no fan of Trump but if that was Obama or in fact any black person she would lose more than her job.

She'd probably be locked up.

Ted Nugent said he wanted to put a machine gun in Obamas and Hillary Clintins mouths
Presumably to pull the trigger. He was recently photographed in the oval office with trump.

Barron Trump is 11.

If he was watching TV after the watershed then it's likely to be inappropriate and perhaps it's time to call social services.

How come no one is going after the news channel that decided to show the picture ?

On the subject of inappropriate TV
The typical American child will view more than 200,000 acts of violence, including more than 16,000 murders before age 18.

PressRun · 01-06-2017 08:40PM

If wee Barron lived in the same house as his father or indeed saw or spoke to him on a regular basis, he would know that he wasn't really beheaded on national television.

To be fair to liberals (the american kind), they rounded on her.

Griffin has rightly been punished for her inappropriate actions. Although in her defence I've heard she suffers from her nerves, to put it politely.

Or to put it more bluntly, I believe she suffers from being a bit of a bollocks.
