#1 Sounds like an "Afterschool Special" from the 1970s.

#2 Wow. This is an interesting symptom of a much larger issue... the breakdown of the family as a social unit responsible for producing functioning contributors to society. Too many contributors to the failure of this mechanism to thank here, heh, but it sure as hell starts with the social engineering and feel-good wussification dipshits.

Obviously, these "parents" are not really parents... they are now merely the biological entities responsible for spawning these 2 twits.

Funny, but the simplisme cowboy in me says that, were these parents not neutered, they would've used something called "discipline" and, hold onto your hats (Take your Valium!) corporal punishment (See Dictionary.com's entry - note their note, heh - proving the PC / wussification is nearly complete) if necessary - oooooooo!, and then these biological burdens might just have never have become such obvious losers.

And just think, soon they'll be out here in the world with us - irresponsible wankers for life and probably burdens upon us all - because society has been re-engineered and "fixed"... Yeah, I know: "It was for the children." Right. And for the common good, eh?, not to mention some really spiffy and cushy jobs judging others and drawing up nifty social designs which have since proven to be worse than worthless. Can you say recidivism? I knew you could.

Uh, gee thanks.

#3 Why are the people in these types of stories always named "Harland?"

#6 ..note their note, heh - proving the PC / wussification is nearly complete

Yeah, I was kind of wondering how that little "note" was relevant to the phrase's definition.

#7 This is a done deal at this point. The parents might as well move back in and hand the little shits the key to the car and the access codes to the bank accounts. The little brats will never do what they're told because no one ever told them that's what they HAD to do. Little ducks follow mama duck because it's what they're expected to do, and mama duck would peck them if they didn't. Thus endeth the lesson for today.

#8 Ok, I admit. I don't have kids....yet. Me & the Mr will be working on that in 2005.
But....shouldn't the little brats be living the friggin' tent instead of the parents?
I mean, hell, I got a REI membership and would get a good deal on the damn tent, but I sure as hell wouldn't be living in it if I was the momma. I might let them in to use the toilet, but other than that....they could use the hose for a shower until they clean the bathroom, that kind of thing. Want to live indoors? Pick up your "Hot Topic" tee shirt, put it in the wash machine, and dryer....fold the freakin' thing, and don't bitch if you put a red shirt in with your white socks. Pink is the new black, kids.
I don't know what offends me more....the fact that these parents have no spines, or that they are advertising that fact in the media?
