So the crack baby fights on South Park inspired folks?
The cartoons predicted this:
To all the other people wondering “again” …yeah me too. How are there so many childcare workers like this?
I'm not saying that isn't awful... Just it's also funny
"You met me at a very strange time in my life."
“Babies don’t sleep this well.”
AGAIN‽
““I knew from his cry, in the look on his face, that something had happened.” The mom has a sharp eye there. I don’t know I’d be able to tell that there was something wrong with a crying child.
Also, does recording on video count as breaking the first rule?
You get to know what’s a real “I’m hurt really bad” cry from “I’m scared” or “I didn’t get what I want” etc. for your kids.
Also, yes.
My youngest is autistic and not very verbal, I've become very good at reading his cries and noises.
the first rule is "nobody talks about fight club." nobody said anything about recording it and posting it on youtube.
I guess they didn't have YouTube back then.
Apparently Project Mayhem failed to prevent Youtube from happening.
There was one of these in Arkansas last year, right?
Oh, one in NJ in 2015: https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/child-fight-club-lightbridge-academy/
This must have been where south park got the idea for the crack baby gladiator fights episode where EA sports bought the franchise then cheated the kids out of their cut.
I just looked it up and the south park episode is 4 years older than the story from 2015
I haven't watched South Park regularly in awhile. I should watch that it sounds like a good episode.
It's actually a pretty old episode. "Crack Baby Athletic Association"
there was a Blue Jam sketch about this in the 90s...
