Does a Happy Meal CD contain profanity?


TAMPA, FL -- A new Happy Meal toy is causing outrage among some parents who think it is teaching their kids profanity.

Several parents around the country reportedly think a CD included in their kids' meals contains a word usually considered to be the worst of all curse words.

The song in question on the "Kidz Bop" music CD is a Gavin Degraw cover song. One of the lyrics contains the word"looking," but some parents feel it sounds more like the singer is saying the "f-word."

McDonald's insists there is no profanity in the song and the CDs will stay in Happy Meals.

Some People Need To Go Back to Parenting Class

For the uninformed and just plain stupid... THIS IS NOT A CHILD'S PLAYTOY. Assholes.

Boy, 6, takes the wheel after dad passes out

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. - Police say a 6-year-old boy grabbed the wheel of their pickup after his dad passed out from low blood sugar and kept them from crashing until a North Platte police officer could bring the truck to a halt.

Tustin Mains was in the back seat with his 3-year-old brother when he noticed that his dad, Phillip Mains, slumped down on Sunday evening while they were driving home from a restaurant.

"I remember getting up to about the mall — that was about 6:45," Phillip Mains told The North Platte Telegraph. "The next thing I remember was waking up to the officer and paramedics, and it was 8:15."

Tustin hopped up from the back seat to his father's lap so he could steer and see out the windshield.

His dad's foot had slipped off the accelerator, but even at idle the Chevrolet Avalanche was going an estimated 10-15 mph.

Other drivers noticed the boy driving the truck. Some maneuvered their vehicles in front or behind the pickup and turned on their emergency blinkers.

Tustin remained at the wheel for several blocks, even turning around when he got into a neighborhood he didn't recognize.

He was then spotted by North Platte officer Roger Freeze.

Freeze maneuvered his car near enough that he could stop, get out and run up to the pickup. The driver's side window was down, so Freeze reached in, grabbed the gearshift and rammed it into park.

North Platte Police Chief Martin Gutschenritter praised his officer and young Tustin.

"I will be issuing him a departmental citation for his quick, professional action on this case. That is also a very special young man. He was able to take quick action when his dad was incapacitated, and we are very proud of him, too," Gutschenritter said.

What punishment would make these child killers suffer enough?


Trespassing Death: Texas authorities say Gayle Muhs and his wife, Sheila, shot a 7-year-old boy in the head May 7 for supposedly trespassing on their property. Donald Coffey Jr., who had been off-roading with three other people roughly 40 miles northeast of Houston, died two days later. The two were charged with second-degree felony counts of aggravated assault.

What punishment could inflict enough suffering on these two disgusting maggots-for-brains pieces of filthy slime masquerading as human beings? What creative justice could they possibly be given that would make them suffer enough? Use your imaginations. Leave a comment with your idea of what would constitute "just punishment" in this case.

Great Website to Protect Teens and Kids from Weirdos on the Web


It's one thing to have a bit of fun with the goofiness that's on the web as this blog does but, there are some serious weirdos out there in cyberspace and for many of them, teens and kids are their favorite targets.

Websafe Crackerz is one of the best and most fun websites for engaging the interest and intelligence of young people, drawing them in with fun and games and lots of valuable information on how to stay safe on the internet. It's NOT a lecture-from-authority type website. This is all about the young people. Definitely not boring.

Are you and/or your young person ready for the challenge?
