That was an entertaining Lunch Break.
JDC – follow the link to the original story – the video is still up at the NY Daily News site
what’s the big deal anyway? we can dismember our kids in the womb – why is this such a big deal?
obviously, it is a big deal and amazingly stupid – but it gets on my nerves when people make a big deal about this and support abortion in the next breath – it’s like those animal cruelty commercials – I totally agree that animal cruelty is a big deal – but so many of the people that “humanize” their pets place more value on a cat or dog (or even chickens and pigs) than they do on the innocent unborn child – it really gets on my nerves

Thanks, Bryan. I guess I should have thought to check the link before complaining.
Updated embedded video link.
P.S. – Please let us know in the future by emailing one of the “Team” listed in the right sidebar and we’ll do our best to take care of it in a timely manner. Thanks!
Really?
Do it first then think. Should I put my child into this washing machine? Hmmmm.
Idiots.
Not saying it was a good idea, but typically machines do not turn on without money.
At least it didn’t happen in Texas.
Billy Bob and Zoedeen spent so much money on lottery tickets and beer they didn’t have enough cash to do the laundry this month.
This happened with teenagers and a large capacity clothes dryer a few years back.
Both incidents were preceded by those words always frought with peril, “Hey, watch this!”
It was the babysitter and her boyfriend and he was trying to play “peek-a-boo” with the kid. Super super dumb, but I too was wondering why the machine would just turn on like that. It’s unlike any laundromat I’ve ever been to.
reminds me of the mom who put her newborn into a running washer. He died. But as pointed out everyone got upset but no one bats an eye over dead babies in abortion mills.
What should really frighten us is that people like this reproduce.
In 1996, the o’bamateur told a gay newspaper, “I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages.”
By 1998, the ambitious the o’bamateur, with an eye on higher office, was now “undecided” on the issue.
By 2004, the o’bamateur was declaring, “I am not a supporter of gay marriage.”
In the 2006 “Audacity of Hope”: “As a Christian,” the o’bamateur explained, he had to “remain open to the possibility that my unwillingness to support gay marriage is misguided.”
In August 2008, at Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church, that “different conclusion” was put on hold. “I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman,” the traditionalist the o’bamateur said to much applause. “Now, for me as a Christian, it’s also a sacred union. God’s in the mix.”
As late as November 2008, the o’bamateur was proclaiming, “I’ve stated my opposition to this. I think [same-sex marriage] is unnecessary,” the o’bamateur told an MTV interviewer days before the election. “I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage.”
Recently the o’bamateur had a different take. “When we think about our faith,” said the o’bamateur speaking for himself and moochelle, “the thing at root that we think about is, not only Christ sacrificing himself on our behalf, but it’s also the Golden Rule, you know, treat others the way you would want to be treated.”
“Better is a poor person who walks in integrity than a fool who is crooked in speech.”[aka, 'the o'bamateur']
If the o’bamateur were a member of the Cherokee tribe we would re-name him, ‘crooked fool’ and we would warn all who might be misfortunate enough to wander into his presence, ‘Be careful not to step in the ‘oompah’.
As a follower of Jesus, and using the criteria that Jesus established for righeouslessly judging according to Holy Spirit, I have to have to remain open to the probability that the o’bamateur, contrary to his repeated claims, is NOT a member of the body of Christ.
In the remote possibility that I might be wrong, even if the o’bamateur is a ‘christian’, then following the apostle Paul’s admonition, I should stand aloof from the o’bamateur and caution other followers of Jesus the Christ to do the same until the o’bamateur produces fruit consistent with a contrite and humble heart.
What could go wrong?
