The Doctor always struck me as more of an Armani guy. Maybe Boss, but certainly never Dior.
oh my god, I haven't had a good laugh like the one I just had in a looong time. Thank you for that.
You need ten million more stars.
Nobody puts Baby on the floor.
Of course! For only $100 you get a thermos that says "GTFO" in large letters. We'll cram your initials on there for only $50 more.

But! Does he sell monogrammed coffee thermoses?
EXCUSE ME, I AM WEARING DIOR.
I was responding to you telling me to remove a broomstick from my ass. My point wasn't that one shouldn't joke about these things, but merely that that specific joke had missed its mark. I'm sure that even the people who deal with these things regularly have their own lines (like the author's employer in this story).…
It's kind of funny that you think I'm hyperbolically pissed off. I just think you say provocative things you don't really believe for attention. And I'm giving you that attention, so I have to ask what's your problem, then?
You'll notice I used qualify-ers like "might/in general". I did this consciously, so as not to imply that I thought it wasn't possible for someone who wasn't a parent to have the same/ a similar reaction but I have the feeling you were just scrolling, waiting to pounce on what you perceived as some self-righteous mom.
Oh I'm sorry. I didn't realize what a special snowflake you were, with all your specialness. How special to be so special and make extra special comments. APPLAUSE.
I imagine CassiebearRAWR is too mad about being chastised (instead of being the usual chucklehead of the hour) to admit she went over the line.
we're moms and in general there's something about joking about dead kids that strikes us differently (more deeply) than it might others. It's hard not to knee jerk when someone cracks a joke about something that affects us so personally. It's really that our threshold for that type of joke is just quite different than…
You must not be a mom. That wasn't really funny at all and I have a VERY dark sense of humor and usually find your comments very funny. Unless you have lost a child or been at risk of losing your child, this is a topic I recommend you stay away from if you don't want to offend people. If you don't really care, well…
Last time I was at 4chan, there was a lot of laughing about actual dead babies. Not "Hey, here's a joke about a hypothetical dead baby," but "Hey, this baby's dead, let's make a joke about it."
My issue was calling them "fuckers." If that makes me Helen Lovejoy, it certainly makes you Cruella DeVille.
Because dead babies, HAHA.
Maybe it's because I'm a new mother and I'm taking this all very seriously, but can we *not* (even gallows-humorishly) call recently deceased INFANTS "fuckers." Please.
It just seemed wrong to not look at them—to toss them in like they never existed, like it was easier to pretend they were medical waste, hardly worth a second thought.
