Who dresses a child up as a lobster and stuffs him in a lobster pot? And with what implication? That you’re going to boil him? That you’re going to eat him?
That’s what Jonathan Swift had the English suggesting those pesky Irish do in that famous satirical essay of his: they should sell their kids to the rich for food if they’re so hard up har har.
Funny, like this picture.
Only not exactly.
Funny like this guy setting out a punishment for his daughter who published a whiny letter about her parents on Facebook. Lots of people are hailing him for taking a strong parental stand against Tyranny by Teens but watch the thing all the way through and see if you still think he’s so great when you get to the big finish . Yikes!
I saw this and wondered why people would think this is okay. Isn’t he a bit like a child himself? The Na Na Na na na na type. He must have been very hurt by what his daughter said but children often don’t know what they are saying and once grown have many regrets about they did said and did. I also thought why didn’t he donate the computer to some child more deserving than his child? That would have been a really good lesson.

Strange….he just put hours of his time and money into that computer. Could have donated it to someone, rather than ruin it. Too much revenge here.

It’s funny how you feel watching it. I mean he seems so sort of LIKEABLE at the same time!

THAT would have been the thing to do! What a vastly better gesture truly…!
