The "Laughing Baby": Funny 'ha-ha', or funny 'strange'?

















The details surrounding how a sourly staged video clip showing an infant giggling under manipulative stimulation became one of the world’s biggest news stories escapes.
So, frankly, does any hint of interest.
Upon viewing the clip some “monster” server spewed at me with “must-see” urgency, I clicked off; out of boredom and revulsion.
So, Dad, you’ve found a way to make your kid laugh to the brink of gagging. So much so that the convulsive impulses you elicit while tearing up rejection letters just HAD to be recorded and “shared”.
Congrats. You’re social media’s latest one-hit wonder.
Wasn’t it enough to just enjoy quality time with the kid? Shouldn’t you just reflect on the fact that most people these days aren’t even being shown the decency of having a rejection letter (Seriously? A printed letter?).
You may have a seat on the morning couch next to Matt Lauer now, but I suggest you read the new issue of GQ where Billy Ray Cyrus confesses how much his parenting experience suffered from foisting his child, Miley, into the spotlight.
