Never again.

This post is dedicated to mothers of small children everywhere.  And I mean all of you--whether you’re a money-grubbing opportunist, a beautiful human being with genuine love for all mankind, or just unbelievably naive. I want you to stop what you’re doing.  Put down the mouse.  Back away from the computer.  Now go find that list of things that indicates what you’re willing to let your kids do this weekend:

Things I Will Let My Kids Do This Weekend
Hang out at Chuck E. Cheese
Go roller skating
Visit Neverland
Sell crack
Get involved in street gangs

Now cross out the third item, so it looks like this:

Visit Neverland

Now hopefully none of us will ever have to go through this again.

check. done.  when I have kids, I’ll not let them visit neverland.  but I’d cross out the chuck e. cheese trip too.

Perhaps O.J. and M.J. should get married.

Goodbye world, hello Bizarro World.

Hint: it starts with ‘never.’

What can I say?  My mind boggles.  Only in America.

Damn! That ruins my whole weekend! I had plans!

Well I for one am just glad that this verdict will accelerate the release of his next album.

Seriously, how crappy a witness did that kid have to be?

Wait, can I still send girls? That’s not a problem, right?

I’ve been trying to compose my thoughts as to how I’d comment on this piece of ridiculousness, but dammit Greg, you said exactly what I wanted to say.  And, Dirty Dan?  You’re correct, girls are not an issue, but monkeys are right out.

amen to that.
feh.

Shouldn’t we cross off Catholic weekend retreats too?

Posted by David  on  06/14  at  11:01 AM

and trips to Disneyland.

Thanks holley for speaking out for the many voiceless monkey victims!

Considering that a stack of female-style porn mags called “Barely Legal” were admitted as evidence in the trial, I would rethink the whole sending girls thing.

I have a 7 year old who commonly starts sentences with “you know what’s weird?” (yeah, she has a future when Andy Rooney dies). Anyway when she asks that we all answer “Michael Jackson.” She says no, and moves on to her mind numbing story. Tonight we answered “People who take their kids to Michael Jackson’s for a slumber party.”

He is one smart pedophile. Prey on families who won’t be credible witnesses and play nice with the “good” kids.

Thanks Greg,
I was running out of ideas for the kid’s summer vacation.

I wonder if he’ll sell the kiddie jacuzzi?

Here’s a rule:  No kids spending the night with an unmarried man over the age of, say...11?

i plan to let my daughter have a dirtbike, a horse and juggle chainsaws but never, ever visit neverland OR chuckie cheese OR watch disney misogynist propaganda....

i feel that the parents of these children should be charged with endangering their children. it’s been asked a zillion times but WHO THE HELL LETS THEIR KIDS SLEEP IN A GROWN MAN’S BED????

f-ing retards

I take my kids to Chuck E Cheese.  And I let them watch Disney movies.  Should I be charged with endangering my children?  (For those who aren’t sure, it’s rhetorical.)

Posted by QOB  on  06/15  at  08:55 AM

Taking kids to Chuck E. Cheese, and letting them hang out there, are two entirely different animals. As to Disney movies, except for Bambi they’re generally OK. How can you not like a VW that talks intelligently and articulately. No more unbelievable than a President who can’t talk either intelligently or be articulate.

Have I mentioned lately how much I adore Papa Goose?

Can you let me know when the roller skating crack dealer operation is in full swing?

Posted by mia  on  06/15  at  10:47 AM

and mia - don’t forget the chainsaw juggling!  i want a roller-rink that doubles as a crack house with, for entertainment, chainsaw jugglers.

please.

Werd, Gooseboy.
They should have prosecuted the parents right along with MJ. Not that anyone would have been convicted, you know, but still.

Posted by Reecie  on  06/16  at  06:13 AM

I wonder if QOB is the SOB that lets his kids ride free on the merry-go-round while one parent continues to pump in tokens like the village idiot.

Posted by mw  on  06/16  at  02:49 PM

QOB
yeah, grammar problem there...i *meant* the parents that pimped their kids to MJ, not all that other stuff. i make choices for my child but endeavor to never ever judge smile plus, the last chuckie cheese party i attended, well, that place served beer. kinda brilliant if you ask me…
