What the Hell is a Teenage Child?
Wal-Mart might suck, but at least their employees have a sense of humor. Earlier tonight I saw this news story about a mother that brought home a new camcorder. When they opened the box, there was already a tape inside the camera. All that was on the tape was a man shoving the camera down his pants and showing his penis. Sounds like good clean fun to me. Channel 7, however, was hell-bent on turning this into a story about pornography and children.
My feeling is that if a guy just showed his penis, that’s not pornography. The newscaster also referred to the woman’s son as a “teenage child”. What is that? Is he a teenager or a child? My feeling is that they threw in the word “child” to make the act seem that much more despicable. When I was a “teenage child”, we all took showers after gym in one big shower–and we all had penises. I think the kid can take seeing another one without trauma and a lifetime of therapy.
I’m glad our local journalists are keeping it so real out there. I’m sure they had nothing better to do with that news crew than send it to investigate a mystery camcorder tape with a penis. They can go online and find all the penises they want, and then they can go an a crusade to keep all the “teenage children”, “adolescent children” and “adult children” in the world from seeing them.

What–no photos?!!!
We wanna see these disturbing shots! Indeed I think WHDH should be displaying ‘em every hour on the hour with a plea that anyone recognizing the perp penis call immediately!

This is great. Now maybe they’ll stop showing up in my neighborhood and talking about how the Zakim Bridge is going to come crashing down..although given how well those tunnels were built it is a distinct possibility, but anything to get them out of my hood.
By the way my adult-child is very offended by the words Wal-Mart and penis.
