The other day I was sent a very cute video via email forwarding. For the record, although I rarely forward things on, I always look at the ones that are sent to me. Anyway, before the video began it said something like "This media proudly posted by: ____.net" Blank was just four letters, an acronym I assume. They also had their website in the bottom corner of the entire video. Why am I going on about this, you ask? Well first, watch the video. (Compliments of YouTube)
Wasn't that the cutest thing!?! Well after watching that video about three times I decided to go to the sponsoring website ____.net, to see if it was their family site, or if there were more videos like this one. Innocent enough, right? BIG MISTAKE! To my shock and utter disgust, it was a porn site. Not only am I disgusted that they lead me there completely unknowingly, but more so that they were using this awesome home video of this adorable little boy to sell their smut! I had to wonder if the family knows and if there is really anything they can do about it. Makes me sick.
But, I hope you enjoyed that video! Who needs expensive toys when you have an old newspaper near by. :) And yes, we tried it with Kate...not sure yet if she doesn't have a sense of humor, or if she has a far superior one, but she didn't crack a smile, just looked at us like, "So...what's this, now? What am I supposed to do with this? Can I eat it?"

Oh my gosh - how awful! The video was wonderful though - I guess babies have to be in just the "right" mood for something like that to make them laugh so hard! A magical moment when it happens!
Nothing is better than a baby's laugh. Give Kate a couple more months...she'll be laughing up a storm!
Hey Lyd. Glad to see the updates! I saw this video recently and tried it with Beck as well. Didn't get the reaction we wanted. He also tried to eat the paper. I can't believe that they would use it for that kind of advertisement! When I hear stuff like that it makes me nervous for what our kids will be facing in the future. I guess we'll just prepare them the best we can, give them a firm foundation to stand on! Hope you are doing well. I haven't talked to you for so long. Give me a call when you get a chance!
