“Hilarious” baby video sends Justin Miller into a deep dark well of shame and sadness and despair and existential dread:
I received a forward from a friend at work the other day that contained a link. No description, just a blank email with a link. Here and there I get forwards from this friend and thought it’s probably another puppy playing or a funny home video clip. You know, something that stirs up a “thought giggle” – when you think, “ha, that’s funny” without really changing facial expression and then you close it out and continue on checking email. So, in order to avoid the awkwardness of not knowing what my friend is talking about when she cracks a joke referring to something that happened in the video, I click on the link to watch it.
A video starts to load and a baby is seen sitting in a bouncy seat conveying a serious, somewhat fearful look. Then, someone behind the camera makes a noise and the baby rolls over in uncontrolled hysterical laughter. I don’t usually laugh out loud at many forwards, but I exploded when watching it. The video had millions of views. After my co-workers asked me if I was alright after hearing my uncontrolled chuckles, I started to calm down and my smile started to fade as I started to think how it’s legal to kill babies if the procedure is done a mere months before the age of the babies in the video.
I sometimes feel that way after watching The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and then I start wondering how different his life would have been had he been adopted by Joseph Kony instead.
Fortunately by the time the commercials are over and Major Dad comes on, I’m cool again….

So he’d be okay with abortion if he didn’t find laughing baby spam amusing? Duly noted.
The whole “unborn child” thing and the maudlin crap that that stupid phrase inspires is one of the worst things in the whole abortion debate, second to forcing women to birth babies they don’t want of course.
Reading the thoughts of Justin Eidelbagger first made me smile, but then the smile faded as I realized how much happier we would be if only there was such a thing as retroactive birth control.
I haz a sad.
He must get severe headaches thinking about all of the baby-potentials that never lived. Either that or he’s just another RW hypocritical hack that could give a shit about the subject, except that’s what the current political talking frame is from the CCC (Conservative Command Central).
If this jerkoff (assuming ole’ Justin could even reach down and find it), would go to Wikipedia under the name Gerri Santoro, he would find her story just a laugh a minute, including the picture of her as found dead of a botched abortion in 1964.
These fools who probably don’t even have sex (see the comment above), just have no idea of what happens to a woman let alone what will happen to a woman when they and their similar jerkoffs in this society, succeed in revoking a woman’s right to control over her body.
This is just not funny!
I started to think how it’s legal to kill babies if the procedure is done a mere months before the age of the babies in the video.
“Unfortunately, I didn’t continue to consider that no-one in America forced anyone to abort a wanted child, except the Marianas sweatshops under the corrupt political protection of Republican kingpins Jack Abramoff and House Majority Leader Tom Delay — but that was just good business.”
OK just HAVE THE GODDAM BABY OK?. jus stop killing the poor innocent things. ITS MURDER OK?
What? Me? Why? No, no don’t leaVE THAT BABY ON MY PORCH COME BACK HERE YOU CANT DO THAT IM NOT GONNA ALLOW IT
AHHH SHIIIIT NOW WHAT THE FUCK AM I SPOSED TO DO WITH THIS FUCKIN THING?
Did I mention that I just really want to shake these people until they’re dizzy and fall down? Mostly because I do not want to live in Victorian England? And I REALLY DON’T WANT TO CEASE BEING AN AUTONOMOUS HUMAN BEING BECAUSE JULIAN JACKASS THINKS THAT SENSITIVE EQUATES TO COVERING THE PIANO LIMBS WITH DRAPERIES?
What is it? That to be teh popular conservatarded boyz these days, one has to break down and weep about teh wimminz having a mind & body of their own?? Get a frickin’ LIFE, ya loser!
Just imagine how sad Justin Miller must have felt when he saw all those young children murdered by the US Army sniper who went apeshit over in Afghanistan this past week. Or all those Iraqi babies killed by bombs dropped by US bombers back in the “shock and awe” times.
Oh wait – those kids worshipped the “wrong” God and were of a swarthier hue. Nothing to see here. Move along.
I’ll bet ol Justin is just a hoot at parties. Lithium would help.
Did anyone else see the crazy preacher who took over the floor of the Oklahoma House for 15 minutes (ok, well, yes he was invited…but 15 minutes!)? He gets about 10:30 of the way in, and starts “channeling” aborted babies, on the “crystal sea”…”Coochie coo!!!” Nucking futs.
I’ve got it posted over at my joint if you didn’t see it. (3weirdsisters)
There’s something going on with this people who are only able to feel empathy with people who never really existed, while being utterly unable to feel empathy with over half of the human race. Whatever that something is, it ain’t good.
They really are going medieval on us.
Who is clueless enough that he admits that he clicks on a link in a blank email, just a link? The next laughing baby he gets just might have worms.
Setting aside the main point of Justin’s emotionally stunted development, who in their right mind even opens links found in an email (even purportedly from a friend) that contains no text other than the link? If his computer still operates I’m guessing its only because the large collection of viruses are providing some sort of ersatz ‘operating system’.
There may be a horny coed/housewife within your (12 mile) area that wants to
have crazy republican sexmeet you! That’s why!TB, where the fuck do you find these
people, excuse me, morans?Peak Wingnut. It’s what’s for dinner. And breakfast and lunch and dessert.
Makes me an advocate for retroactive abortion.
By the way, here’s another one:
Apparently they can empathize with livestock before they’ll even consider empathizing with women.
Who the fuck is Justin Miller?
Don’t know who Justin Miller is, but he blogs at Live Action News. That’s Lila Rose’s coven of liars whose MO is making dishonest, heavily edited videos of their encounters with Planned Parenthood – always under false pretenses. Some years ago, Lila Rose pretended to be an underage pregnant teenager, trying to get abortions at Planned Parenthood clinics around the country. Her enterprise made her an anti-choice hero and her videos are available on YouTube.
Would you be surprised to learn that James O’Keefe worked with her on those videos?
heh…. Win!
only able to feel empathy with people who never really existed, while being utterly unable to feel empathy with over half of the human race.
Yeah, I’ve noticed this many times.
The fetus fetishists are pretty much the same crowd who hate gays, gather at the prison gates to cheer for capital punishment, and can always be relied upon to support the latest War du Jour, and regard spending money on foreign aid as waste.
They reserve all their compassion for fertilized eggs.
We on the other side have been too polite to call ‘em on their bullshit.
I’ll say this for the @#$%ing Catholic Church: they actually opposed the Iraq War on the same moral grounds as opposing abortion, which is more than any of these fetus fetishists ever did.
10+ fucking years of you shit-stains cheering on the deaths of hundreds of thousands.
FUCK YOU!
Garcon! Bring everyone a round of whatever owlbear1 is drinking!
(TIPPING GLASS) … and to you, my friend, may I say well done!
I’ll say this for the @#$%ing Catholic Church: they actually opposed the Iraq War on the same moral grounds as opposing abortion
…while covering up decades of child rape by their priests, which makes their moral grounds about as relevant as what was used to make my coffee this morning. Also, I don’t recall the good Bishops and Cardinals of the Church using their bullshit pulpit to demand that the Iraq war not take place with quite the same amount of passion and intensity as their current efforts to prevent insurance companies from giving their customers the coverage their customers want.
You are SO unfair to the Mother Church. The USSR and Red China (and, well, other institutions too) became hidebound, hypocritical, and only selectively true to their roots within decades (moments? YMMV) of their founding.
The Mother Church? It’s the ghost sitting crowned on the grave of the Roman Empire (Hobbes, pre-Tiger, represent!)
Not to mention, that I didn’t see the RC Church denouncing the War with Iraq with the intensity and fevor that I see them fighting having to admit to and change their pederast ways and/or provide financial compensation to those who were raped as children by Priests and Bishops, etc, worldwide for decades (if not for centuries).
