Since I've become a father, I've gotten ticked off about some things much more easily.
Like the fact far too many idiots still have legal custody of their children.
When you have the mindset that a child is a status accessory like a Lexus or an annual trip to Cozumel, bad things can happen. Take a look-see at the current condition of American society, for starters. When you're an eccentric reclusive multi-millionaire who sleeps in an oxygen chamber, has a chimp for a best friend, lives in a place called "Neverland" and spends millions to make molestation charges go away--well, worse things are in the offing.
Norm MacDonald said it best in a 1996 SNL News Update:
"And, yes, it is true, Michael Jackson is going to be a father. Already he has hired an entire staff of nannies, nurses and extra bodyguards, which hopefully will protect the child from Michael Jackson."
Apparently it's not working.

Be reasonably civil. Ire alloyed with reason is fine. But slagging the host gets you the banhammer.
