		<description>Whoa, some of you guys need to calm the hell down. It was a JOKE; yes, in somewhat poor taste, but funny nonetheless. DOB stated several times in the article that doing this is actually very stupid and will get you executed, let alone arrested. Well, that&#039;s kind of obvious, but still. Cracked is actually (in my opinion at least) a pretty damn funny little website that gets looked down on because it started as a crappy ripoff of MAD magazine. Well, the website is different. Check it out, but only if you can take a joke without hoping the feds will arrest whoever told the joke.</description>

		<description>Cracked sucks, it has always sucked. This indeed sounds like a desperate move for attention. They should have given up decades ago.</description>

		<description>Whoa, people are sensitive. :)

Of course you can joke about serious things. That&#039;s probably the best use of it, since it allows us to reflect on matters in a light heartened fashion.

When will people get it? Just because you&#039;re offended by something someone says doesn&#039;t make the other person wrong, and you don&#039;t have a right to do anything about what other people says.
This sort of BS gave us &quot;hate crime&quot; laws and other nonsense.</description>

Now they&#039;re just asking for trouble.</description>

		<description>yes, its very raw and somewhat dark humor, but that&#039;s all it is. 

anyone who gets bent way out of shape over this should stop surfing the net. -if only because you obviously have no control over your emotions (an emotional level of a child) and have no clue about &quot;perspective&quot; or it&#039;s use in the grand scheme of things.

That being said, the timing and release of this article is not only highly suspect, but may have grave results for free speech.

This article is almost THE PERFECT &quot;weapon&quot; the lunatics in congress that pushed the Hate Crime Bill (HR 1913) through the house, need to get it passed.

I can easily see the froth forming around the mouths of the MSM / Lobby whores who cant wait to run this article &#039;til it makes your ears bleed.

I hope it amounts to nothing, but since it&#039;s main subject contains the &quot;Golden Formula&quot; -the ever popular &quot;innocent children&quot;, -i really cannot see those pushing for HR 1913, passing up exploiting this baby.

Its shocking, outrageous and can be hyped up as being immoral and putting not only the presidents kids in danger..but more importantly, &quot;all the innocent children everywhere&quot;

Somebody bury this article fast. If the MSM and political / lobby whores get a hold of it, HR 1913 will pass with flying colors and free speech (and humor) will be doomed until we have a revolution against the current out of control congress.

(which hopefully will happen before 2010 elections)

i hope i&#039;m completely off on 
this one

		<description>Personally, I think kids should be off the agenda for the media. And, for the record, the media did spend some time going after the Bush girls.

Someone will take this article for an instruction manual. Maybe one of those new high school grads in Louisiana.

I&#039;m betting the SS is on the way...</description>

		<description>&quot;I wonder whether the so called liberal media will go ape-shit over this little piece of satire?&quot;

I think this posting has already made more of it, than the so-called &quot;liberal press&quot; will bother doing. And BTW, WHAT LIBERAL PRESS? Aren&#039;t all the newspapers and Tv networks pretty much owned by a few Republican obsessed conglumerates?  The 1% that are &quot;liberal&quot; are a spit in the wind, against the rest. So even when they do sound off. You&#039;re not likely to hear them, unless you subscribe to them on purpose. I would have loved to hear Al Franken talk on the radio, before he finally got elected to office. But no stations in my area, would carry the &quot;liberal&quot; media. And I understand such broadcasts only can be heard on a handful of stations across the US. That, out of the thousands of Republican controlled stations, that carry Limbaugh and other such media stooges.</description>

		<description>@deowll

first of all let me say that I thought David letterman was out of line too, you just don&#039;t use peoples kids for material. But you have to admit that this is an order of magnitude more distasteful than Letterman&#039;s crumy joke. Isn&#039;t possible that one could think Letterman&#039;s joke harmless and this tripe dangerous? 

Secondly, who&#039;s the hypocrite? Is there someone who specifically condoned Letterman that is now dispariging this cracked article?  Or are you just picking sides?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m glad to see that people will stand up for Obama&#039;s kids. I mean that. 

The question is why some maggots that now are willing to stand up for that which is right thought the statement about Palin&#039;s daughter was good clean fun.

There is a word for that kind of behavior: hypocrite.</description>

		<description>I was surprised SN did not mention the Bush twins.  I believe it was generally known that any but the most cursory mention of them before they graduated from college could/would land that publication in the Bush&#039;s doghouse.  And since Bush had very big, well connected, filthy rich supporters willing to carry water for him, that doghouse could be extremely inhospitable.</description>

		<description>Obama&#039;s response is meaningless. It&#039;s the Secret Service aka the SS, that decides if they go apeshit. They investigate every threat, parody or not.</description>

		<description>SN you must not have children of your own or you wouldn&#039;t think this is funny. If you do have children I&#039;m sorry ... for them.

Not only is this in poor taste, it definitely teeters on the edge of illegality.  As BigBoyBC said, enjoy your visit with the Secret Service O&#039;Brien.

Congratulations to Cracked for doubling their readership to 2 with this publicity attempt, and to you SN for riding their coat tales.</description>
