It's not TV, it's Birth Control

They will be having a show soon where teenagers who want babies have to borrow a baby or toddler in order to see what it is like. I was doing something else at the time and didn't bother to write anything down, so I don't remember the name of the show (although I'm watching that channel right now so I'll probably get to see the commercial for it again), but the last thing it said was "It's not TV... It's BIRTH CONTROL!"

Just more proof that each generation is exponentially more stupid than the last.

When I was a teen, having a kid was NOT even on my mind at all. Wanted no parts of it. Despite that, I knew having a kid was something you didn't do until you were MUCH older and established financially.

theres one in the uk called the baby borrowers

I think that's it, "Baby Borrowers" or some similar sounding title.. Not surprising that it's ripped off from the UK, but it's not a very original idea in the first place. They were bound to get around to making a TV show out of it, especially with the writers' strike and all...

For some years the school systems out my way have given students in a certain grade one of those robotic infant dolls that randomly cries and then must be "fed", "changed", etc. The idea is to make the kyds realize what hard work a real sprog would be. It doesn't seem to stop said kyds from getting knocked up anyway, though...

I've even heard how many of the little cunts-in-training will just dump the doll screechling on their mothers when they want to go out and run the streets rather than keep it with them 24/7 as the school assignment stated. This idea may have worked years ago but not now with the entitlement-minded generation of today's teens.
