how is this even remotely "cool" or "funny". what the fuck is wrong with people?

i don't post often. i just needed to vent. i find this disgusting.

1. I've seen those before, and worse

Someone should strap the parents to a chair and beat them with hammers.

4. I had a rude awakening yesterday

Search out "bum hunter" on youtube.

I was introduced to it by a younger family member, who thought it was the funniest thing ever. I went along, initially thinking it was to do with crude anatomical humor. It took me a few minutes to come to terms with what it was. Then it was shut off, with disaproval expressed.

I would have thought a young adult, who was kicked out of her last few residences, who is not homeless purely through our good will, would have greater empathy.

5. now that I am older and somewhat wiser I see it as a bad choice

but back when I was a kid "bum" or "hobo" was a common costume for us poor kids - a step up from a sheet with eyeholes cut out.
