THE WORLD IS FULL OF HORROR AND DOGS WANT TO EAT YOUR BABY!!!!!!
Cute and wank: proportional? Sometimes.
I've been studiously avoiding posts on CuteOverload and such about Knut, the baby polar bear that some animal rights activists want dead, because nothing good can come of that. So I entered the word "cute" into StumbleUpon and clicked, hoping to find some uncontroversial cute.
My very first stumble is a series of photos of a mastiff and a human infant.

Seriously. Its great that it became a ‘cute series of pictures’ but it could have been easily been evidence in a manslaughter case instead.

You’re right this is unhygienic. Do you know how sick that dog could get from licking a baby?

It makes me sick that there’s a whole generation people that are too pansy to enjoy cute photos. in conclusion, I killed Nazis with my bare hands.

Baby’s are very frail creatures, puppies much less so. One playful nuzzle from the dog could easily seriously injure the baby for life. Which is great because it adds quite a bit of suspense to an otherwise trivial series of photos. Quite a thrill right up to the end.

One of the best ways of training a dog, particularly a large dog – is when they do something wrong – you hold them and place your kneck and head over theirs and hold that position for a few seconds – true! I’m a dog - I know!

Babies typically carry lots of nasty diseases and will attack anything that moves quickly or makes a noise.

Second, babies are HARDLY fragile. You could probably bounce a baby like a basketball and it would be fine (and NO I am not advocating this, simply exaggerating to make a point) because babies and kids have the cellular rejuvenation skills of a gecko tail. They can heal within minutes.

And so on and so on for 150 comments, with all the evolutionary psychology you can eat!

ETA: The same set of pictures on CO. The comments there are more serious business and there's a lot more of them to wade through, but there's still some choice niblets. My favorite is the guy who commented "While you shmucks are worried about a baby crushing/eating dog there are 13 year old females suffering genital mutilation in several countries overseas." Oh dear. In the time I took to type this post, I could have saved 3.2 girls from FGM. Why are you reading this post when you could be stamping out rape/AIDS/drugs/halitosis? Don't you care about FREEDOM?

As a former baby who decided it would be a good idea to dive head-first at the concrete from a high chair, I can vouch for the truth of this statement.

I turned out OK in the end.

(Although being dropped on the head as a child might explain a few things. My fondness for Van Helsing, perhaps, or the fact that the bulk of my fanfic output has been Roman poets having gay sex.)

Writing Catullus slash is the clearest sign of an intelligent mind!

Lnkplz? Everytime I think fanfic ideas can't get any hotter, I'm proven wrong.

Part 1

Part 2

That's as far as I ever got. I think because I hated the love interest. *sigh*

Ooh, thank you! That vastly improved my day. Now I really want to write Cicero/Catullus with "Lesbia" as voyeur fic because I'm a ginormous Latin nerd.

I AM FORCED TO USE CAPSLOCK IN ORDER TO PROPERLY CONVEY MY ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT FOR THIS IDEA!

There is no Cicero slash in the world, as far as I can tell. This is a damned shame. At the very LEAST he must have been banging his secretary. I mean, come on, people.

I am totally not pimping out classics slash fandom, nosiree.

The Greeks shouldn't get to have all the fun.

Hey, I remember you! I wrote some Romulus/Remus once upon a time that you commented on. And you have that awesome Horace "Mei elegi convocant omnes puellas in atrium" icon.

Classics slash FTW!

You're a Classicist and an Exalted fan?

Do I know you from somewhere, or are you just my sekrit twin seperated at birth?

Are you on LJ? That is where I know most internet people from. I also hang around some forums.

....sayyy, I think I recognize your art. Do you post on the Freedom Stone forums? I lurk there but I haven't registered yet.

Hahaha. So you're not her, but you are another one. That's beautiful.

We might be secret twins. I mean, I might have one. I've never thought to check. Who gets to be the evil one?

Heh. Yeah, I've been reading the forums for ages -- mainly the fanart and fanfiction bits, because Exalted is the only RPG in which it's actually loads of fun to read about other people's characters :D Oh, I actually filled out the form whatsit to register for the forums a while ago, got an automatically generated email saying to wait for mod conformation, and then nothing ever happened. Do you know what's up with that? This was probably a month ago.

Just curious :P
