baby animal abusers: second verse, same as the first
Ah, infant formula wank. No, not the infant formula scandal. I mean the equation for surefire wank on Cute Overload:
human child in picture = OMG NOT CUTE EVIL STUPID BAYBEE
It's a pretty simple formula, but the results here are deliciously tainted with melamine.

It's another Asian infant chomping on a puppy. Racewank is happily avoided for the most part, though, so you can relax.

I can't go through all 256 comments right now, but here's a few skimmed off the top:

This one is probably a joke: Who will end up with the personality complex? The baby who didn't know any better and must eat puppy faces or the puppy who will forever need to be inside someone's mouth!

Well, thanks for justifying this with your ovaries: While I am female, I do NOT think babies are cute - unless they have fur and tails. The furless ones just grow up to hate you anyway.

According to my breastfeeding friends, it's a lot more than that: Babies sorta suck sometimes.

This is your chance for internet glory: Last I looked, CuteButNotBabiesOverload.com did not exist.

It's our responsibility as intarweb police!: Enough with the pudding comments. When the picture is obviously this disturbing, people have a right and a duty to comment on just how awful it is.

And here's the thread on the LJ feed. First comment is "in before wank". But we do have this lovely poem:
it is not cute
and it is not ok
the puppy is probably hurting
picture the cutest monkey holding your baby by the head
and then someone even bigger thaking a picture of it
the monkey doesn't know the baby is hurting
but it doesn't make it ok

And, for the sake of sanity:
But, for the hell of all you people who think that baby is messed up in the head, lets beat the hell out of the baby for doing what she knows to do, which is...

Edit: CO now has more than one poster and the poster of the above was actually "Not That Mike the Other Mike." Not to be outdone, Meg has upped the stakes by posting an image of adult human women. And filed them under "primates." Ahahahahahahaha. I <3 you Meg. (Wank, natch.)

More taxonomy wank, plz. Thanks to exit_chrysalis for linking us. (There's also people talking about BSG, Torchwood and Firefly in the comments; the wank streams have crossed!)

	Well, I have seen mother dogs carry puppies around with the puppy's head entirely inside their jaws. If a baby is going to pick up a puppy, the head is probably the safest appendage to grip. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I have grabbed an lifted a puppy by the tail and he had no lasting ill effects. I also don't think that at this stage head grabbing is going to hurt it. (long story- said puppy was a friend's, he escaped from his enclosure, wandered onto a two story balcony and was just jumping off the edge when I managed to grab his tail and haul him back to safety)

Were I the caregiver, however, I would be more concerned about the puppy nipping the kid than snapping a picture.

	Fair enough: I have a particular horror of degloving injuries, and once heard of one resulting from picking up a mouse that way. I'm pretty certain the story was apocryphal, since that is the recommended way to pick up mice, but I haven't really managed to entirely disbelieve it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Well, it's definitely a danger, but unless the puppy has a pre-existing condition that weakened the skin, a few seconds held less-than-ideally aren't going to hurt it.

That said, personally if I was the caregiver I would have been trying to get the puppy away from the baby instead of snapping the picture. Mostly because that seems like a good way to get your baby bitten in the face.
