What about Wilbaer?

This is more like it. Although the Pa-sickie video was not as horrible and frightening as I thought it would be, judging by the comments. I don't like babies, but this was a good quiet one. I mustered up the courage to watch it, expecting the kid to scream in a high-pitched voice, but he just whispered "pa-si-ki". If only all babies were this well behaved. A kid that quiet deserves to be on this site.

Methinks "Shoutin' John" must work for the Colbert Report.

Haha, I love how Meg and Theo dealt with the dramz. Puuuuure class, people. Puuuuure class.

And, for the record, I *just* finished reading the pasickie comments. It took me THREE DAYS of furtively tabbing back to the page as soon as coworkers weren't around (at one point I copied the text into a very official-looking Excel file). Tewtally worth it, too.

If you did happen to like that video, I have two more for ya (one of which was mentioned in the midst of COMMENTROVERSY: 2008) - go to YouTube and search for "Charlie bit me" and "Buhlud." Holy cow. Hilair.

Now, back to gazing at today's CO posts. Ahhhh...gggghhhh...drool....aggghhhhh....

I mostly lurk.

All I have to say about the human baby "controversy" is that Cute Overload has never limited itself strictly to animal cuteness. Did everyone forget about the Product Cuteness category? Not everything in that section is about animals: some of it it just about food.

So yeah, Pa-sickie may be the first straight up cute human post but it isn't the first non-animal post. It's way to late to complain about that.

Besides, they've always kept the standards for cute pretty high around here. I doubt the site is going to be overrun with every YouTube video that just happens to have a baby in it. Give them some credit. They've always done an excellent job.

Could Flocke's ears be *any* cuter? I don't think so!

Wow, polar bears grow damn fast, don't they? Must be all those delicious omega-3 fatty acids and suchlike. Seems like yesterday these two were just little things.

OH...by the way...

Why doesn't CO just shut down comments? Theo, you can't be that much of a masochist!

Commenting in its current, repetitive, vapid state adds nothing to the site, except amusing/appalling insight into how acrimonious certain folk are.
Why can't we ever discuss actual pertinent information unless it's subjective opinion ("OMG CUUUUTE!" 400 times) or whining that won't change anything (GO POST ON AN ACTIVISM SITE AND DO SOME GOOD, DON'T CAUSE FIGHTS HERE!)? We're all grown women and men here!

As for youtube vids, comment at the original page *where the original poster will see your comments.* We can't do anything about your pearl-gripping indignation here.

Meg? Theo? Keep up the GOOD WORK. Love the site, hate the FANS.

Why should people be ashamed to say they hate babies? Everyone is entitled to their likes and dislikes.

I definitely like bears, yay!
