EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!

WOMAN HAS 19 POUND BABY!!


Stop. Right. There.

There are many reasons why this should not be shouted from every street corner. For starters, pregnant women might hear you! Do you have ANY IDEA what this might do to them?

As if you even need another reason here are two words: Nadya Suleman. Oh, don't think some unmarried woman on welfare won't try to top it now that it is all over the news. [shudder!] Do we really need to be promoting poor pre-natal care? "But Doctor. I want gestational diabetes, a c-section, and 15 minutes of fame tooooo!"

And it is all because there is some marketing person somewhere in the US just drooling over the international opportunities awaiting his/her company if they could only tap the "freakishly large baby" market in Indonesia. They are stuffing the care packages full of free baby stuff right now. You know they are.
