It's like we're living in a satire of the world we used to have.→[More:]

Maybe this will turn out to be a hoax story. If not, I'm cancelling Newsweek and subscribing to The Onion.

"Flat Daddy," would be a great name for a rapper. I'm just saying.

Fuck me dead.

Fuck me dead.

Imagine me sitting here blown away thinking "Fuck me dead."

I've tricked several people by that. They think he's home again.

Why do I sense that's not true. I'd like to think people are smarter than that. Of course, I'd also like to think that people don't need a flat daddy cut-out either.

That is really fucking weird.

"It's to remind the kids that this guy and this woman is still part of your life, that this is what they look like, and this is how big they are."

How big they are? What in the hell?!

God, that's sad.

Very sad. What do they think they're doing to those poor kids? I'm thinking the 14 year old is humiliated.

Please let this be a joke, please please please.
