IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME

Somebody is finally doing something about pinata-related violence.

I wrote a column about this once, but I have no idea how to find it. Maybe judi will find it and link to it, if she sobers up.

Perils of Pinatas. "A pinata is a festive party item, usually shaped like a classic fairy-tale character such as Spider-Man; it is used to traumatize children at birthday parties."

Well he's really hitting that thing with his stick. No, I did not just say that.

And the so-called United Nations does nothing.

Ooooohhhh - Pez!!

Instead of "having intercourse with a Pinata," why don't these people stick to picnic tables like normal perverts?

Ah...growing up as a Cuban child, I was always subjected to piñata violence. As a responsible parent, I did the same for mine. They turned out pretty OK.

(We did not hit our piñatas, we just pulled their guts out by yanking on festive colorful ribbons)

I like piñatas almost as much as I like clowns. Why do we do so many scary things to kids on their birthdays?

I am anti-piñata. But I wonder how many parents take a bat to the face the day after the party. Blame the piñata not bad parenting. (Oh, and he is not invited to my house. He might trip over his shoelace and sue me.)

At first I wondered why Obama appointed Leon Pinata to head the CIA.

[Allen at Division]

So, Siouxie, you trained your kids to yank on dangly bits to disembowel things and treats came out?...
