The New York Times runs an article about how diapers are now being sold to the dad who has "diaper duty." They want to somehow appeal to men by giving us Drew Brees throwing out a baseball pitch or one of the losers from Good Charlotte at a daddy/baby party.
I'm going to be honest and say that I don't want to see other dads pitching me diapers. I want to see a cute mom having to deal with the issue. If I want to see a dad changing a diaper, I can look in the mirror behind the changing table. He's there and he's in smell-o-vision. Gimme a mom that has a clue since I know that a guy pretty much grabbed the closest thing that appears to be working.
I especially don't want to see the payola induced fraud from Good Charlotte with his baby. He's half of a Johnny Bravo when marketing decided they could be pitched as punk to the nation's youth and a ton of money to radio programmers to play their nearly forgettable tunes. They could at least find somebody who isn't having his baby's mama use raising their baby as the excuse for not finishing their DWI rehab program on time. If he's such a great dad, why can't she leave her house for those critical alcohol education programs?
I will be leaving the house on Thursday night to see Dr. No. Shame the baby is too young to appreciate the time Sean Connery faced off against Jack Lord.
