Where are they now? Why, right here.

Steve Martin Tweeted this picture of himself with some old friends. Just in case you don't recognize everyone, it's Dan Akroyd, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, Martin Short, Paul Simon, Tom Hanks, and Lorne Michaels. There is some speculation that these guys were assembled to induct Justin Timberlake into the Five-Timers Club tonight on Saturday Night Live. Link -via reddit

If I ever produced a video this funny, you can guarantee that I would promote my own website on it.

But even though my own children mispronounced words in the same funny way, I wouldn't put them on the internet doing it. They grow up too fast.

This is from an established mommyblogger with a good-sized following. I entertained the idea that this story is probably embellished and/or exaggerated, but probably has a grain of truth. And even if it is totally fake, I wouldn't care much, because it's still funny.

Anyway, she posted a followup in which she invites parents to share the odd names their kids give to toys, and has over 100 comments.

Equally "offensive" but a lot harder to argue that it's fake. And not a hint of an agenda.
The "video" from this post is just pictures with a funny caption and then saying they were made up by a child. And promoting a website.

- It is promotion for a website (as was the first comment here curiously).

- "Designed" to cause a stir, go viral (or hope to), get attention.

- Video is trivially easy to make (but offers no proof whatsoever that it is real).

- Kids don't do that kind of thing, not to that extent.

- Unverifiable.

The whole thing just rubs me the wrong way, what can I say.
(But you're right that I just think this is fake, I am not 100% certain.)
