"Assteroid: Countdown to Disasster" (Heh) Poster by Jeff Victor
Oh, where would this blog be without our beloved bathroom humor?
Jeff Victor of Wicked Crispy (previously on Neatorama) challenged himself to create movie-related artwork every day for 30 days. For day number 2 ... 2 (ahem, twenty two), he created this gem: a parody poster of an apocalyptic B-movie, Assteroid.

For today's challenge, the idea was to make your own B-Movie poster. I chose to imitate the classic Irwin Allen style disaster pic that was really popular in the 70's, and load it with as many terrible butt jokes as possible. Gotta keep it classy. (Or is that gassy?)
Ba dum ... BUM chssh!

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.
- "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.)
And good luck with the tanning btw.
(PS: I call shenanigans on this whole thing.)
