well, his wife had a double mastectomy so she couldn't...apparently men's milk has the same nutritional and antibiotic properties as any other human milk, so they just wanted what was best I suppose.

still a bit odd. to each their own, I guess.

Meh. Learned about this a while ago. There was an entire TV special about an aussie man who did this for both his children.

Red Green is awesome.

I'm sure that came across wrong. It does look like an incredibly happy child and father team. I'm amazed they were able to support that trek, but more power to them for it.
My point was just that not everything that the Chinese push on their kids is right. Just like (the lack of pushing) here. Just like the rest of the world.

I'm simply going off the fact that I KNOW several good people who have come here from china, and both them and their siblings were forced into gymnastics and diving respectively, and they hated it so much. It was never an option for them to quit. To quit would be shameful and that's something that most rural chinese find impossible to handle.

I agree-at least she isn't making blouses for walmart.

The fact that her father was able to go along with her on that run shows that he had enough money not to work those 55 days-something most Chinese people dont have. It's the people with enough money like that who tend to force their kids into sports the kids want no part of but continue to work in simply because they cant say no.

For the sake of happiness, let's just assume she's a little girl who loves to run and she's supported by donations given by her cheering onlookers.

Ugh. Happy medium between the US's fat and hideous children and the Chinese propaganda and forcing children into sports is what I think we need. We're not right. China's not right.

Yeah, looks more like a weedwhacker attacked them, not double ears.

I like the musk ox "I want to make out with you"

those are all over where i live, too (madison, WI)

nice change of pace, though I wouldn't want it every week

why on earth does she have so many small plastic chairs?

Wow, that was my first reaction too...old lady must have a lot of energy...of course it's possible to live with that many cats in a small space, but to keep it clean is entirely different.

Sure hope they're fixed.

eek, cut off comment.
@ Akiro-

trust me, not fake, my little cousin did that (while in my care, no less) by tripping while helping set the table and it looked exactly the same except he had 2 prongs impaled instead of 3.

Unfortunately he was at that phase (around 5 years old) that after he got over the pain he thought it was "way cool" he could get a fork through his nose and decided that if he could do it again without it hurting he would...luckily he hasn't tried.

Seems like it would poke ya a bit.
