The Writing Is On The Wall You Slags
Weird title, yay!
Anyway, I was sitting down yesterday after finishing work, and I noticed a copy of ‘The Citizen’ on the table across from me. Now normally I don’t read that paper, it’s the local paper for the Gloucestershire area and is basically filled with whining old people and local news of no real importance that nobody gives two fucks about. But as I had nothing else to do, reading boring shit was preferable to speaking to the complete morons who I happen to work alongside.
Now as I was flicking through, a story caught my eye; the title read ‘Mother outraged at sons arrest over chocolate bar graffiti” … that really was the headline. Now the mind boggles, chocolate graffiti? What the hell is that? Turns out some kid was arrested after he daubed his ‘nickname’ over a wall using chocolate. How that is even possible, I’m not quite sure, but what really got me, was that his mother, had contacted this paper. Told them about it, and then talked him in to posing for a photo with her (where he quite comically held a chocolate bar towards the camera). How humiliating would that be? First being stupid enough to vandalize a wall with a chocolate bar but then agreeing to have a picture taken for the local paper admitting you did it? Broadcasting your stupidity? The little bastard deserved to be arrested and he certainly deserves the shit he’s going to get when he goes to school tomorrow morning.
Now as I flicked a few pages more, I came to a second story; this time the picture, not the title, caught my eye. The picture showed 4 women, in a line, and one of them holding a baby. The story was about the fact that some obviously inbred familys are proud that due to a 17 year old getting pregnant and having a child, they now have 5 generations of their family alive at one time. Again; WHY WOULD YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THIS? This child had been born to a 17 year old mother, who in turn had a mother who was only 32, meaning she was at the most 15 when she had her, her mother was 51, meaning she was 19 when she had her child, and her mother was 72, again meaning she was just 20 when she gave birth. All of those 4 women, were in my opinion, too young to have children when they did. And they want to spread this around? They want people to know they don’t know much about contraception? How low standards they have?
As my friend rather eloquently put it when I told him of this; “Stupid slags, need to learn to keep their legs together” Although I disagree with his wording, I can’t help but agree.
Local media; bringing horribly retarded inbreds to your attention.
Chocolate bar graffiti? o.0
Early pregnancies? o.0
The media is fucked up in your general area, I must say.
Have sex and write your name with chocolate, we’ll put it in the newspaper!
God what a neighborhood that must be.
Inbreds and chocolate
Lovely mix.
They should be spending the chocolate money on condoms instead.
My family has a 5 generation photo, and not all of them had “early pregnancies.”
My great-grandmother turned 90 in September. My grandmother is turning 66 in December. My mother turned 40 in September. And my sister turned 17 in October. They all have at least one child.
That means my great-grandmother was around 25 when she had my grandmother, my grandmother was about 25 when my mother was born, my mother was about 23 when my sister was born (and 15 months later I was born), and my sister had a kid at 16 and 7 months.
The only person who messed up was my sister, and it’s something even I had trouble dealing with because I’m only 15 months younger than she is. I was paranoid about those types of things for months and it still is a sensitive topic.
You are right in some aspect, five generations does look like it’s pushing it. But my great-grandmother is 90 and has no medications she needs, only started walking with a cane last year, and lived 20 miles from the closest relative until two years ago when she moved in with my grandparents and sold her old farm house. What my point is here is that she may live to be 95, 100, who knows–and even then that still gave my sister time to reach 20, the age I think is the lowest decent one for becoming a mother. So in that case, five generations would have been perfectly fine. But of course, my sister screwed that up XD
