Father's Day

In honor of Father's Day, here's a little something that's been peeving me for quite some time. That's putting it lightly.

Has anyone else seen these ads on the subway - the ones that encourage young, basically deadbeat fathers to stay involved in the life they created instead of just being a sperm donor?

If you haven't, you can see them here. And then proceed to blow your brains out. Or the brains of the nearest male of reproducing age. Or at least seriously contemplate eugenics.

This is fucking ridiculous. Are you for serious, New York City?

Even though I could be wrong about this, I'm pretty sure I'm lacking the maternal instinct. As in any of it. But if someone put me in charge of a baby or a toddler, I don't need to be told that I need to listen to the kid's needs and spend time with it. What's next? Hey, asshole, don't forget to feed the baby.

Are people really this lobotomized? Men really need to be told that they can't just bust a nut and bounce? Women, though, too are retarded, but that's a different story.

Doesn't this nullify the concept of Father's Day? We might as well call it be Sperm Donor Day. Or, Thanks for Fucking Me Without a Condom Day. Or, Surprise! It's Yours! Day. Hallmark can have a blast with this. Papyrus also, if you're feeling classy.

The fact that so many people who shouldn't procreate, do, is very upsetting. Children, like other things, should be a privilege, not a right. Just because you have the capacity to reproduce doesnt' mean you should take advantage of it. Especially if you need to be told to listen to your child and you know, be a semi-decent role model.

To all of the fathers who aren't a sack of shit or a sack of sperm and who don't need a subway ad to give you pointers on fatherhood - to all of them who care about their children and perform little, seemingly insignificant gestures (like my dad, love you) - Happy Father's Day. You are the ones who deserve to be recognized.
