Just...watch this.

I don't know if I'm horrified or "FUCK YEAH! NATURE!" Either way, I laughed, probably because of the slow-mo at the end.

I feel like this could be a business opportunity.

Eagle protection pour les bebes.

CAN'T. STOP. WATCHING.

They're saying it's a fake now, but this is the only "evidence":

The kid seems to go back up a tiny bit after the bird lets go, but it almost looks like the bird was stuck on a lace. I dunno. A lot of people aren't buying it as a hoax.

Looks real to me. *shrugs*
An eagle will snatch a lamb, won't it? Why not a kid?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

It's a fake: http://www.globaltoronto.com/eagle+attacks+child+in+montreal+park/6442775064/story.html

Cats and small dogs get taken by eagles all the time, and eagles attacking kids, while rare, is something that happens. As far as I can tell, anyone who thinks it's real and finds it funny is a fucking sociopath. Seriously? WTF. Since it's a fake maybe they can get their jollies watching someone burn their kid with cigarettes instead.

Maybe there are some hilarious shark and bear attack videos on Youtube too.

Or some super-funny hurricane videos where trailers get all whipped to pieces while screaming families huddle in the corner.

I guess that growing up somewhere where kids actually get mauled to death by wild animals occasionally, it doesn't come across as hilariously improbable to me.

Nigel, you're just not serious about the 21st century.  Hell, people now STAGE real accidents for their kids, so they can go on America's Funniest Home Videos and maybe WIN THE PRIZE!  You DO like prizes, don't you?  Sure.  Everyone does.  And if Little Billy has to wear a neck brace for a few months, or go to therapy, well, that will toughen him up.  The whole family will look back on it and laugh, later.  Maybe Little Billy's laugh will be the kind of laugh you hear Lennie make in Of Mice & Men, but he'll laugh.

*EDITED*

Roger got to America's Funniest Home Videos before I did. And better.

Guess I can try to work up something about When Animals Attack!

Have you read Jennifer Government yet?

Needless to say, the past week has had me thinking about it, a lot.

It's a fast read. 

And a little funny, and a little chilling.

I'm kind of relieved it's a fake, god only knows the injuries to the kid if it were real, but still, I'll admit it got me.

And it was the inclusion of Chariots of Fire that made me laugh, much like putting D-Day to Yakety Sax.

The students - who were doing a degree in 3D animation and digital design - had come up with the idea after a brainstorming session, completing the project in seven weeks, she said.

"It's a challenge... they wanted to test their skills," Ms Guevremont said.

She added that the bird and the child seen being snatched were all computer generated imagery (CGI), and the only real things in the video were the park, the boy (after being dropped on the ground) and his father comforting him.

That is actually kind of awesome, and SHOULD be a real eye opener going forward


RIGHT?




I SAID, RIGHT YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!?
