Wow: http://www.dfw.com/mld/startelegram/news/local/5645241.htm

Simply put, a teen was shooting potatoes out of his potato gun. Then he put a frog in it. Then he looked down the barrel and shot himself in the face with a frog, blinding him.

Mom said: "I never thought any toy a child could order would wound my child like that."

No mention of how she was stupid enough to raise a kid who A) looks down the barrel of a loaded cannon or B) kills frogs for fun.

"The frog hit him with a force more than a gun," [the mother] said.

No, idiot mother of an idiot son, it him with the exact force of a gun.

What inspires anybody to look down the barrel of a loaded gun, I cannot say.

see. I swear we've reversed darwinism... the stupid sue, get rich, procreate, create more stupids, who prefer to absolve all personal responsibility under the belief that the government and companies will protect them. (or at least make them rich)

I am at a loss for words.

She stated it blew his eyelids off.

The she said if it cries his eyes burn.

Does anyone else find that just really odd?

Let's hope the poor lad is uncircumcised. They could operate and use his foreskin for new eyelids. But then, he'd be cockeyed.

"I never thought any toy a child could order would wound my child like that."

A "child" is 17 years old. He's theoretically one year away from being legally adult and living independently. Scary.

Poor frog.

the mother seems to also ignore the part where it says if he had use a potato he'd be dead. she should stop whining about his eyes stinging.
