    Bad Medicine, anybody?

    want to trade liver for alcohol

  6. Leaving an 11 year old in charge isn’t going to be a Bed of Roses.

    • jam says:

      Have some optimism. You have to keep the faith.

    • Miguel Jackson says:

      Atleast he won’t have the H1N1 virus

      • The piggy plague is NOT THAT BAD, had it.

        • ABC says:

          It still is bad, did kill others you know…

          • Yes, mainly those with underlying previous health issues.

            • Arthur Eld says:

              I was slightly worried about the swine flu before I read that each year the “normal” flu kills about 10.000 people – in my country alone. From that moment on I wasn’t too woried anymore.

              • Yup, the statistics speak for themselves on this one, which is worrying for numbers to do.
                *hides behind the sofa*

                • Black Garnets, the fanged werebunny, developer of amusement park for short people. says:

                  It’s also being reported that people with swine flu and no other health issues are typically recovering just like any other strain of flu.

                  • Yup, you feel crappy as hell for about a week, and that is about it.

                    • Ryannon says:

                      My son got it and is getting over it. He was quarantined for a week in his barracks and now is back to work.

                      • Ms B ♥ says:

                        It sucks. It’s no fun. But it’s not the end of the world. At least for me and mine.

                        • Sgt. Obvious says:

                          Yeah, the “catch it and your dead” was mostly people mocking it early on, not the actual scientists. In practice, if you catch it, it’s basically just having a really bad flu. It’s a brutal one, but it’s not much more fatal than the normal kind. The danger comes from the GREATLY increased risk of catching it, as nobody has any resistance yet. That said, if someone’s going to die of it, it would be a child (much lowered immune system), so this FAIL is still horrifying.

                        • Hoobs says:

                          My son (6) was one of the first, the doctors came out to the house in gowns and face masks, scared my little man silly. They then started diagnosing over the phone. Hope the scare mongering doesn’t happen when it hits again in the winter. He had the tamiflu, felt rubbish for about a week, then fine.

                        • UnhappyVegemite says:

                          Agreed I had it and it gave me terrible joint pain for a week, a mildly sore throat and a cough that I didn’t shake for a couple of weeks. But apart from that it was fine. In fact it just replaced my normal flu. At least it’s summer now though :)

                  • Evangaelion says:

                    I don’t care what people say. It is not “just like the regular flu.”

                    I had it. I went from a cough and feeling bad to having bronchitis that was pushing pneumonia in 3 days. It cost me (with health insurance) $300 in medication, $300 in doctor’s visits, and a week and a half out of work. I was still not really well when I went back to work, but I couldn’t afford to miss any more. It took 4 weeks to really feel like I was recovering, and 7 weeks before the doctor told me my bronchial tubes were clear.

                    The flu doesn’t do that. Sorry to steal everyone’s calm with a dose of reality. Also, kids are more likely to die than adults are. That woman needs to have the kids taken away, badly.

                    • dawnieangel76 says:

                      Well, it’s possible you already HAVE some conditions you’re not sharing, or not aware of. You may have asthma or allergies, and are most likely a smoker if you went into bronchitis & pneumonia so quickly.

                      I get B & P every year because of my asthma, so when I get the ‘normal’ flu, I get bad-sick for nearly a month too.

                      Besides, I don’t trust too many vaccines & preventatives. We have an immune system for that reason; to build up immunity. Relying on too many preventatives renders our immune system all but useless, and THAT is why we sicken easily & die more often.

                      • concernedCitizen says:

                        Good lord, ignorance is dangerous. The reason vaccines work at all is because of your immune system. You get a shot that contains a deactivated specimen of the virus people are worried about. Your immune system sees the virus and says, “uh oh, better take care of this!” and starts producing antibodies for that virus. Then, when the real, full strength virus shows up you’ve got the antibodies all ready to go.

                        You’re never completely “immune” to any virus. If you’ve been vaccinated you catch it, and your body kills it quickly enough you don’t notice. If you haven’t been vaccinated you catch it, your body takes its time figuring out what’s going on, and in the meantime the virus has had time to do some damage.

                        Now, please, defeat ignorance and fear by spreading this info wherever necessary.

                        Thanks.

                        • Redazrael says:

                          On the other hand, a vaccination — while comparatively safer than actually becoming sick — offers resistance to one particular strain for about a year or two, at most. Catching the virus in the regular way and having your body fight that off is far riskier, it’s true, but it also gives you a resistance to that strain and a possible resistance to very similar strains for a lot longer — up to twenty years.

                          So, really, for the average healthy human being, it’s a bit of a toss-up when it comes to illnesses that are very unlikely to kill them. Personally, considering I’m part of a very low-risk demographic when it comes to H1N1, I’m letting the people who need the vaccine get theirs — and if I get sick, I’m going to do what everyone who catches a contagious disease should do: stay home until I recover.

                          That aside, children are NOT a low-risk demographic. They’re right up there with the elderly and the immunocompromised in the group of those who need the vaccine most. This woman horrifies me.

                    • Black Garnets, the fanged werebunny, developer of amusement park for short people. says:

                      No one is saying it’s so simple. But to the extent where we are made to feel like we have to live in a bubble and will die without this shot, that is an extreme that people are disproving naturally.

                    • More Informed says:

                      Yes, influenza DOES get as bad as you’re describing. That’s why people die from it. Silly person.

                    • Jaime says:

                      Yes, people have gotten very sick from both the seasonal flu and the swine flu, and some did die. The people who got it bad or died where those who had other issues before hand; the elderly, the very young, some pregnant women, and others with already compromised immune systems.

                      I worked in a hospital clinic during the peak of the swine flu season, September and October. Any one who had flu like symptoms during that time weren’t even allowed to come in to the clinic until they had a fever for more than four days or the cough was really bad in their chest. Otherwise those who called in to our office were told by our doctors to stay home because those who had come in (many) all had the H1N1 virus.
                      The peak season for the seasonal flu is around the middle of January. Anyone who has had flu like symptoms to this point has already had the swine flu. For the most part, from now until the end of the regular season, most people are not in danger of H1N1.
                      Both suck, and both can be very serious if not fatal, but for most typically healthy people will live through it no worse for the ware.
                      I also admit that I am not a proponent of most vaccines. I have not had the flu in at least ten+ years, and have never had an d never plan to get a flu shot. I will have my children vaccinated for things, but only with the preservative free kinds.
                      I will not comment on this woman’s parenting skills because I have no children of my own and I have no right.

            • Tempest says:

              Actually, the issue with H1N1 is that it kills percentage wise more people in the healthy 15-30 range, people with no underlying health problems. The issue is that the immune system is so strong and robust, it goes in for overkill and literally rips apart the lungs. You have less of a chance of these types of complications if you are 30+ or have a slightly less strong immune system. That is what makes H1N1 unique.

              I had it, and it put me out for more than a week. I developed bronchitis that turned into pneumonia. I had shortness of breath and chest pains, and it was nasty as hell.

            • ABC says:

              It often killed many of those that didn’t usually die from the flu, and most deaths are in 14 to 44 age group.

            • Leo says:

              Yeah, but this also goes for the normal flu. H1N1 actually is slightly more deadly than the “normal” flu. The H stands for hemagglutinin, and the N stands for neuraminidase; the numbers stand for specific types of hemagglutinin and neuraminidase. These specific types (H1, N1) make it harder for the body to fight off the infection.

          • missdiz says:

            Swine flu doesn’t kill people, rappers do.

        • ella says:

          yeah dude, i had it too. I’m a young woman with no health concerns. I got it in late september and i’m still sick. Off and on but still. This flu kicked my ASS.

    • gilligan says:

      of six young kids no doubt

    • BigD145 says:

      An 11 year old in charge of six younger, and maybe ill, children. That’s a DarWIN.

  7. granny says:

    Bon Jovi? FAIL!

  8. dr.a says:

    Another hapless victim of the Global Financial Crisis. My heart goes out to this parent.

  9. 5 eagles C.C.C. says:

    That is so crack. The fact not going to a great band in concert but trading something for the health and welfare for trade. What do you think?.

    I have a belly button fluff to trade so jam can take a limousine to the concert any takers?.

    • jam says:

      :?: I think I’ll just drive myself. I wouldn’t want to deprive you of your stomach insulation.

      • Arthur Eld says:

        Hey Jam! :-)

        Could you please check Dragon’s guestbook on her website? And no, the Admiral didn’t just take a wild guess. :mad:

        • jam says:

          I hear you.
          *squeeze*

        • 5 eagles C.C.C. says:

          I know about it to. And whats going on.

        • Ryannon says:

          One has to worry if he has relatives in Louisiana.

        • Czuhc says:

          WTF?
          I am mad and disappointed!

          • 5 eagles C.C.C. says:

            Me too, in MYSELF and “some” others. There are no Innocent persons in this war just victims, bully’s on both sides. Sorry Czuhc.
            You are one of the few persons I do respect on here. I will be remaining on here but just replying to the fail, or to someone else’s comment and not looking for responses. I get that.

            • Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org says:

              5 eages: I always gave you the benefit of the doubt as far as some people on FB not digging some of your comments, chiding you for your spelling and grammatical errors, etc. Had I known you were a vindictive racist, I would never had embraced you. You should have kept your comments at least confined to FB; subjecting the cheeze peeps — including my own daughter — to that sort of hate is unforgivable. I have advised my daughter never to reply to you again, and I will not be replying to you in future, either.

              Shame on you!

          • Arthur Eld says:

            It was even worse. The reason for the asshat’s threat was Dragon’s and the Admiral’s intervention after he had made an anti-semitic comment on the lolcat’s page. I guess that says enough about that^ disgusting and outrageous (and incorrect) comment.

  10. Viktor says:

    I would also do so. The fkn swine flu vaccine sucks.

  11. perv says:

    There are two fails here :

    1 letting an 11 year old babysit anyone, let alone 6 anyones.
    2 letting your kid get a swine flu shot. That thing is BAD.

  12. gle says:

    good to see the heading back to normal. more funny & blunt that way. oh and this person is a mentalist.

  13. granny says:

    she could probably just lend Jon the 11 year old and get free tickets for life.

    Bad medicine
    You give love a bad name
    Living on a prayer

  14. Ryannon says:

    I did the same thing when my son was little but it was his polio vaccine for Menudo tickets. God I loved Ricky Martin when he was young.

  15. granny says:

    Please please please can I get a whiff of the pit?

  16. Andrew Ong says:

    Absolutely true. I certainly agree that the trade is totally bad indeed.
    (Swapping child swine flu vaccines for Bon Jovi tickets? Total carnage! What a disgraceful waste and an illegal act of a treacherous rock-hard scam trade!)

  17. Aja says:

    What’s so cool about Bon Jovi’s pit?

  18. Somebody says:

    The most telling statement is that she “is NOT a nut job”.

  19. Someone says:

    That sounds familiar. This morning in the bus I grabbed a newspaper and read an article about people selling their prescribed medication.

  20. c'mon people says:

    FAKE!

    • Spookie Pie says:

      CAKE!

      • Lemur says:

        Ummm … sadly … no.

        And what’s worse, I’m pretty sure I *know* who this is.

        • ML says:

          Um…. how many people do you know who has brought the vaccine home (outside of their bodies) in such a way that it can be traded for anything? Doctors and nurses administer the vaccine, they don’t send it home with you, for crying out loud.

          It’s a joke. A pretty funny one, but a joke none the less. I call this a Parenting Joke Win.

  21. X says:

    Maybe the kids already had the flu.

  22. fais says:

    Look Like optimistic. keep the faith…

  23. Monoclelad says:

    Phew, for a second there I thought she might be a nutcase, but the second paragraph really eased my concerns.

  24. dmess0r says:

    Fail? How about totally awesome because the swine flu shot is for assclowns who want to get doped up with mercury and other additives. Yes, it is true. The vaccine has been rushed and authorized under a presidential declaration of emergency, during which time, allows pharmaceutical companies to bypass miles of USEFUL FDA red-tape.

    Sure you hear on the news about someone here or someone there coming down with nasty complications from not having the vaccination, but statistically speaking that kid might as well have been struck by lightning.

    Go read the CDPH pages on swine flu carefully before calling this a fail.

  25. kez says:

    Oh my Jesus, I just lol’d so hard I almost fell off my bed.

  26. lotusfaerie says:

    im not so worried about trading the vaccines for for the tickets, unless her kids have health issues that make them very necessary. im more concerned that shes leaving wants her 11 year old to babysit. Im 26 and cant handle 6 kids let a alone let 11 year old control them all. I think mommy should have thought about this before she spread her legs those 7 times and she does not know one person who could watch these kids? the 80s are over, bon jovi sucks, and her kids are all going to grow up to be serial killers.

  27. Ureshii says:

    Hmm. All things considered, I’d say they failed as parents at the moment of conception…

    Seriously? Bon Jovi?!

  28. ophion17 says:

    “to show im not a total nut case” because you would be nuts not to trade your kids health for bon jovi tickets.

  29. Terry says:

    Well at least she’s reasonable. I mean, she’d really need to be willing to give up the pre-vaccinated child in order to get into the center two pit sections. That’s prime douche-rocker watching real estate.

  30. cherish says:

    Bon Jovi would be so proud.

  31. Phaet says:

    I don’t even know what “Bon Jovi” is

  32. Baker says:

    This lady is stupid, dumb ass beearch. Lets see how funny it is when her kids die from swine flu hahahaha yeah that’ll be really funny

  33. FakeSayer says:

    Fake

  34. mother says:

    The swine flu vaccine is free anyways. not a very good trade

    • mld1979 says:

      It’s also d@mned hard to GET. Which (in theory) makes it a valuable trade EXCEPT it woldn’t work that way. She doesn’t get to say, “I’m not giving my kids the shot so give it to these people.” And that alone makes it fail.

    • PM says:

      And you really don’t need the vaccine anyways unless you’re seriously ill to begin with, so…

  35. JM says:

    Seriously? Forget the vaccine, I’d sell a kidney for the tickets!

  36. Schmoe says:

    “Single mom of 7″ well, that speaks volumes doesn’t it?

  37. thomas m says:

    this is just so very irresponsible and eye shockingly suprising. this lady really should be locked up for possible child endangerment for this. i mean i dont trust this vaccine for the life of me, but to deny her other children but give it to her oldest is that wrong.

    • mld1979 says:

      Not necessarily. Most people recover from it. Maybe one kid has asthma. I’m more bothered about the leaving an 11 y/o in charge of a pack of kids

    • Jenx says:

      The manufacturers of this hysteria should be locked up. Giving this vaccine is child endangerment.

  38. gmc360 says:

    I might be livin’ on a prayer here … I might be halfway there … but I hope Bon Jovi gets swine flu and cancels the concert.

  39. lalalaaa says:

    someone needs to call CPS

  40. Wild says:

    I think instead of trading for bonjovi tickets she needs to be trading for some condoms..or maybe a babysitter. 7 kids = no money 4life u better get use to it !!

  41. Jade says:

    Why do we allow people like this to procreate?

  42. svesten says:

    it cant be happening ! FAKE !

  43. Anon says:

    It should be a WIN thou..
    i think it’s great parenting!
    swine flu shot will make you worse than the flu itself! beware…

  44. Sadie says:

    Are you freaking kidding me?!?! Gots to be fake. I hope :/

  45. Kristina says:

    WOW! Just WOW!

  46. peg4x4 says:

    Any body contact CPS??
    If this is true,she needs to lose those kids.

  47. Anonymous says:

    Fake. They administer the swine vax, they don’t hand it out like heroin.

  48. genesis424 says:

    lol I’m from Cambridge

  49. Melissa says:

    “To show I’m reasonable and not a nut case…”

    Because demanding the center pit sections would be too crazy.

  50. Fed up with selfish morons. says:

    I’m surprised with you people. Did no only else catch on to the fact that breeder is asking for 2 tickets? Who wants to place money on second ticket going to her new boyfriend of the month? Any takers? How about a side bet on her being back in 9 months, now single mother of 8 children, trading formula and diapers for something completely self-absorbed?

    No only should she lose her children, she should be forced to have a hysterectomy to prevent any more crotch droppings. Furthermore, she should be forced to get a job and pay child support to each of the foster families who are raising her children, as well as repay any state benefits she received for the children.

    • Vikotnik says:

      Yeah, but it’s fake so it doesn’t matter what arguments you got built up.

    • jp says:

      hmmmm….why so excited? the kids are more than likely NOT going to die from not getting the vaccine OR as a result getting the actual swine flu. Learn to take a joke!!! You should try sedatives maybe….jeeze!!!

  51. uvulu says:

    Looks so fake. Someone who just wanted to have a laugh typed this, and they thought it would make it even funnier to say that the oldest kid is only 11. It this was real, why would that mother even mention the age? It makes no sense, IMO it’s fake

  52. Loperamide says:

    nahhhh not gooooood…..

  53. loll says:

    i like to put dead birds in my soft drink

  54. loll says:

    alright fine im not some retard with no self respect i am 11 years old and accidently discoverd this website well searching 4 porn………..

  55. Yoma says:

    actually that’s a win since the swine flu vaccine is poison.

  56. Tony says:

    Hilarious that she thinks her seating preferences will get her labeled as a nut job, and that using her children to score tickets to a concert and leaving an 11 year old in charge while she goes to said concert is perfectly acceptable and sane. seven children! Why do the stupid ones always breed so prolifically?

  57. kwibulon says:

    So… the 11 year old needs his/her vaccination… in order to watch the kids? How does that go, exactly?

    • arrow says:

      so s/he won’t be too sick! or coughing up blood or something. :)

      this is obviously a fake, but it’s an excellent one, because I loved the rabid responses of, e.g., “Fed up with selfish morons.”– “OMG this person should be held down and forced to undergo a surgical procedure!”

      Actually, uh, no. We don’t do that in the good ol’ US of A. That would be, you know, wrong.

  58. yeah, when you think about it this is so true!

  59. Sarah says:

    OMG… this mother should be stabbed a million tiems in the face!!!! Stripped of her children and just brutally bashed!

  60. jeff says:

    haha what an idiot

  61. jeff says:

    its actually a parenting WIN!!!
