I would argue that the Easy Bake oven hasn't changed - rather, the current generation of children are simply...how can I put this in a nice way... I can't: dumb?

My wife had an Easy Bake oven as a child - never burned a finger...

Another reason why we need to start culling the herd. Obviously the dumb ones are making it to reproduction age.

like roland, batmanuel is skeptical. batmanuel also wonders what the kid's parents where doing while their kid got 3rd degree, amputation-worthy burns--heroin, perhaps?

Ever since production of the Easy Bake Oven went to China, they should rename it the Easy Trap and Burn Your Fingers Oven. That country can't do anything right these days.

Maybe the parents were playing Warcraft (http://news.aol.com/story/_a/internet-obsessed-couple-let-kids-starve/20070715195409990001) and the kids were trying to feed themselves?

"While child abuse because of drug addiction is common, abuse rooted in video game addiction is rare, Viloria said."

Why would they say this? Let us read on.

"Last month, experts at an American Medical Association meeting backed away from a proposal to designate video game addiction as a mental disorder, saying it had to be studied further. Some said the issue is like alcoholism, while others said there was no concrete evidence it's a psychological disease."

Oh. So very topical. I'm so very happy the media is focusing on the real issues. Again.

apparently they didn't get the computers until after the kids were born, otherwise they wouldn't have peed in the gene pool.

Anybody else wonder why people that ... deficient ... aren't sterilized? To prevent them from neglecting their next kids? Because you know they'll have more.
