They're totally gonna increase their male viewership 15 years ago.

Yeah, I know she's koo-koo. She didn't consider the high risk of retardation that goes with having a baby with Jim Carrey.

WHY?!?!?!?!?

Our city sidewalks were designed for malnourished 17th century period people from Dickens novels! Why must your every precious be transported in its own personalized KILLvan sending all around ducking into the street or doorways?!?

There's a particular section of Ottawa dominated by the wealthy and entitled of breeding age (the Glebe), and on weekends the sidewalks are unpassable due to fleets of these baby SUVs. Even if it were physically possible to easily maneuver around them, the people pushing them have no intention of accommodating.

We have that stroller. It's a jogging stroller. It's not meant for city sidewalks at all. We use a tiny folding one when we go downtown.

Fuck me you think you got problems the pavements here are so narrow a toothpick has difficulty getting by.

To be fair Boston (as well as my hometown of Charleston) is one of the few pre-automobile, pre-city planning cities left in America, so it's reasonably comparable.

I'm pretty sure London has been sacked by the Vandals a couple of times since the sidewalks of Beacon Hill were laid in the mid-1600's.

London never had any sidewalks ever you peasant!

I don't live in London but my town as I suspect most large towns in the UK have some pretty narrow pavements. We have some locally no more than a metre wide.

You want fun in London, try getting around whilst pushing a giant fuck-off wheelchair. From the narrow, narrow pavements, to entitled pricks with fucking foldable buggies taking up the disabled space on public transport, it's bitter-laugh a minute.

They should have their own bus.

Listen to you bunch of grumpy old men!!!!!
When we were kids we were wheeled around in huge old fashioned prams (and in my case a double pushchair) they were huge heavy things with the turning circle of an oil tanker. No one had a car and we were wheeled everywhere (or on the bus if you were rich) plus back in those days we would be left lined up on the footpath outside high street shops whilst our mums were in the bank or getting the family allowance at the post office. Same pavements we have now except for the chairs and tables outside cafes full of grumpy old men drinking coffee and moaning about high tech children's buggies.

My brother and I were wheeled around in a rickety canvas umbrella stroller that probably weighed 5 pounds and probably cost 5 dollars.

[Rat Patrol]

I was forced to fuckin' walk the second my body reached enough internal equilibrium to achieve half-reliable upright bipedal locomotion. Run, actually...since my parents never slowed up for lil' shortlegs back there. Or held hands...it was MY fault if I got abducted and raped because I couldn't keep up with them.


Today I see SUV strollers carrying 6-year-olds blocking the door on the subway.

Oh yeah. Once we were old enough to walk without falling every five steps, we walked. And Jackson is going to do that too. Because every time I see an able-bodied kid in a stroller whose legs are long enough to touch the ground from his seat, I die a little inside.

Yeah...we sold VH Jr's fancy jogging stroller (paid for by my mom) the second he started walking. We haven't used his umbrella stroller since he turned three.
