Some People Are Very Upset About This "How To Fight A Baby" Viral Video

(Source) — Yes, “How to Fight a Baby” is getting a lot of attention — the clip has been viewed over half a million times since McInnes uploaded it to YouTube on Monday. Some viewers are calling it “cute” and “hilarious” and others have described it as disturbing and irresponsible. “[Department of Family and Children Services] needs to watch this video and I am sure the child would be taken away from this idiot and his idiot wife,” someone commented on YouTube. “Yes, I know they’re just playing…but it still doesn’t make it any less unsettling to see a baby being tossed and thrown; no matter how safe he is (it’s a baby, not a toy),” said another. A well-known child safety expert and author on the topic (who preferred not to have her name used) tells Yahoo Shine that she feels the video should be taken down from YouTube immediately. “I find it extremely disturbing.” She adds that not only is throwing and flipping an infant highly dangerous — even on a bed covered with pillows — she’s deeply worried that a copycat might push the mock-violent antics one step further. The American Humane Association warns that, although rare, tossing and playing too roughly with infants can cause shaken baby syndrome, and result in brain damage.

Here’s one thing I can say with absolute fact: everyone who hates this video is a woman. Anyone who thinks this is disgusting or inhumane or dangerous just isn’t a man. Because, ladies, every single guy who you’ve ever left with your baby, wrestled that baby. I don’t care who you are, where you’re from, what you do, if you’re a dude and someone puts a baby in front of you then you’re gonna wrestle it. I promise you that’s a fact. Every time you left a baby with your brother? He wrestled it. Your dad wrestled you as a baby. It’s just what men do. We make our own beef jerky, go on riverboat gambling trips, shit with the door open and wrestle babies.

PS – Puppies too. We also wrestle your puppies when you’re not looking.
