We need to stop watching Discovery Health channel. Three words: toxic epidermal necrolysis. Try a yahoo image search. Jesus. This woman’s skin just…sloughed off. There was a lot of yelling involved as we watched which worked Little Filthy up into a snit. Now we’re watching maggots put into an open wound. Watch enough of these shows and you start to think it’s a medical miracle to be healthy, period.

What the hell is going on here? It’s 7 and we decided we had to change the channel or risk never eating again. The Learning Channel has a movie on called “The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off.” He has Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).

This reminds me of a conversation I had in the office with a co-worker. We saw a pregnant woman and my co-worker said to me, with complete sincerity, “I wish I could have a baby.” My co-worker is male. I said, “Like, have a baby or have a baby?” He said, “Have a baby.” It made me want to hit him. I told him so. For some people, biology provides a natural limit to their stupidity.
