My favorite part is reading the comments of people who don’t get SATIRE. Never fails to amuse.

We should be receptive to the directives of community organizers and social engineers who have done so much to lower the crime rate and raise standards of behavior.

I once worked with a woman who was, unfortunately, named “Weeda Peoples”. And no, she wasn’t a member of a minority group. I also knew a “Helen Hunt”, as in the old joke — if you want something, go to Helen Hunt for it.

I knew a girl in high school who was named Sation. Her last name was Converse and middle name was peace. On legal documents her name was Converse Sation Peace. Her parents were white. I have a cousin named Thankful. A cousin named Seasons Blessings. And a cousin named Pleasants. My cousins are white, their parents are very much in love with old English and puritanical names. I knew a Whinter, pronounced winter, who was black buti have a white cousin who is named Sommer. Odd names are not a racial thing. They reflect people. The parents who sat at my table when I waitressed at olive garden probably should have thought twice about naming their child Hannibal but names reflect the person we want our children to be. In all cultures we have unique names and spellings of those names. Micheal has not always been spelled like that. We have only grown accustomed to that spelling because it is the Anglican way of spelling it. That being said, I actually found this article hysterical:)

In reply to ali.

where on earth did you get the impression that race had anything to do with this? Most of the cited names are the kind of crap that trailer park people do bc they think it’s ‘classy’.
(yes, I know the article is satire- I wonder if your comment is as well…)

In reply to Guest. Actually, satire is a method of covertly mocking the system. So the opposite of what you said is true. Try harder.

In reply to ali. I agree. You should make fun of them to their faces, so that they will stop giving their children dumb ass names that will handicap them through life, even if they manage to survive the higher risk of mortality.
