Ask the internet what to name a space station and we’ll say, “Colbert.” Ask the internet who’s the greatest musical act of all-time and we’ll say, “Rick Astley.” The internet is addicted to lulz, which is why I think it’s ridiculous to put your baby’s legal first name up for auction on eBay, as a mother in Arkansas has done. The current high bid is $2600 – if a relatively small group of channers each donated $5, they could get a real baby named anything.
If they’re kind, the baby might be named after “Battletoads,” “Barrel-Roll,” “Pedobear” or another awesome meme. However, if they’re not feeling so generous, it could end up as “Bloodfart” or “Goatse.” What kid wouldn’t want to be named Goatse, am I right?
Sure, the woman could reject the bid, but the whole point is that she’s hard up for cash. So what’s it gonna be: take the money and have a son named Mudkipz, or not feed your large family? That’s a decision I’d prefer not to have to make.
