7/6/2005: Baby treatment - Page 2

Here's an interesting statistic... Headphones make your ear canals warmer, darker, and moister. After one hour wearing headphones, the bacteria in your ears has multiplied 600 times.

Now, granted, that's still not terribly much by the standards of the human body, and it's all in the outer ear, not inside the eardrum where normal ear infections occur... but it sure as hell ain't good for their ears.

See, our problem here is that we think like Americans. This is happening in a former communist workers paradise.

They probably had crates of these headphones lying around from their final failed five year plan.

The kids are all getting iPods off ebay, so the monster headphones (I swear I had a pair of those in high school that I got from radio shack) were available cheap.

Consider ... you're dealing with the same kind of cultural logic that lead to the spread of HIV in Eastern Block countries ... If you have a ward of babies (or adults) that all need the same med, you load one syringe and shoot the whole ward. Also, cold sterilizing of disposables (think dunking in alcohol) was not uncommon practice.

The proletariat are an expendable resource.

They all seem to be in sync like they were choreographed. The one on the far left looks like a waterhead to me.
I guess when they learn to talk they will ask them how they liked the music.
I'm sure they will prefer the X Box.....

Seems like it would be more appropriate for them to listen to the compositions of Bela Bartok!

Jolly good. Lets get some good capitalist fervor going, shall we?

I prefer the term "Petite bourgeoisie".

I don't get what the big deal is. I listen to music *now* to help me adapt to life after birth. Not immediately after birth, but still...

All I can say is that the picture would make a great album cover.

You know, back when they made album covers.
