Hey Puxlut, cute kid... But there is no way you win if you use any of these exact photos.

I hope you have better quality images for the contest. (#2 if I was a judge...)

After doing this last year, I decided never to waste my time again, even though my kids are the cutest ever (must get it from their mom)

All it boils down to is who can harass the most people via Facebook to vote. This year, Twitter will be added to the mix I am sure.

I'm not interested in voting for other people's children (seriously - what's the saying, 'only a parent could love it', some of these kids are hysterically ugly) but if there was a contest for the cutest animal or something, then count me in.

Thanks!
The pictures are proofs from a photoshoot @ Kidsphoto in Southcentre (a Kidsphoto package is included in the grand prize) I have to pay them $40 to get a "web resolution cd" to get a decent image to sumbmit.

So you're going to spend $40 to enter a free contest in the hopes you can suck up to enough people to win it? I'd just take the $40 and buy the kid something nice instead...it's a better use of the cash imo

I love how every parent thinks their kid is the cutest and should win this ridiculous contest.

This thread made me think of the baby photo shoot casting scene from Bruno. It's a bit of a long read, but really funny. If this wasn't staged, it truly makes me sad for humanity:

Quote:

Bruno:
We're gonna do like this religious theme where my baby is gonna be on a crucifix playing Jesus even though my baby's black. So it's pretty cool, no?

Parent: That's cool. It's kind of like that Madonna video.

Bruno: Yeah, it's really edgy. You know, we're turning it on its head. Why not? Come on. Whatever.

Bruno: So. We're looking for two thieves to be on the crucifixes next to my baby. Would you be ready for your baby to be strung up on a crucifix next to mine?

Parent: Fine. Yeah, I don't mind her being up on a crucifix. Sure.



Bruno: Is your baby comfortable with bees,wasps and hornets?

Parent: George is comfortable with everything. He's fine.

Bruno: Is he comfortable with dead or dying animals?

Parent: Yes.

Bruno: Great.

Bruno: Amateur science?

Parent: What do you mean by that?

Bruno: You know, some untrained people conducting scientific experiments.

Parent: Should be fine.

Bruno: You know, her mixing the pots of acid and that type...

Parent:Okay.

Bruno: And so it's a yes.

Parent:Yes.

Bruno: Great.



Bruno:
Is she okay with extremely rapid acceleration?

Parent:Yes.

Bruno: Okay.

Parent:Yes.

Bruno: Does she always have to be in a car seat, or can she just, like, freestyle it?

Parent:Yeah. You can freestyle it, put her in a car seat. Whatever.

Bruno: If it looks better without the car seat...

Parent:Of course. Of course.

Bruno: So what? You're travelling fast. You're not gonna kill it.

Parent: Of course. Of course.



Bruno: Is your baby fine with antiquated heavy machinery?

Parent:Yeah, she's fine. She's been around that.

Bruno: Would she be fine to operate them?

Parent:Yes.

Bruno: Great.



Bruno: Is your baby fine with lit phosphorus?

Parent: Yes.

Bruno: Excellent. Does he like it?

Parent: Loves it.

Bruno: Good.



Bruno: A little sensitive subject here. How much does she weigh?

Parent: She's about 30 pounds.

Bruno: Thirty pounds.

Parent: Yes. Approximately.

Bruno: Can Olivia lose 10 pounds in the next week?

Parent: In the next week, seven days. Yeah. I'd have to do whatever I could.

Bruno: If there's a problem losing the weight, would you be ready to have Olivia undergo liposuction?

Parent: If that was a last resort and she didn't lose the few pounds, then, yeah, we'd have to do that.

Bruno: Great. Fantastisch news.



Bruno: We have chosen your baby to be dressed as a Nazi officer pushing a wheelbarrow with another baby as a Jew in it into an oven.

Parent: Into an oven?

Bruno: Congratulations. How do you feel?

Parent: Great, if she got the job. That's great.

Bruno: Yeah.

Locke, and others, reaction reminded me of what my Dad always used to say: "all newborn babies remind me of a can of smashed worms."

Oh lord, not this again. My Facebook and Twitter pages are going to be inundated with crappy "Vote for my Baby" pages and annoying status updates.

To counteract you I vote in absolutely everything I can except political elections.

So this is a contest by one of those FM stations that play bad music? Talk about milquetoast, watered down, hack garbage.


No one cares about your kids or your hockey pool.

Weren't those part of the "things to know" thread?

So I didn't pay the $40 to get the "good" picture but did pimp my kid out by entering her in the contest.

I suck. I'm a horrible mom.
But at least I can be a horrible mom sitting in my new RV!!!
