   Put me among the folks who will shed no tears when the big quake takes San Francisco out completely. Decadence has a time and a place: ice cream on Sunday, pizza on Friday, sex anywhere but in public – and NEVER in front of kids. DAMN. Just DAMN.
   I’m certainly no saint, and have no children, nor do I want any. But, by God, I would be a better parent than those sacks of dung. Thanks to people like those, we will have an increase of rapists and child molesters, because ‘if it feels good, do it.’

   See above, Pat. Can’t investigate without an address.

   But – as someone said above – spank your child or give them a Snickers bar in their lunch, and CPS will be on your doorstep before you can blink.

   Englishqueen I would like to add for Rusty’s sake that they don’t sell studded collars for children for a reason…it is inappropriate and I would personally make it my life’s mission to shut down any business that did! Right and wrong exists. This is clearly wrong.

   I mean, it’s a studded collar. No harm, no foul.
   Rusty, it’s a studded DOG collar. The article MM quotes clearly says it was purchased at a pet store.

   If you’re a rebellious teen and decide to wear a dog collar, it’s strange but at least you have a choice.

   There is NO reason to put a dog collar on a child. Whatsoever.

   Thank God at least they adopted girls; I shudder to think what the family after-party would have been like at home had they adopted twin boys.

   Gay adoption is a bad idea. Full Stop. Thank you for additional proof. And there will never be a Miller product in my home ever again.

   Someone up above mentioned boycotting Miller, which certainly seems appropriate to me, for those of us who think this is truly dispicable. Miller is currently owned by SABMiller out of South Africa (wiki entry) and they own a lot of brands in addition to Miller, so be thorough if you want to go that route. The link above lists quite a few brands (under the Global Operations heading), and some of the more common state-side include:

   Fosters
   Pilsner Urquell
   Peroni
   all the Miller Brewing Company stuff:
   Miller / Miller Lite / etc
   Sharp’s
   Milwaukee’s Best
   Hamm’s
   Icehouse
   Red Dog

   I think I’ll boycott San Fran, too, but then I rarely travel that far west so that’s not saying much.

   Perhaps I’m misreading your comment (and if I am, forgive me) – but I KNOW they don’t specifically sell studded collars for children.

   I find it appalling these “parents” went to a pet store to specifically to purchase dog collars for their children to wear to this fest of depravity. Were I the clerk in this store, and they had mentioned their intentions, I would have not sold them the collars. Period.

   Like you, I would shut down any business that tried to market leather gear for babies – but pet stores are, sadly, an “alternative” to mini leather gear.

   “Why do (these people) bring kids here? This is a leather fair for god’s sake,” said Bahran Aliassa, who was masturbating in public.

   So you’re sensible enough to realize that kids don’t belong there yet you continued rubbing one out, knowing they were around?

   You….are a very sick man.

   Funny how the Miller High Life commercials have delivery guys going in taking their beer out of restaurants because they sell cheeseburgers for $11.00. But sell dildos and invite children and you’re A.O.K. and let the beer flow.

   Now THIS is a commercial I’d love to see… The beer truck pulling up to Folsom Street and that big truck driver getting out and railing against all the ‘goings-on’ as he and his crew carry out all the beer cases …..

   “You must be outchya-dayum mind!”

    I don’t have any gay issues live and let live. But, this very incident is why people don’t want gays to adopt or marry. These 2 men aren’t fit to be parents and child services should look into this incident.

    “Veronica Kruschel, 2, drinks water while her twin sister Zola enjoys the Folsom Street Fair environment. Their parents Gary Beuschel and John Kruse (not photographed) watch nearby while having a lunch break.”

    This is one of the many reasons I don’t think gay couples should have the legal right to adoption.

    Scarier part is that this ‘parent’ – John Kruse – is a psychiatrist in the bay area….

    What exactly is he counseling his patients about – when he thinks taking children to a BDSM fair where 1/2 and full-naked people are parading and being publicly flogged?

    I know this subject has already been discussed top to bottom, but I would just like to add one thing. The comment made by the “parents” of those unfortunate toddlers seems to be implying that Iowans suffer in some way because we have no place to take our children that exposes them to leather fetishes and outdoor masturbation… I am not only angry at the attempt to insult Midwesterners, I am digusted that there are palces where culture is defined in these terms and parents begin exposing children to it so young.

    However, living in a liberal, University town, I must say that these stories do their part in helping me feel a little less uneasy about raising children here. Things could be much worse where I live.

    That’s not my culture, BOB.
    This disgusting and shameful public display of human degradation is distinctly lacking in “culture”.

    You’re right of course, but it is presented all over the world as a normal part of the way America is. Is there any question about why so much of the world rejects what they are told IS America?

    For all those football fans, many stadiums sell Miller at the games. I called Texas Stadium, home of the Cowboys, and informed them of Miller’s latest sponsorship. We should begin to speak out against Miller. Call!! Call event organizers in your area and ask that they not sell Miller products. For those of you in Texas, the Texas Stadium phone number is (972)785-4000.

    I watched a few of those videos and they were disgusting! And to subject babies to that, not too mention, there were a few older kids I saw too, is beyond my understanding. San Francisco, IMO, is one of the most vile and evil cities to live in.

    You know it’s sad, but true that people from other countries look at America and see this, and the first thing they think is “evil country.” It’s no wonder why they hate us.

    Shame on Those “parents,” if I can even call them that.

    A poster mentioned earlier that Miller wanted to know what people thought about this. Well, since it’s been all over talk shows, talk radio, blogs, etc., it would seem pretty obvious that folks are not happy campers.

    I already don’t drink beer, so I’d be interested in who some of the other sponsors were.
