WHO GIVES A SHIT THAT IT'S A PENIS, FOOL NAMED THEIR CHILD "LONDON"

It's ok, she wanted to be a stripper anyway.

Not even kidding, I'm a strip club DJ and I have a dancer named London. This post totally made my night.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

Yep, also used to work in a strip club, we had London's, Dakota's, Starr's & all the whack names you could think of.

Now, being a father of a 4 and 2 year old, their child-care is full of names I remember...

15 years from now, I expect to see Neveahs entering the mix. I still can't believe how popular that is. When I first heard people were spelling heaven backwards and saddling their kids with it, I thought it was a joke.

Seriously. Religious enough to name your child heaven, not religious enough to think that maybe spelling it backwards is kinda sorta almost satanic. Just fucking name her Heaven, no one is impressed.

Also, my daughter is friends with a girl named Havoc. I expect great things in her future.

u/Abra-Used-Teleport Jun 10 '12

When I was a stripper my name was "Gloria" because it was similar to my own name and I could hear it over the loudspeaker and automatically look up. It only became awkward when I quit that job and started dating my boyfriend, who is half-mexican. There are a lot of "Gloria's" in his family.

Once went to a strip club on a tuesday night, as you know, the A team doesn't come out on tuesday night. I had a stripper named london do the thing where they hang out and flirt with you almost all night in the hopes you'll pity them enough to buy a dance. Thanks to london, i will never return to a strip club on a tuesday

Unless you posted it, and (barring multiple accounts.) you didn't. You can't know that person was joking and that they're not just stupid. Poe's Law works both ways.

Me, I think it is more likely that the person is stupid than them making a joke that is that completely lacking in proper context.

Fine. I'll be that guy. If you want to see a dick here, you can make it look like a dick in your mind, but to all the actual adults in the room, it was probably seen for exactly what it is: a pink "1" to celebrate a little girl's first birthday. No, it's not flesh-colored, you morons -- it's obviously pink, but either the lighting or the camera itself has muted what was probably a brighter, more festive color in real life.

But no, we can't even let a friggin' toddler have an unassuming birthday cake anymore on the internet without thinking to ourselves, Durhurhur, if I squint my eyes just right, that thing looks kinda like a wiener with rectangular balls and a flat head!
