Offbeat: Meet the ukulele-playing kid taking the Internet by storm

  • Who cares if the kid knows the words? He knows the chords to Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours,” and that’s really all that matters. Our hearts are warmed like nothing else.

Biz: Some lady’s loud, annoying kid forces Southwest Airlines to apologize

  • It is extremely rare for any situation to escalate to the point where we ask a customer to leave a flight. This was an isolated incident where our flight attendants felt it was the right thing to do.
  • Southwest Airlines representative Chris Mainz • On a highly-buzzed incident where Pamela Root was removed from a flight with her two-year-old son, Adam, because the kid was too freaking loud and whiny. Some would applaud the airline for doing that, but it left Root in a crappy situation, because her checked luggage was still on the fight, meaning she had no diapers or way to take care of the kid. We have sympathy for Root AND Southwest Airlines. It was a tough situation. • source

Offbeat: Five-year-old Giuliano Stroe is the strongest kid ever or something

  • We’re imagining five-year-old Giuliano Stroe has a great future in Hollywood starring in B-level action movies with a cougar-aged Kate Gosselin as his mom. Guinness thinks he’s strong. And look at him do these flips and stuff in this YouTube video.

Politics: “I took my son to Hooters, and now my blog’s flooded with comments”

  • My 11 year boy has reached the age where girls at school are showing interest in him but he is not ready to reciprocate with equal interest in them. The trip to Hooters, I saw, as an opportunity to see how he conducts himself around women.
  • “Daddy blogger” Bob Elston • Describing his reasoning behind taking his 11-year-old kid to Hooters on his blog. The post, complete with photo of kids next to Hooters girl, created a lot of controversy due to the fact that, uh, some might consider it an “unorthodox” approach to parenting. We disagree. We suggest every 11-year-old go to Hooters specifically to annoy overly puritanical human beings. Have you ever been to Hooters? It’s no worse than an episode of “Beavis and Butthead.” • source

Offbeat: Kid wastes his life learning how to play the accordion really well

  • Just think, if this kid learned how to be a virtuoso on an instrument we actually cared about, we’d probably be impressed. Instead, we’re just bewildered.

Offbeat, U.S.: Yesterday’s feel-good story doesn’t feel so good anymore

  • DNA proves the break in the 1955 missing child case isn’t true. Poor John Robert Barnes. Yesterday, Barnes came out in the press to talk about his belief that he was Steven Damman, a kid plucked from the mean streets of Long Island in 1955. Beyond creating lots of attention for himself, it was fodder for the FBI to compare the DNA. Which they did today. Which they confirmed was not a match. Sadly. By the way, Barnes’ dad is still alive and calls his story BS. Good luck patching that one up, dude. source
