Accidental Wii Suicide

Paul Taylor noted a story that I would have thought to be an April Fool's Day joke a few weeks from now, which makes it only seem more tragic. A 3-year-old shot herself with a gun after mistaking it for a Wii controller.

Ok I am an ass I admit it

But how can you confuse a metallic looking hand gun for a Wii remote?

The parents apparently aren't too bright to leave a loaded gun around.

The kid appears to have not been to bright to confuse Shiney Metal Thing for a Wii remote.

Mean as it is, isn't this natural selection at work?

My sympathy I assure you, but something has to filter the Idiocracy out.

"The kid didn't know any better" isn't an excuse.

The kids should have known better and that is the parent's fault. Stupid breeds stupid. Fact proven once again in a sorrowful incident.

Parent's at fault, punishment: sterilization seems appropriate and living the rest of their existence knowing they got their own child killed; and society has deemed them to stupid to have another child. It's a win-win for the rest of humanity.

I am an ass I guess, but having kids is a privledge, not a right and allowing stupid people to breed isn't doing anyone any good, expecially the kids that suffer their negligence.
