I hate to tell you this, but it's sadly true. Read here:http://michellemalkin.com/2007/10/01/miller-lite-approved-toddlers-at-the-folsom-street-fair/ Also if you have a strong stomach go to zombietime.com and get a load of the shit that went on there. THESE PICTURES ARE NOT SAFE FOR WORK AND ARE REALLY QUITE DISGUSTING.

I think this story is an "Urban Legend." I can't track it down, and it presses our buttons too well. And here's a "dirty" Santa story. Looks like artificial intelligence development still has a ways to go.. Message 24116268 Microsoft pulls plug on potty-mouth Santa Microsoft cuts off Big Man after he starts talking about sex acts, using foul language By John Fontana, Network World, 12/04/07 Turns out Santa himself is naughty and nice. An artificial-intelligence Santa bot operated by Microsoft to talk to children wavered off topic saying: “It’s fun to talk about oral sex, but I want to chat about something else....” Microsoft Tuesday confirmed the bot’s potty mouth and snipped Santa’s Web connection. “Yesterday we received reports that the automated Santa Claus agent in Windows Live Messenger used inappropriate language. As soon as we were alerted, we took steps to mitigate the issue, including the removal of language from the agent’s automated script. We were not completely satisfied with the result of these actions, and have decided to discontinue the automated Santa Claus agent,” Microsoft said in a statement sent to Network World. Once the report of the randy Santa broke, questions prodding Santa to give up even more questionable answers took off like eight tiny reindeer. Users were able to steer Santa into admitting he was gay or that he was a pedophile. One person said “…..come on you like big hairy men -- don't hide it!” To which Santa responded, “I know, I know. I just hope you won't get mad at me.” The references to sex acts, first reported by British news outlet The Register, came when the bot was answering questions about eating pizza. At the time, the bot was chatting with two girls age 11 and 13. Microsoft recently added the corpulent and foul-mouthed artificial Santa as a bot that Windows Live Messenger users could insert into their IM buddy list as northpole@live.com. The bot would coax users to participate in a friendly game called Factory Frenzy where the user helps out Santa’s elves. But it is the chat where Santa references sex acts and uses phrases such as “dirty bastard.” Microsoft officials first responded by cleaning up Santa’s lap-side manner. After the upgrade, when asked about pizza, according to The Register, Santa says, “If you need a break to go eat, I will be right there when you come back.”

I was wondering if the kids had dog collars on or whether it was the gay guys with the collars. BTW, the zombietime site does have a pic of a guy wearing a collar and leash.

Michelle Malkin also cites this story... michellemalkin.com Folsom Street Fair Not For Children Parents have mixed feelings about bringing their children to this year's bondage fest by Poh Si Teng, Special to [X]Press - SEPTEMBER 29, 2005 2:32 PM xpress.sfsu.edu Some of the most unlikely attendees of Sunday’s kinky leather fetish festival were under four feet tall. Two-year-olds Zola and Veronica Kruschel waddled through Folsom Street Fair amidst strangers in fishnets and leather crotch pouches, semi and fully nude men. The twin girls who were also dressed for the event wore identical lace blouses, floral bonnets and black leather collars purchased from a pet store. Fathers Gary Beuschel and John Kruse watched over them closely. They were proud to show the twins off. ‘They will see more than the kids with moms and dads in Iowa,’ said Beuschel, who wanted to expose his children to San Francisco’s diverse community. ‘Every parent has to decide for themselves what is right for them. And I respect that. And we decided that this is right for our children.’ Beuschel and his girls were at the 22nd Folsom Street Fair, an annual leather event in San Francisco’s South of Market district, which showcased outrageous costumes, fetish attire, and a community obsessed with bondage, whipping, and spanking. Every year unsuspecting tourists and families stroll into the Folsom Street Fair. Some turn away at the gates after being warned by security officials about the event’s graphic sadomasochistic nature, while others saunter in with baby strollers and young children. Event organizers said that parents are responsible in determining whether the fair was suitable for kids. However, some people said children should not be allowed inside. ‘I don’t think that a 6-year-old can understand that S&M is about trust,’ said Quincey Justman, a 28-year-old graduate student from the University of California San Francisco. ‘Showing a kid a bunch of adults hitting each other would be damaging.’ As for Dylan Middlebrooks, it was his sixth year at the leather fair. He is 10 years old. ‘It’s pretty nasty because a lot of people here are naked,’ said Middlebrooks, who was there with his mother. Organizers said that they gave families ample warning. ‘We do our best ‘ that these people know that this is an adult-natured event,’ said Darryl Flick, executive director of Folsom Street Events. ‘I’ve seen a thousand dotting aunts and uncles, and a kid having the time of his life.’ Security volunteer Adam Hawkins said it is up to the parents to decide what was best for their kids, and that he wouldn’t stop them at the gates. Some fairgoers said that it was inappropriate to have children at the event. ‘Why do (these people) bring kids here’ This is a leather fair for god’s sake,’ said Bahran Aliassa, who was masturbating in public. He has been doing it annually for the past six years. Oakland resident Veronica Charles, 36, was with a baby stroller and said her son was too young to understand. ‘I don’t think I’ll bring him here when he is 6,’ Charles said. Police officer Mark Lantrip said that families could choose not to come. Father of two, John Kruse said it is an educational experience for children. He said there were conservative parents against having kids at the event. ‘Those are the same close-minded people who think we shouldn’t have children to begin with,’ he said. * * *

I see that others have already posted the links showing this was no urban legend. One of the links shows one of the little two year old girls wearing her little dog collar. Another link (the zombietime one) shows exactly what was going on at that "fair" (don't link to that one lest you have a strong stomach). It does push buttons though. Those two guys shouldn't be allowed NEAR anyone else's children much less be adoptive parents themselves. Its one thing for those guys to be gay - thats their business. And if they wanta dress in leather and flog one another ditto - they're freaks but if they keep it private big deal. But why do they have to dress their "children" in the style of their sex play and take them someplace like this? If two guys take little girls to an openair orgy and dress them in dog collars, what the heck is going on at home? I can't imagine what is wrong with the people who live in San Francisco. Is it not wrong for naked guys to have sex with one another with kids watching there? My conclusion is yes, it is. And this illustrates what the gay liberation, gay marriage movement is all about. Mainstreaming moral deviance.
