Bad Dads For The Win: Air Traffic Controller Allows Son To Direct Flights

Top brass in the U.S. are investigating an incident last month in which a young boy stepped in to his father’s shoes and directed air traffic at JKF International Airport.

Audiotape recorded the boy directing planes for take-off during a week when New York students were out of school, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is none too pleased.

More From The WTF Files: Condoms Fit For Twelve-Year-Olds Hit Swiss Shelves

A new, extra-small condom is set to hit the shelves in Switzerland. Condoms that would be the right size for, say, a twelve-year-old boy.

Um, WHAT?

The nation’s Federal Commission for Children and Youth discovered kids aged 12-14 were having more sex this decade than last, but weren’t using the proper protection. In response, a condom that would be a better fit for pre-teen boys was created.

Eight-Year-Old Girl Performs Lady GaGa Number On Brazilian Reality Show

Like many other girls who grew up in the 80s, I was a huge Madonna fan. For a long time, whenever my best friend came over, our favourite game to play was Desperately Seeking Susan. We used to raid my mother’s pile of old costume jewelry, clothes and makeup in an attempt to look the way Madonna and Rosanna Arquette did on the cover of my Dress You Up LP. We'd parade around the house, pretending we were in New York City, seeking desperately for Susan.

Kids emulate celebrities all the time, but sometimes it goes to far. Sometimes, it makes you wonder how much celebrity role-play is too much.

Not Even Superheroes Are Immune To Today's Tough Economic Times

You know the economy has really tanked when Superheroes start losing their jobs.

Peter Parker, the New York City’s official photographer and Spider-Man’s alter-ego, is set to get pink-slipped in an upcoming edition of The Amazing Spider-Man.

Bad From The Past: The Day My Kid Went Punk

I’m a child of the 80s, which means I spent the better half of the decade drinking my fair share of Tab, aspiring to grow up and be as cool as Jem (please tell me that some of you remember Jem and the Holograms and loved it as much as I do did) and, of course, tuning in to as many ABC After School Specials as I could. The acting was mediocre, but the topics were always a bit controversial - dyslexia (Backwards: The Riddle of Dyslexia), divorce (My Dad Lives in a Downtown Hotel), sexuality (Am I Gay?), teen pregnancy (Two Teens and a Baby) - and I was hooked.

Bad Moms Want To Save The Whales But Aren't Quite Sure What That Means

You know what I just don't know what to say about? Killer orcas at SeaWorld. It's just too sad. It's sad for the poor young woman who lost her life doing something about which she was so clearly passionate (I cannot even look at the pictures of her hugging orcas. I burst into tears). It's so sad for the orca, who totally did not ask to be there and who was just being an orca and, again, did not ask to be there. (They're not going to euthanize him, are they? Please tell me that they're not.)

I'm Going To Punish You (That's What She Said)

First there was the nine year old boy who was threatened with detention for bringing a two-inch toy gun to school.

Then there was the girl who was handcuffed and carted off to the police station for doodling on her desk with erasable pen.

Now there is Dalton Duncan, the boy who was sent to detention for having a humourless teacher.

Bad Moms Know Their Bud? Tyra Talks Herbal With The Soccer Mom Set

Words that I never thought I'd hear come out of my mouth: I'm, like, totally bummed that I didn't watch The Tyra Show this past Monday. Because, really: it was an episode called Soccer Mom Stoners.

Yeah that's right: Soccer Mom Stoners.

First, Tyra, I applaud you for tackling this controversial topic, and second, my dear Queen of the Smize, I adore that you didn't use the phrase 'bad moms' in the title.

In fact, I love the title and I suggest that we all start using it as a party theme.

Bad Moms Love Lost, But Totally Don't Know What The Hell Is Going On, OMG

I've been sick. Like, Island-infection-dip-me-in-the-Temple-hot-tub sick. So sick that I've barely been able to raise my head to slurp my Benylin DM, but not so sick that I couldn't watch Lost. And I'll say this: Lost makes a little more sense when you're hopped up on meds. Not enough to be comprehensible, but still. Every little bit helps.

Anyway. Seeing as we watch Lost every week, and further seeing as we are always totally confused by it, we though that we might bring our confusion here, to chat about, just as we might do if we had actual real relationships with you people and, you know, hung out. So, like, not a recap - if I could follow things closely enough to produce a recap, I wouldn't be this confused - I think - but more of a discursive WTF, a sharing of the things that are confounding us, an airing of our grievances concerning too much Kate/not enough Sawyer/will Jack stop grimacing already, etc.

(Spoilers ahoy, if you haven't watched the first two weeks' episodes)

Bad Moms Love Bad Boys. And Smoke Monsters. And Tropical Polar Bears. And LOST.

Wow, I could have had a baby since the last time I watched some fresh LOST.

But I'm (kind of) glad I didn't because a new baby would probably screw up my watching of tonight's season première of what has to be the best television viewing in the history of television viewing (in my humble opinion.)

I know, I know, you either hate or love LOST and it's probably obvious from the way that I'm speaking here that The Bad Moms Club lurves them some castaways. But some more than others.
