I was skimming my Google homepage for my morning dose of news and found this little gem out of New Zealand.  Apparently, a couple had decided to name their newborn baby “4Real” because they saw the ultrasound and knew the baby was “for real”. But, because it was rejected by some sort of New Zealand baby name registry for including numbers and not using consecutive characters, they’ve decided to formally name the baby “Superman” while still referring to is as “4Real”.

I’m sorry, but are you fucking kidding me?  Stupidity this grand deserves profanity. These people are breeding?  I think the movie Idiocracy is right, smart people are over-thinking their procreation, being too cautious, waiting until it’s too late or they’re too old or they only have one baby. (And believe me, I feel that way, too.) Meanwhile, we’re being out-bred by miscreants who want to name their kid UB40 or whatever.  Jesus H.  Smart people!  Put down the Nietzsche and start shagging.  I implore you.

Pat and Sheena Wheaton say they will get around the decision by the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages by officially naming their son Superman but referring to him as 4Real, the New Zealand Herald newspaper has reported.

The Wheatons decided on the name after seeing the baby for the first time in an ultrasound scan and realizing their baby was “for real.”

“No matter what its going to stay 4Real,” Wheaton told the Herald, “I’m certainly not a quitter.”

Moreso than a problem with smart people not breeding enough (which is true), the problem lies with the fact that, now much more so than in the past, smart people are only breeding with other smart people.  In the past, smart people and dumb people bred with each other to produce both smart and dumb offspring.

I say, “Hey, dumb and sexy people, get fucking the smart people!  Use your body to entice!  It’s not like your brain is making a huge contribution.  Use the talents you were given!”

With a name like that, that kid might one day be president, in the great tradition of statesmen like Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

I know of an entire family of SEVEN kids with jacked up names. Ranging from “Charity Sunshine” to “Liberty Belle” and “Treasure Chest”.  The whole family was doomed though, because the dad’s name (and I’m not kidding about this) is Richard Sweat. And yes, he goes by Dick. *shakes head*

They’re going to be pissed when somebody points out that they could have just spelled it Fourreal.

Yeah, my niece was know as Smudge after her first ultrasound, and the nephew was Chickenlegs when he was born with the skinniest legs ever.  However, my sister and her husband did not feel the need to put those clever names on legal Sheesh.papers.  Anyone heard of the concept of nicknames??

Thats just totally crazy. Sometimes I think parents go too far in loking for a unique baby name. They end up inventing one which is so wierd that the child is subsequently subjected to teasing and even bullying in school because they are so “different”.
