“blood does not a fetus make!”
August 28, 2006OK OK, very different from my superserious self-righteous posts, I know. But I felt the need to share this beautiful story.
The NYSun reported on August 25th:
A report that a fetus had been found at a Queens golf course triggered a multi-agency search for the mother yesterday — a search that ended when officials determined that the discovery was in fact a sanitary napkin.
Seriously, how in the world could a pad look like a fetus? Hello? Gothamist writes: “Chalk this one up to watching a little too much Law & Order: Special Victims Unit!” Totally. I love SVU, by the way.

are you *kidding* me?! this is the most insane thing i’ve heard in a while - weeks, maybe. hey man, i love SVU too, but mistaking a pad for a fetus? i don’t think that storyline would even go “full term” to full episodehood.
J-you should stop hanging out at the golf course. See what it does to you? Next thing you know, tampons will be mistaken for bloody crosses. Or something.
S-Completely insane, but would definitely make a fantastic parody episode of SVU. I’m imagining a very witty SNL skit.
