This ad is sick - and I don't get offended easily

[heydooney]

I will admit I was amused by the Terminate Me website posted about by the Daily Buzz. I made my kid into a machine, and then my husband made just about all of his friends on Facebook into machines. But when I saw this:

in the ad bar above my CafeMom homepage, I was taken aback. This is not making your child into the Terminator, this is placing BURN MARKS on them. Disgusting. It made me think of this news story and I honestly feel a little sick inside.

You can use one of the stock photos, or you can upload a picture of your child to see what they'd look like if you put them on a grill. When you position the burn marks and click, whether a stock photo or one of your own child, they scream.

Am I alone in thinking this is completely disgusting and inappropriate?

I think it's disgusting.  Maybe not quite offensive to me, but repulsive, totally.  Yeah.
