Pretend for a moment that you have 2 kids and you actually care about them. Due to a national emergency, you are required to come up with a baby sitter in 30 seconds based only on one bit of information in their profile. In other words, you are basically coming up with a random person within the group without any other knowledge. Nobody you have met personally can do it. The kids will have to be cared for an entire week. The fate of your children and the country hang in the balance. Who do you give your kids to?! (and why)

Groucho

This was actually quite easy. I voted Madonna since of all those listed she's the only one I know for sure is a parent and has experience with kids.

Nifty03

So was Andrea Yates.

Groucho

To my knowledge, Madonna has murdered very few of her children (perhaps none).

Nifty03

Right, (and if she had it would be ok because she is a rich celebrity) but from your statement Andrea Yates was also a parent with experience with kids.

I picked the Amish, I'm guessing they would be strict and if nothing else teach the kids German.

Quake1028

Madonna, for the same reasons as dork.

Chew

I guess that confirms it: dork and Groucho are the same person.

Bandoman

I have three, so no pretending necessary

Oh. Commencing pretending.

My first choice would have been Groucho, but he's not one of the options.

Of that list it would have to be Madonna because, as Groucho (a/k/a dork - I knew it!) said, she's an experienced mother. Plus, she's in the limelight, so if anything went wrong the world would hear about it. Plus she's rich and I could sue her.

Mordred

I picked the Amish because I'd like my kids to learn how to churn butter. Also tailoring is a good trade.

Mrs. Danger

I voted for the carnival worker, because they could most be expected to have survival skills in a chaotic social situation.

But, I would insist that they promise not to give the kids any drugs until I got back.


I wouldn't want my kids anywhere NEAR an Amish Tailor, someone who does voiceovers for a children's cartoon, a Ron Paul supporter or, especially, a Nascar driver!





You left Pro Wrestler off the list.

Groucho

Pennsylvania Dutch.

wishbone

I picked Madonna too:  she probably has rockin' English nanny to take care of the kids.

PrincessT

Madonna also, she has children and appears to be a good mother and she is also the only person singled out. Some Amish tailor could tell me his name, but it would be hard to track down an unknown Jebediah. I know who Madonna is and could probably track her down for retrieval of my offspring.

Tracer Bullet

I'd probably just drown them.

orangecrush

I voted Amish due to the likely hood of him having a garden in a remote location, but the Madonna supporters are very convincing.

al_bundy

Madonna lives in one of the snobbiest and most exclusive coop buildings in NYC. The stage personna is all an act.

Groucho

No kidding!?

Do you have a twitter account, per chance?

Vibiana

I'm very offended that the poll doesn't include you, me, or Numanoid. D:

Mabuse

I'd go Madonna followed up by Amish. I know Madonna has parenting skills and I'm sure the Amish do too.

adrenaline78

No Priests on the list???



Oh yeah.. i'd totally leave my kids with a carney!

EdTheRipper

Someone who does voiceovers for a children's cartoon.

Kmical

A DVD Talk member. Specifically, an Otter.

In a week, he'd learn a love for DVD's. In addition, I'm sure he'd pick up enough tips to be a successful dater, make millions in the stock market, learn how to buy a home with just cash, own multiple yachts, and learn the secrets to obtaining an enormous penis.

Or maybe he wouldn't

NORML54601

That's where you're wrong. A Carnie could survive by eating garbage and stealing I suppose, but a Ron Paul supporter most likely has a bunker stocked with food, ammo, meds, etc...

Graftenberg

Del Monte employee.

beavismom

Well, my son is 14 so Madonna is out because she might try to date him. I am leaning toward someone who can teach them a skill like the Carnie or the Amish tailor...
