Dropped my baby one more time!
Warning: this comes from a gossip column, so take it for what’s it worth.
As you have no doubt heard ad nauseam, Britney and her man-meat have had some baby-rearing issues, one of which included poor lil’ Sean Preston being dropped on his head earlier this month. Well, People magazine has been digging into this story a little more, most likely while Katie Holmes was in labor and they had a two-hour window with nothing to cover about TomKat. Anyway, the story behind the baby’s fall is that his nanny was apparently taking him out of his high chair when “something snapped,” causing the plummet. So Brit-Brit is now convinced it was a defective chair and is contemplating suing the chair’s maker.
I would love to see this case go to trial for two reasons. First, the chair manufacture could certainly argue, in defense to Brit-Brit and Federleezee’s products liability claim, that there was an assumption of risk - namely, that when two people this stupid decide to spawn, they’re assuming the risk that they’re not going to be able to care for that child in the slightest capable way. Second, the manufacturer could also argue that there is no measurable harm to the child. I mean, considering the gene pool poor Sean Preston drew from, would you even be able to detect brain damage?
Seriously, I feel for this kid.
