if you post one more fucking "airliner-shot-down-by-missle" story, I'll tie you up in a device like Paul Snider tied Dorothy Stratten into, grease you up, and personally wheel you into the Lone Star on a beer bust night.

It's a Scary Baby Conspiracy, Baby
1999-07-12 23:56:04
Now this is the way to do a "Look at the scary, ugly people" site. Besides, we all know that babies are kind of weird and creepy. It's true. You wouldn't want to kiss one if you weren't related to it, and they create frightening noises and smells.
So this Dan Gillies guy takes pictures of babies and puts them through some twisted image filters and when they come out the other side, they are some crazy scary babies! Gillies' babies are like nightmare H.R. Giger creations, and for some reason, probably because they are BABIES, the result is something that is so nasty and horrible that you want to squash it with your foot.
He even has a Charlie Manson baby, and fire-breathing devil-eared babies, and pictures of babies that aren't even digitally altered but are just freaking scary because they're too cute. My only problem with this site is that there just aren't enough scary babies shown here. It's a well-known fact that there are untold millions of perfectly scary, nasty babies out loose in the world, and a site called "scarybaby.com" should be able to keep tabs on them better, before they eat our sheep.
There's even a Scary Baby mailing list, so you can keep up with all the latest Scary Baby action.
