As an Australian, there are things that happen in America that just makes you shake your head and wonder, "What were they thinking?'
This photograph comes from a tourist brochure in Florida and just screamed, "What the...?" I don't know what was scarier though, the picture or my thinking that it WOULD be fun for the whole family!
One cruel irony of this kind of advertising showed up in the news while we were in Florida for the week. Apparently a 14 year old boy had shot and killed his stepmum and her unborn child because he was not happy with her. His dad was reported as saying that maybe he shouldn't have given his son the gun for christmas after all. You think!? What hope did any of them have when weapons are advertised as fun for all the family?
Americans may have the right to bear arms under their constitution, but unfortunately they don't seem to have the right to bear any resemblance to common sense.
As the title says - Only in America.
