Comments on: No children welcome at a cocktail party… *gasp* or *duhhhh*? http://gettingby.net/blog/nfblog/2007/12/no-children-welcome-at-a-cocktail-party-gasp-or-duhhhh/ The (temporarily roughly bimonthly) show is all about childfree news and social issues, as well as defending Adult Spaces from improperly socialized kids, parents, and Disneyfication. Also a glimpse into Chris\'s childfree life, currently somewhat curtailed by chronic fatigue syndrome.

Here's a perfect illustration regarding parents taking kids where they really don't belong: I just finished listening to the commentary for the movie Superbad. It's basically a profanity-laced BS session. One of the producers, Judd Apatow, brings his 9-year-old daughter at the New York half of the recording session. Another of the film makers (who's in studio with them) tries to watch his language until about halfway through the movie, when he gives up and gripes at Apatow for bringing a kid to a commentary for an adult oriented movie. Judd then storms out! It all does feel like it really happened. After that, the commentary becomes even more raunchy. Anyone who has seen the movie,and knows most of the people involved with making it, should have been aware that the commentary would not be kid friendly.
