Neither the narrow seats, nor the restrictions of hand luggage, nor the brief menus ... Babies who cry seem to be the cause of more discomfort in an airplane. That is why it is not surprising that more and more companies join the child-free zones. Precisely investigating the fashion of "childfree" I came to the image that heads this article. A sample of childfree humor of doubtful taste.
In the vignette you can see a mother with her baby crying in her arms and other passengers with a face of resignation, one of whom, who takes the floor by addressing another passenger, comments:
"I am collecting handkerchiefs to make a small parachute. Would you like to donate?"
At first when I saw the vignette, I thought it was a parachute for the man who couldn't stand listening to the baby's cry, but then I fell into the "little" parachute, that is, a parachute to throw the baby, with all the implication of intolerance and violence that distills the "funny" idea. Although, seeing the mother's face (quite desperate too), I would not be surprised if she herself wanted to launch herself in this situation.
In fact, and I know that I'm looking for three feet for the cat, either option (the passenger or the fleeing mother; sometimes we would also need to escape in moments of despair, and humor is a way out) would have seemed more funny than the one that shows the lord willing to throw the helpless baby off the plane.
But anyway, I know, it's a joke ... doubtful taste. Hopefully if something similar happens to a passenger in real life ... it is also a joke. And nobody laughs at him! Because in the end it will seem "normal" that you don't want to have babies around us.
