Am I wrong for being a little annoyed at the coverage of the mother who was videotaped hitting her child? I mean, YES, it's terrible, and YES, she should go down for it, but the feeding frenzy is a little disturbing. Why don't people make a big deal out of other child abuse cases? Sadly, they happen all the time, but they're not big news. But because this one was caught Live on Tape, people are going apeshit. It's just indicative of how our country is -- we're going to ignore something until you put it right up there on the screen in front of us, and then we're going to act like it's the only time it's ever happened.

I am just excited thinking about Ahmad Rashad debuting the footage on Real TV.

"An ordinary woman putting an ordinary child in an ordinary car? Ordinarily, this would be no big deal. But this was no ordinary day for stuffing this child into a car. Instead, this child got the stuffing beat the crap out of her! And there goes the mother! Wham! Wham! That's gonna leave a mark."
