For the love of God liberals, these are nursery rhymes!
I thought this was just a joke at first, but these crazies are for real.

Check for "satire" or "humor."

tongue-in-cheek research. Still funny, though. The average nursery rhyme is NOT very PC. It's one of the things I like about 'em.

For gods sake people, lighten up. This is a few doctors having some fun over the holidays. It's also the same type of publicity stunt that all sorts of groups use to get people talking about a particular issue.

Think again, Tonto.
Children are told these stories "without people stopping to really look at what's happened", according to the tongue-in-cheek research.
....
"What sort of EMS (emergency medical service) training and equipment did these first responders have?" they ask in a light-hearted paper published by the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
Now, if any of those words I italicized gives you trouble, follow that first link I provided.

Jack and Jill went up the hill,
They both had a buck and a quarter.
When Jill came back,
she had two and a half.
Jack didn't go up for water!

"Jack and Jill, who tumbled down a hill"
Jack and Jill went up a hill
And each one had a quarter
Jill came down with fifty cents
They didn't go up for water!

Sorry, you need to read a little closer before getting bent out of shape-it's a joke.
To: RWR8189
I don't know which is more humorous, the article, or you're thinking it is a true news piece.

I see there is rampant inflation in your part of the kingdom

If they were serious - and they're not - they might have a point about
Ring Around The Rosie (a charming little recollection of the Black Plague) and
Humpty Dumpty (a mockery of a cannon during the English Civil War - notice that eggs appear nowhere in the rhyme?). If this sort of thing amuses you,

When I was a child, I saw the Roadrunner drop an anvil onto Wile E. Coyote. It was horrible. The coyote's head was flattened and his eyes bulged
way out. I was permanently traumatized.
I now spend all my free time dropping anvils off of buildings and highway overpasses. My aim is so bad, I haven't hurt anyone yet, but I keep trying. Of course, my local blacksmith is starting to wonder what I'm doing with all those anvils.

I grew a lovely garden
it sprouted up a vine
out cropped a tomater
It tasted devine
Until I fell in and was eaten by a gator
*burp*, "I feel fine"- the Gator

Of course lots of children are seriously injured by imitation of poor examples they see on the TV. The Hospitals are full of them. Kids imitating superman and wiley coyote.
