Proving yet again that the ability to reproduce has almost nothing to do with the ability to parent, ABC News reports on a video uploaded to YouTube by a father egging his toddlers into fistfights. Take a look at the diaper-set cage match, and despair at the notion that it’s apparently a hot YouTube trend:

I have no trouble with raising boys to be boys, and encouraging physicality rather than attempting to blunt it. However, that’s not the issue here. Dad clearly was the only one enjoying this fight, so much so that he removed the older brother — who has more sense than his father — when he attempted to intervene between his two younger siblings. Only when blood started to flow did the father stop egging on the fight. That wasn’t enough to keep Dad from posting the spectacle onto YouTube, apparently thrilled to have produced such an entertaining clip.

The worst part? He’s not alone in thinking that. I guess the question is whether YouTube encourages people to behave like idiots, or whether it just enables the normal percentage of idiots to be more visible. I’m hoping it’s the latter.
