That's right - I said Red Hottt

"God Won't Hot Sauce You ... But You Need To Learn Consequences" {Or, the new Christian method of corporal punishment - AKA: "WWBWD? - What Would Blair Warner Do?"}


I swear, I'm not making it up. According to Christian circles, Hot Saucing the tip of your wee bairn's tongue is the way to punish them - without really punishing them.

What does this mean? Well, besides McIlhenny experiencing a spike in their sales - due to Upstanding Christian Parents using Tabasco in an almost sadistic manner - there will be the spawn of those Upstanding Christian Parents, afraid of anything beyond the utterly banal for the rest of their days, associating it (in an almost-Pavlovian sense) with punishment and negativity.


So, I leave it to you all to discuss, debate and decimate. Hot Saucing: Legitimate Punishment Method - or Borderline Child Abuse?

years ago, my brother used to chew on his shirts constantly. My mom used to kid around and say she was going to start putting hot sauce on his shirt to keep him from doing it. but she never did, and i don't think she was ever serious about it. once he realized he looked like a goof with ripped colars (from chewing), he stopped.

in any case, i think it's a little screwy. I'd never try anything spicy after that. then again, I still think kids do need a good spanking every now and then. so take that for what it's worth. *shrug*

Yeah, it's quite screwy. I've nothing against spanking a kid when its deserved - and I think that hot-saucing a kid's tongue is almost extreme!
