Brilliant candidate for plastination.
Have we learned nothing from The Thing and Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer?
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
He thought it was really boring at age 14, but his mother said that she didn't want him to ever say that he didn't know what happened to his money.
Did he learn nothing from that time he had to rent an apartment from Rudy with his sad high-school-dropout salary??

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Some of that choice isn't in the parents' hands. It's in the contract that he's not allowed to climb trees, and it's in the contract that Person X/Office Y has to be notified if there's any injury so it can be evaluated (by a doctor and for the camera).
The parents signed the contract. And they can be vigorous or un in telling the neighbors their kid can't climb trees depending on their own conscience and relationship with the kid.
"Timmy, don't climb trees" is different than telling the friends' Mom "well, the studio won't let Timmy climb trees..."

I like the safety warning for the Bacon tiara:
You are going to be working with an enzyme that bonds protein. You are made of protein. Unless you want to glue your lungs together or glue your eyelids to your eyeballs, you absolutely must follow these safety rules. We cannot be held accountable for any mishaps you might have while working with transglutaminase.

That was my favorite part, Sue. I am deeply disturbed by the bacon shingles on the gingerbread house.
I like bacon more than your average bear, but I draw the line at Bacon Crafts.

My nephew has a friend who is a child actor and who has been cast in a couple of series -- when he's over at my sister's house, there's a long list of things he's not allowed to do, and what she must do if anything happens -- because the studio doesn't want the kid to get bruised or otherwise marked.
I realize I'm not a parent, but am I the only one whose instinctive reaction to this would be "Oh hell no. He can opt in for this when he's 18, but for now he gets to go be a kid, bumps, bruises, and all."?
