Our Fascination with Babies

This is one of the cutest clips I have ever seen. Watching this, I started thinking about how much money the media makes off of babies- and how many shows and movies you can find that involve babies- human or otherwise! A couple off the top of my head include Family Guy (show), "Look who is Talking Now"( movie), and finally Orangutan Island (show on Animal Planet). This proves that as a society, we are fascinated by babies!

It's interesting because our common reading experience book is The Beast in the Garden and there is such a fascination with animal babies. I found several baby snow leopard videos that would be interesting in a class dealing with that book. (And they are totally cute.)

That video is wicked cute. I love Stewie from Family Guy and when I was younger I was obsessed with The Rugrats. The media definitely makes a lot of money off of babies because they are adorable and everybody loves them! I love those etrade commercials with the talking babies.
