The baby will probably have everything he/she needs
so just a token present, like maybe a jumper for 6-12 months or something like that. And a spa day (or eve, or session, depending on your budget) for the parents. I know they'll appreciate something thinking about them rather than only the baby.

What's that got to do with the parents being cheapskate beggar scum?
Got to be silver? They're signing the poor little cunt up to a religion started by the chief hippy of bronze age fucking austerity and now they're whimpering for silver gewgaws? Fucking hell. They should sterilise that sort of cunt before they learn what to do with their rancid pikey genitals.

No, it's not
it was boring and the stories didn't make any sense. They tried to be real, but they were just too silly.

There's one that is EXCELLENT:

Tintin in the Congo:
'He is made chief of an African village because he is a “good white man”. “This book contains imagery and words of hideous racial prejudice, where the ‘savage natives’ look like monkeys and talk like imbeciles,”

Racism for kids
I recently introduced the Bonzos to my 5 year old. He wanted to hear Look Out There's a Monster Coming, so I looked up a video on my phone and discovered this gem from Do Not Adjust Your Set, featuring the band blacked up to perform the calypso classic www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HeEFxgktVg
