You need to be Wiser, Bud. Sapporo decision. I don’t mean to Harp on this, but no one is going to give this Pabst a Blue Ribbon for parenting.
Are you Guinness?
CBS-— A driver in Canada who allegedly strapped a toddler to a beer case instead of a car seat was charged with failing to properly secure a child, police said.
The 22-year-old driver was pulled over early Tuesday at around 2:30 a.m. in the village of Atwood, near Listowel, therecord.com reported. Ontario Provincial Police officers say a 2-year-old child was also in the car, sitting on a 30-can case of beer.
The Wellington North driver, who was not unidentified in order to protect the child’s privacy, had allegedly put the case on the seat of his car and strapped the child to it.
The toddler was not injured. A child seat was brought to the driver, and Family and Children’s Services was notified of the incident, CP24 reported.
ht/ jd hasty
It probably scared the Schlitz out of that kid when the cop pulled up.
Wanna bet he’s a snowbird who left Florida in May?
Guinness gracious! He should be in the Moron Olympiacs!
How awful to risk that poor yuengling.
The family will be telling stories about this for years to come. Of course, there’ll probably be other run-ins with the law, but this story will be an Old E but a goody.
This story sounds foamy to me.
poor little kid… he barley sowed his oats.
Start at :19 for the sound I’m making in response to the puns.

Oly, Oly Oxen free! You’ll only get this if you’re from the Pacific Northwest or Clint Eastwood. And do you think he’ll also get a Blue Ribbon for being an idiot? Where’s Doug and Bob McKensie and the Great White North when you need them to make fun of this?
Canadian, has to be Labatt Blue! They don’t drink US piss beer.
He wouldn’t have gotten a fine if he was using a case of Canadian beer.
Not to try and defend the guy but the price of beer and alcohol in Ontario makes it difficult to afford a car seat. Priorities?
What is a two year old doing being out a 2 in the morning anyway. And, was the 30 pack stacked 1 high or 2 high. 1 high is just about right. 2 high would definitely be unsafe.
Bravo for them
Anybody with common sense knows you don’t set your kid on a beer case. The kid goes on the seat holding a bag of ice to set the beer on. Done differently the tykes body heat would warm the beer. Amateurs!
Actually not that bad of a solution if you don’t have that car seat. Raises the kid up to put the lap and diagonal belts in the proper position.
When I was that age, seat belts were in the future. I survived. Never wore a bicycle helmet either.
Then I got old. I don’t even think about belts in the car. Reflex to strap in (military air transport will re-enforce this) and position the belts. And I’m one of the motorcycle riders that lives the “all the gear, all the time” maxim. I’d much rather burn off $500 of gear is a slide than my sweet hide.
What’s wrong with MOLSON….EH?

On the other hand, what good does a child seat do when you are thirsty?
Wow. A lot of Hamms on this thread.
Why does that Molson beer commercial remind me of the I’m a lumberjack song and skit by Monty Python?
The authorities should put the kid in Foster’s care.
Did anyone mention anything about the Rainier’s and the Artesians. I seen em, the Artesians was a great commercial as well as bumper sticker back in the 70’s. Or the rebuses on the inside of Lucky Lager bottle caps. And if it had been in redneck country the poor little kid would’ve been sitting on a case of Billy Beer back in the mid 70’s. riding in the back of his stepdad’s beat up pickup truck in order to keep it from bouncing out of the back end of the pickup.
Was the baby in the front seat or the LeBatts?
A lotta work, all them puns.
All puns aside, Canadians are fuggin’ nazis. Was the kid hurt? In danger? The driver drunk?
No?
Then go handcuff Sasquatch instead you stupid jack booted socialists.
Those damn CanoeHeads can be very Kalik-y and insular.
Just like trying to ‘think for ourselves’, using ingenuity is prohibited by those that wish to forever hold sway over OUR lives.
geoff the aardvark, was it the lager that made you think of the lumberjack song?
Yeah, that was pretty lame…

Buddy of mine was on a bike. Drunk. Raining like hell. Laid it down on a curve and his protective gear consisted of a hard plastic “Goody” comb in the back pocket of his jeans. He was sliding on the comb at about 50 mph and said everything went slo mo and he slid off into some grass and could see a cut tree stump coming up on him… sticking up about two inches… but was slowing down fast… it tore half a butt cheek off. Other than that he didn’t have a mark on him.
Funny thing about bike whipeouts, I always went into either slow mo or click frame mode too. I raced bikes and laying one down usually isn’t a big deal… if you have proper gear on… unless you think you are almost stopped sliding and stand up at 30 mph. It gets real interesting real fast then. Best to just lay back and ride it out until you stop completely.
HOW FASCIST WE’VE BECOME
When I was a kid, we didn’t even HAVE seatbelts in our car!
Now, you don’t use a seatbelt, they call child protective services, and issue fines.
If you would have told someone back in 1970, “In the future, if your child doesn’t wear a seatbelt, the government will take your kids away, and saddle you with 100s of dollars in fines.” They would say the future SUCKS and is full of crazies.
What a scummy world we’ve made for ourselves.
And if we rode in the back of my Grandfather’s International P/U truck like we did back in the day, my 3 brothers and I and my cousins we’d all be arrested and my grandfather hauled off for child abuse. Ah those were the days of freedom to be a kid. Or lying down in the back portion of my parents 63 Dodge station wagon without a seat belt when we went on road trips.
So. Would things have turned out differently if little one was sitting on a politically correct case of diet Coke?
You guys and your Lowenbrau humor.
i got high on a case of beer once too
So did a lot of us, when you’re young and stupid you have to learn the hard way. Back when you could drink legally in Idaho at 19 a friend I celebrated his 19th birthday by getting drunker than a skunk drinking beer over at a bar in State Line, Id., it was a big puke fest and mistake which we both regretted later.
