Unsurprisingly people are getting pretty shitty as the owner of a Dublin cafe threatens to drug crying, screaming babies.
Paul Stenson owner of The White Moose Cafe, is known for taking to social media to express his extreme views. His Facebook war against vegans went viral earlier this year, and one of his recent posts takes aim at parents with hysterical infants.
Dear parents,
If you cannot control your crying (screaming) babies, I will crush up some valium and put it in their fruit juice. Babies are more than welcome in our café, but please ensure that they are asleep throughout the entire duration of their visit.
Paulie
P.S. No charge for the valis. I have a lifetime supply.
Like a tree falling in the forrest, no one hears sarcasm on the internet. Some parents have taken egregious offence to the post commenting with their inflamed opinions.
“It is impossible to control a screaming baby in some circumstances,” commented one user. “It must be a fantastic feeling to be in a position to pick and choose customers. Great business sense altogether.”
While some FB users are onto Paulie like white on rice, calling out his outrageous attempts at internet fame*.
And then other parents were down wind of the sarcasm and caught on pretty quick employing their own senses of humour.
“I’m actually considering taking my kids to White Moose Cafe for the free Valium so I can have a nice time in Dublin!!!” was one crafty response.
*Well aware we’re perpetuating this.
