Babies Are The New Black

Have you ever noticed how there are trends in news, random subjects that all of a sudden dominate the headlines? I don’t mean things like politics, that become more relevant cyclically because of elections and the fact that people only really care around election time, I mean things that probably happen all the time, but gain popularity in the media for seemingly no reason.

This month I have noticed a couple trends. One being fatal crane collapses, one yesterday in Miami, and one a 10 days ago in New York. So, this is only two, and I’m not sure it happens all the time but it just seems really weird that I have never really heard of this happening before then all of a sudden it happens twice in the same month.

But, the biggie recently is toddlers. Toddlers are in this month for sure. It really doesn’t matter what they’re doing, they are making the news like crazy. People must love baby stories.

Toddler falls into well
Dog bites toddler
Toddler shoots itself, This headline was bullshit, they later revealed that it would take the same amount of force for the child to pull the trigger as the child holding 2 gallons of milk with one finger. It was later ruled a homicide.
Toddler Saves Family
Toddler Found walking alone
Mother and toddler assaulted
Toddler falls from balcony

Replace the word "toddler" with "adult" and all of these stories become irrelevant to popular media.

All this and we still don't know where Suri Cruise is?!?!?!
