Hippopotamus Porn -

Sorry If I gave the Mods heart attacks,
this is about a Hippo NAMED Porn - and her four day old baby!

Yes, I Imagine "Porn" must mean something completely
different in Thailand -

The size difference is *amazing* isn't it? Yeah, I know baby anythings are usually small compared to their mum, but this shot shows the size difference so well.

Great photo!

I once, on a sponsorship website, saw a Thai child named Porn.

I'm still amused by that. I suppose I'm not very tolerant of other cultures. (Past winners have included Nemrod and Lesbia, but I think "Porn" takes the English-WTFery cake.)

I don't think that a name in another language sounding like or actually BEING something that means something weird in the English language being funny is intolerant. Saying "THOSE NAMES ARE DUMB YOU SUCK BECAUSE YOU ARE THAI AND DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH YOU SHOULD ONLY NAME YOUR CHILDREN DAVE AND SARAH!!!" is intolerant.

On a similar note, My new collegue is called Charlotte, she shortens it to Chaz, She was Teaching her Nickname to our Polish Collegue and he told us that 'Chaz' Is polish for Time, which was interesting to us.

So you see, it works both/all ways.

P.S. Cute hippo OP.

Unrelated, but... that ducky icon is adorable. Is it gankable, and if yes, who should I credit?

Sure, take it! I took it from a friend who stole it from a friend. No credit necessary.

I once knew a girl named Jira-porn. She was Thai as well.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa... I find this hilarious because I had to read just yesterday about Thailand's enormous sex/sex tourism industry. The baaaaaby hippo is, of course, adorable. Yes, I think I should focus on the cute. *shudder*

I love how all babies look cuddly, even if they are a hundred lbs of thick meat :)
