The jig is up, Sam.

What is the old saying? "Out of evil, no good shall come"? That's it. And it's been true up until now ….

The Tennessee Department of Human Services has recently notified more than 15,000 parents who are behind at least $500 in child support that they face losing their recreational-sports licenses if they don't pay up soon.

Does anyone else find this as hilarious as I do? All I can picture is some deadbeat dad swigging beer out in a field, stumbling around and pretend-shooting ducks because his hunting license was revoked. It's making me giggle, really.

Of course, it would be even better if all states that issue these kinds of notifications (or sell duck stamps) were to include information on why sport hunting is cruel and unnecessary (because deadbeats are apparently as oblivious to their own offspring as they are to Bambi's mom). Oh, and stuff a diminutive male genitalia disorder pamphlet in there as well. Knowledge is power, people!

That's great! I wish I was there to see these redneck idiots losing their "fun" hunting time. Seems like some sort of karmic balance. Can't take care of your own kids? Well you can go and destroy an animals family either by killing one of its members.

IS THIS FOR REAL ? AT LEAST IT MAY HELP SAVE SOME POOR LITTLE DUCKS, BIRDS AND CUTE LITTLE BAMBIES.

Umm...WOW. I have never in my life thought I would be saying "I hope they don't pay child support." There is obviously a correlation between losers who don't care for their children and losers who kill animals for fun. Who woulda guessed?... ;)

Gee, I don't think you could possibly be more condescending.

LOL! Well, although i dont condone not paying child support, I do find it IMMENSELY funny that the poor "father of the years" will not be able to go kill some creatures..LOL
