Wussy Piñata

Birthday parties are a fun tradition. Almost everyone has good memories from them growing up. A few bad too, but generally the idea is a good one.

There are a lot of traditions associated with these parties. Pin the tail on the donkey. Clowns. Magicians. Streamers. Balloons. Cake, ice cream. All kinds of stuff that is good and wholesome. Not everyone does all of those things. Most people skip a lot of it. But that are all associated with childhood parties

Another one is the piñata. It’s a great time for children. You blindfold the little bastards, give them a bat, spin them around and tell them to whack it. Once they break it, everyone gets candy. What could be more fun for little kids?

Turns out, there are evil people in the world that apparently hate the idea of piñatas. They have spent their evil thoughts and spiteful minds on destroying the tradition. They came up with the following idea: A pull piñata. Basically, they attached a bunch of strings to the piñata. One of the strings opens the piñata. Take turns pulling until candy is released.

What the mother fucking hell. I mean god damn people. This is a fucking staple of growing up. If you don’t want your children to have the ‘violent’ piñata, throw candy on the floor and walk away. There is no fucking reason to fuck with the piñata concept here. Jesus fuck Christ on a fucking pogo stick. The candy is good, but half the fun is hitting the damn thing. What's the mother fucking point if you take that way?

If you don’t want your spawn to enjoy the 'whacking with a stick' fun… that’s fine. Don’t have one. Many a party has gone fine without them. But these crappy imitations are a mockery of the idea. A mockery of the tradition. And what the fuck... let them hit something with a stick! Fucking pull strings. I swear.

It's yet another gentrification by the boomers "oh no - let's not make anything skill related or competitive, let's neuter the process so two year olds and six year olds both get an even chance". Retarded. I've seen kids with Pinata's, there's always 1 or 2 powerhouses who are just natural with a bat in their hands, there's the average hitter who just gets a mild thunk on it, and there's the kids who are more a danger to the surroundings and other kids (and themselves) than the target. It's stupid - there's nothing like seeing a pinata go for wack after wack only to be swarmed by kids like a cow in a pirhana pool when it finally drops.

The news is full of anti-discipline messages from "experts" - no hit your kids, only reward them. Don't tell kids they have problems they need to work on - tell them they're working and trying hard. Coddle. Nurture. This is just another aspect of the same mentality - no competition, no stress.... for the parents.
