    Default Babies - I saw it.

    I saw it!! If I'm being honest with myself, it wasn't as entertaining as I had hoped. It was still cool though. Ponijao, from Namibia, was the best baby. I am also super glad I wasn't born in Namibia. (SPOILER)"Oh, Ponijao's making a poop. I shall handle this by wiping it on my knee and then rubbing it into my knee with a corn cob." WHAT?!

    Mongolians are kind of assholes. San Franciscans are freaks. Mari-chan's parents were adorable and they showed several places in Tokyo I went. At one point I told my mom "That's where I bought your souvenir! (Meiji Shrine in Harajuku)"

    There is no narration. It's just Ponijao, Mari-chan, Bayarjargal, and Hattie from birth to first steps.

    This film could possibly re-titled "Why the hell isn't anyone watching these kids?" I mean WTF the best supervised kid was the African and his mom just watched while he literally ate a bone he found in the dirt.

    I'm jealous. I want to see it too!

    I checked, and it doesn't seem like it'll be released here

    THat happened off camera. They went through like, 3 of the African babies.

    That's stupid. Just having a camera pointing in the general direction of a child does not automatically mean they are performing any kind of labor.

    Also, the article refers to Ponijao as a "her," which he most certainly is not. I totally want to know what the Namibians got paid for their part. Goats for life?

    Disappointed to hear about the lack of narration. I love babies but I don't know if I want to sit and pay to watch what is basically a baby equivalent to this: Shiba Inu Puppy Cam.

    I can't argue with that. I would have at least liked, I dunno... something. All we got was their names on screen for a few seconds.
