Johnson & Johnson Introduces “Nothing But Tears” Shampoo

Nothing But Tears Shampoo

The Onion News Network is reporting on a new shampoo being introduced by Johnson & Johnson, that is basically designed to toughen your wimpy kid up.

A radical departure for the health goods manufacturer, the new shampoo features an all-alcohol-based formula, has never once been approved by leading dermatologists, and is as gentle on a baby’s skin as “having to grow up and fend for your goddamn self.”

“We at Johnson & Johnson have been making bath time a safe and soothing experience for far too long,” company CEO William C. Weldon said. “Years of pampering have left our newborns helpless, feeble, and ill-equipped for the arduous road ahead.”

“It’s time our children got the wake-up call that’s been coming to them,” Weldon continued. “It’s time they cried their precious little eyes out.”…

“You’ll notice a difference after just one use,” said Michelle Baker, head of new product development. “Whether it’s your newborn’s more hardened appearance, the way he now approaches people with guarded skepticism, or just that look on his face that says, ‘Oh wait, maybe life isn’t all hugs and kisses and rainbows. Maybe I need to get my fucking act together.’”

Tip # 3: Bathing

Karl Woll| August 9, 2008 11:45 am

The frequency at which you bathe your children is up to you, and how lazy you are. If you’re like me, a weekly bath is good enough (or until my child no longer passes a quick ’smell test’). Whether you bathe your child daily, every other day, weekly, or monthly, here are a few tips to reduce the frequency of bathing, and increase bathing efficiency.

  • First of all, baby wipes are a great way to give the little one a once-over. It just takes one or two wipes and minimal effort in between clothes changes.
  • If you have two or more children, you should bathe them at the same time.
  • Washing your car? Have the little rug rat lather up and run through the hose. This can be made into a fun game, rather than a ‘bath’.
  • Sprinkler. Even if soap isn’t involved, this definitely counts as a bath.
  • Have a dog? Wash them together to save time and soap.
  • Have a dog (pt 2)? They do wonders cleaning little Billy’s face after a meal.
  • You can clean the bathroom while they splash around in the tub.
  • If all else fails, and you don’t have time to bathe the child before leaving the house, a quick shot of cologne will always do the trick.

Have any more tips to add?
