Perfect Metaphor For The Nanny State: The "Adult Baby"

As the National Geographic narrator points out in this twisted relationship below, "she's not Stanly's mom, but she's happy to play that role." The same can be said of our political leaders, the only difference being that most of us do not get some sick joy when we treated like "adult babies."


I have to comment that I don't think the expert in the clip above is right at all about people feeling "threatened by something that is out of the ordinary" or by the "taboo" that is this "adult baby." People feel disgusted that a grown man could regress to the point that they are putting on diapers and not be sent to a real psychologist for immediate treatment. Not a soul feels "threatened" by these literally childish antics. Tweet
