I may call myself Big Daddy, but THIS is the Real Big Daddy!


The banner says this Tennessee man, age 29, fathered 21 kids by 11 different women in a span of around 10 years. The funniest part of the whole story: "Many Knoxville residents are calling for him to be castrated."
Myself, I'm a big proponent of the punishment fitting the crime. I'd sentence this man to 1 year straight of being forced to care for all 21 kids at the same time. But alas, I think I'd run afoul there of our 8th Amendment's cruel and unusual punishment clause. Besides, I'm sure the Real Big Daddy would gladly accept castration over my punishment in a heartbeat.
