wtf cares?
I do, for one. You obviously did, for another, since you read the piece and took the time to comment on it. It's not the most important piece of news in my life, but it's certainly more important than a lot of other things on the site today. Do you have something against reading a piece of good news for a child and the thanks and appreciation of his celebrity parents, as opposed to deaths, divorces, and dumb behavior? Are you disappointed that he's going to recover?
I care
