Dear Royal Tannenbaum Yahoo,

You know, I'm not Tom Cruise's number-one fan by a long shot, but when the AP releases a story that his son has gotten an acting job playing Will Smith as a teenager titled Tom Cruise's son, Connor, to make big screen debut, maybe you could try not being the douchebag who adds "adoptive" to the article title on your main page.

Sincerely,

Me

That is one of my major pet peeves. I HATE it when the press, or even just random people, have to qualify someone's kid that way. (On a similar note, I also hate it when someone refers to a biological parent of a kid who's adopted as their "real" mom/dad. Being adopted myself my "real" dad is the one who raised me...)

my 'real dad' is the one who raised me as well ... i used to say 'real dad' to refer to my biological one when i was like, 7. now that i have a further understanding of what i'm saying, i say 'biological father' because saying that my step-dad isn't my 'real dad' is practically blasphemous.

I don't see it, is it still there?

Probably not anymore by now.

I don't see adoptive anywhere, did they remove it?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's probably gone by now. They cycle through their front-page stories pretty fast.
