If you’re the drinkin’ type, check out Man Cave Daily’s list of “5 TV Dads It Would Be Fun to Get Drunk With.”

Modern Family‘s Jay Pritchett is on the list, as is Arrested Development‘s Michael Bluth (pictured above).

See the rest of the list at the sauce below. Did MCD miss anyone?

We always love a good “fat dads make fat kids” story, but this one didn’t get full-on ORLY status because of the twist.

Some smart dudes at the the University of Adelaide’s Robinson Institute Research Centre for Reproductive Health tested mice and found that the sperm of overweight fathers actually passes the obesity trait down to children.

These results were presented at the World Congress on Human Reproduction in Melbourne, presumably in the morning so it would ruin everyone’s buffet lunches.

So far in the fat mice, daughters seem to be more susceptible than sons. Also – fathers that shape-up and lose weight are less likely to pass it onto their kids. Next step – human testing.

There’s a “New Dad Boot Camp” in lower New York, sponsored by the NYC Dads Group. The three-hour class also has the new dads practice changing diapers and confidently holding babies, but more importantly, the class helps support new dads emotionally; the group talks about issues that new dads and dads-to-be might not want to discuss with their wives, as well as father-specific emotions.

Matt Schneider, one of the facilitators of the workshops, says that “so often mothers feel like they’re the only ones who know how to take care of their baby. We want to make sure that fathers don’t get pushed out in those early weeks.” Schneider is also co-founder of NYC Dads Group.

Here’s the schedule for the next couple of classes:

• Saturday, December 10, 2011 – Upper East Side @ 92nd Street Y
• Saturday, January 14, 2012 – Park Slope @ Tribeca Parenting
• Saturday, January 28, 2012 – Tribeca @ Tribeca Parenting

So you probably saw this video making the Facebook rounds the past few weeks and thought, “Wow, what a powerful message!” or “This is worth sharing!”.

I admit that I watched this video last night and as a father, I kinda felt for this kid’s story. I had my own experiences in middle school with bullies and others that I didn’t quite get along with – that was with minimal adversity. Thinking about my own daughter, I know it’s bound to happen in her lifetime too. As much as I want to protect her from the evil in the world, she has to learn about the dark side at a comfortable click to appreciate and cherish the good.

As a multimedia guru, I was impressed by the the kid’s video concept. The song fit well with the hand-written cards, appealing to the realness of the message. Never suspected it was lifted from another similar video.

As an internet user, I had my doubts to its authenticity. I hate to generalize, but most little dudes around the age of twelve are not that awesome.

Should you feel foolish that you wasted your time sharing and replying to this so-called “fake” original video? No. I’ll explain why.
