EMBARRASSMENT TO THE MAX

 OK so this one dad, Scott Makintosh, in Utah decides he's had enough of his daughter wearing inappropriate clothing. Now the question remains how to show her how demeaning and embarrasing she is with those short shorts. The answer, literally SHOW HER how it feels. He took a pair of scissors to jeans and let loose. The dad, the daughter, the family and a whole bunch of Utahns were about to get the 'full view'. It was reported that the teen girl held strong after a game of minigold and dinner at a restaurant  but broke down, and stayed in the car, when the family decided to stop for milkshakes. There is some conjecture over whether or not the girls friends were there. There has also been no sitting of his daughters short shorts since the entire incident went viral. Surprisingly the incident in question has come at a somewhat tense time as there is currently a dispute over whether or not parents should have the authority to tell their children what to wear and that if they do have the right is public humiliation a reasonable way of teaching that lesson. What do you think? Feel free to post below.

  1. I think this is a really funny way of teaching your kids what not to wear. If it had been me, I would have stopped wearing them when they told be not to wear them. I think that this teenage sought her own embarrassment by not obeying her parents.

  2. I absolutely admire this man! He put some humor into this lesson and he succeeded. I personally don't understand the concept of short shorts. Why do you want to go walking around with your thighs exposed to the public anyway? The only time I wear shorts is when I go to the beach, but there are some girls who wear them all the time. Even in cold whether!

  3. This is funny. I can't believe that the Dad actually did that! I would be so embarrassed if my Dad did that, but then again I can't see my Dad doing that maybe my Mom but not my Dad. This is a good article and it caught my attention;. Thanks for posting it!

  4. I guess that being the daughter of that father would be really embarrassing and that would actually teach me a lesson. I can imagine how disturbing it would be having a father that takes you where with really short shorts. But this post is actually quite funny.

  5. I heard about this a while ago! I actually really admire this man! The fact that he did this not only shows that he has a lot of nerve and guts, but it shows that he's trying to get a point across to his stubborn daughter. I personally think short shorts aren't very appealing. I don't understand what makes them so desirable. I'm sure it taught the girl a lesson, haha. Hopefully it showed other girls as well! Nice article Gio!

  6. wow that poor girl. I think it is funny but if it happened to me I would be really really mad. It is a really creative way to teach someone a lesson and I doubt that she will ever wear short shorts again. If I knew my parents would punish me like that then I would probably be an angel and wear the most conservative clothes ever.

  7. What a funny story! I would be extremely embarrassed if I was this girl, but I would take into consideration what he's trying to teach me, no matter how embarrassing if may be, and maybe try to see his perspective and opinion about it! Short shorts are embarrassing not only for any girl who wears them, but all those around her as well. I applaud this certain girl's father for being so gutsy as to actually cut his own jeans and strut around with his daughter, trying to prove a point. I hope she learned her lesson, along with all those who wear short shorts that they are simply humiliating themselves!

  8. This is hilarious! It must of been soooo embarassing. I would be so mad if my dad did that to me, but i would understand if my dad felt like that. I hope this girl learned a lesson. I hope that the dad did too, because that was really mean. lol

  9. This is a good lesson for a kid so they stop wearing or doing bad things! But if that actually happened to me i would laugh and laugh and take a video of my dad wearing short shorts.

  10. This reminds me of the dad who got mad at his daughter and destroyed her laptop. A lot of teens out there no longer have respect for themselves and others and it's really sad. I know that people have different beliefs but it's obvious that this father does not want his daughter to dress the way she does. She should respect his wishes and respect him.
