Somebody needs to teach this kid how to play the piano ASAP.
According to CNN, some poor kid in China named Hong Hong was recently born with 16 toes, 15 fingers, four palms and zero thumbs due to a condition known as polydactyly.
Usually passed down in families, polydactyly occurs once in every 1,000 births. But what makes Hong Hong’s case so dire is the fact that he was born without any thumbs. Hong Hong’s parents have been given mixed advice from doctors, and they have been told a surgery to remove the extra digits and add reconstructed thumbs could set them back almost $30,000.
Despite asking the Internet for help and raising almost $6,000 through donations so far, Hong Hong’s parents have decided to stop the “crowdfunding efforts” for the time being because of “mixed comments they’ve received,” and that’s beyond sad.
I mean, it’s not like we were looking for another example to prove our point, but the fact that some people took issue with this poor family raising money for a life-changing operation goes to show that human beings love to bitch about everything.
Our advice for those whiners? You guessed it: Try going an entire day without using your thumbs to pick things up and see if you’re still against this family asking for help to fix their kid’s hands.
