Let's face it, we all know someone who has kids that are real little animals. When they come to visit and wreck your dvd player, or your brand new digital camera, the thought of putting them in a cage probably crosses your mind. The spoofsters over at [Babycage](http://www.babycage.net) have built a website around this idea, complete with testimonials, an order form, a photo gallery, and a products list. Just to show you how popular the thought of putting bratty kids in cages is, the show Scrubs featured a baby cage in one of their episodes. Just so everyone keeps their cool though, the baby cage is just a spoof, and no cages were harmed in the making of their website.
