The kid's been invited to a birthday party at the weekend at some place that requires a waiver submitting. Waiver includes details like Kid's Date of Birth and copyright over media taken for use in their marketing.
I'm kind of "No, fuck that".
Thoughts?
I don't like giving that info out for myself, never mind on behalf of someone who can't reasonably give their consent.
I suppose I could just make shit up...

- I'm in "fuck that" or "hilarious fakery" side, but I also have a special hatred for the type of photo / vid type you're going to be running across.garbage
- Don't do it. They'll jab your kid and you'll end up with a non-human.palimpsest

- A birthday party that requires legal paperwork? Fist fuck that concept in the ass and mouth.jagara
- An interesting venue. Given what it is though, I'd've assumed it'd be insured to the hilt, so I'm guessing the waiver's merely a dissuasive measure.Nairn
