Angelina Jolie Buys Maddox Knives!

Yeah, I'm sure this isn't going to cause any kind of uproar in the Comments section.

Angelina Jolie has admitted to W magazine that she is supporting 7-year-old son Maddox's interest in sharp objects. "My mom took me to buy my first daggers when I was 11 or 12," the actress said. "And I've already bought Maddox some."

Um, ooookaaay.

Angelina, who has been open about being obsessed with knives since she was teen (she even admitted to partaking in self-mutilation for a while) obviously feels like safety isn't an issue when it come to having the blades around Mad or the other five kids in the house. A train of thought which is quite curious to someone like me, who grew up in a house where there was the constant yelling of "Somebody's going to get hurt!" -- even when my brother and I were just playing Monopoly.

What do you think about Angelina supplying her kid with these not-so-kid-friendly toys?

I am an Angelina fan for sure but I think that it's weird to be buying him these things if they aren't properly secured. Famous or not, they have a responsibility to keep their children safe. I'm sure that they are locked up in display cases that Maddox doesn't even have the keys to. I like that she is introducing him to different things. I would imagine that she'll even do the same for her girls. I just love Angelina. She is so unpredictable and mesmerizing. She always keeps me at bay with baited breath. Until then, to sleep perchance to dream.

She seemed like a good mother, but I'm beginning to have second thoughts. Where are the social services threatning to take away the kids if she doesn't remove these weapons from the premises. She has little Zahara and Shilo who are still infants. Maddox is still too young too. Someone can get really hurt or even get killed. I vote to "Let Angie wake up and let her know that just because she's a Celeb it does not give her the right to violate the law." I think what she's doing is illegal. If it would have been regular folk, we would have seen police all over the place and removal of the children and the camera crew taping for the 8 o'clock news.

Welp dear old "Sus" how about all those farms all over America where the little boys have guns or have easy access to guns? What shall we do with those parents then?

Oh come on. Weapons? What's in your kitchen, rubber steak knives? I'm sure the knives Maddox is getting are no more dangerous than your cooks or butcher knife. More murders are committed with those than any other knife type. As Angelina has been around knives, I'm sure she is well educated on safety and that she teaches and supervises her children to make sure they are responsible. I say, keep up the good work Angelina!

Anyone else see a striking resemblance to Michael Jackson in Angie's face in this photo?

# said:

Ok, this post is hilarious. I totally agree with the well written comments of concern.

Cassi said:

Her child...who are we to say anything about how she raises him? Besides, I'm sure she's teaching him safety along with it.

Ma said:

Yessiiiiirrreee me and Pa does our cookins with them there rubber knives you been hearing about. he learned me to use it.

Amy said:

Honestly, she could just be buying them to put in a display case so they can look at it. Just because she's purchasing them, doesn't mean she's going to teach him how to shank somebody!

I know plenty of young kids who have knife and sword collections neatly displayed in a lighted case and it's gorgeous!

Bonny said:

well.. beside if outdoor hunting or fishing is okay have the knife.. but at home situation with alot 6 kids, maddox carry playing with the knife. that is not safety.. concerning issue!!

yawn said:

Well, since it's Angie, it must okay...something akin to the Holy Grail even! Maybe everyone should buy their kids knives sicne the Mother of The Century is doing it! Oh, and don't forget to stock up on the empty vials, too, so that they can fill them with whoever's blood. Wonder if they practice french-kissing their siblings like Angie does as well?

I hope those kids get a group discount on therapists..they're gonna need it....

Cassandra said:

Oh my, oh my, oh my!! Weapons are only dangerous if the person using them is dangerous. It seems that these kids are more well adjusted and spend more time with their parents one on one than many of our non-celebrity children. Since Angelina has an obvious grasp on the reality of our world and the dangers within, being an ambassador and all, she probably is aware of the hazards of using sharp objects improperly. Let's cut her a little bit of slack and take a look at ourselves before we go slandering. She may be eccentric and she may have done some VERY strange things in the past, but who of us can say we don't regret something or things we've done in our teens or early twenties?

Taffeney said:

I agree with you Cassandra! She is a mother that wouldn't intentionally put her kids at risk.

Mary B. said:

Wow I can't believe how offended some of you are. I am also a collector of daggers. My parents bought my first one for me when I was about ten. And I can promise you that I didn't "shank" anyone or "cut" any small children seesh. It's about the beauty of it. I'm sure for Maddox sharing that with his mom is something special. And I'm sure Angie was just as smart as my parents and taught him safety precautions as well.

Angelina is a skank and a whore. What else do you think she would give that nasty looking little bozo. Sharp objects hhmmmm, guess what he will be when he grows up. Does the word CRIMINAL come to mind.

It just goes to show you that Angelina Jolie has a very sick sick mind. It wouldn't surprise me if she isn't the one that teaches him how to have sex. eewwww. But then she is a filthy piece of white trash. That family reminds me of a family in a nice neighborhood that every one calls the WHITE TRASH down the block.

Primadonna said:

I had a katana sword collection from when I was 6. My father who passed away when I was young collected them and gave me some too. We would watch martial arts movies together all the time. I miss him and I can see why Angie who misses her mom would want to rekindle that bond with her son. It's alot safer than loose kitchen knives because they come with leather sheaths/pouches and can be put away in glass cases or hung up high on the walls for decoration. We also had arabic saber swords and daggers, they were breathtaking but no one was allowed to touch them or we'd be on punishment lol.

Someone needs to call social services!!!

NLH said:

So what?? When my son was 7 years old, he was given some pocket knives by his father (who no longer lives with us). He did this so our son has something special from his father, where he can think of him when he's not around. Not my favorite choice of items BUT my son has been taught that they are not toys and that are to be handled with care. He is now 10 years old and he has shown that he can be trusted with items such as these, as he has not sustained one little injury from them. You just have to teach your child to be responsible with these items, as you do with so many other things in life. Teaching from a responsible parent usually means a responsible child.
