Oy.  I hope this is Photoshopped.  Even so, still not very funny... but at least it wouldn't be sick.

I dont' know ... it's kind of cute, non of the tape is touching skin or hair and it looks nicely reinforced and the kid doesn't seem at all distressed. Probably, it's a joke. Probably, it's the first and last time it was done (that's quite a bit of tape). Probably not even done by a true redneck. The taped up duck's a nice touch.

note the hipster colored circles to the right ... looks like a prank by some city dad to me.

Is it bad that I laughed first before thinking that this was a form of child abuse.    Where did you get the photo from?   It seems like it's more of a joke than anything else.

Mama22Boys:  Google "Redneck Timeout" and you'll find a host of places.

Peter:  Someone at one place I saw this does suggest that this was photoshopped, but it looks real to me.

Birdfourth:  If you see the photo up close, the baby doesn't look all that happy.  Not crying, sure, but not thrilled to be there.  And note the hand clutching the duck.

Papaganoose:  Do hipster dads own duct tape?  I thought the circles were part of some deranged game of Twister.
