i think the reason everyone's going nuts is because he tried to use humor about how much he dislikes his child.
Hey - that's what humorists do. Good humorists talk about funny things that happen to them. Bad humorists try to make the things that happen to them seem funny, which I think is Pollack's case.
But Pollack is by no means the first humorist in the last hundred years to turn "trouble with the kids at home" into column fodder.
