Funny Cloth Diaper Story in San Diego

I recently ran across a humorous article about cloth diapering in the San Diego City Beat. The article has some strong language but here is an excerpt:
My friends Mike and Jenny are having a baby. Soon they’ll be faced with the dire dilemma facing all breeders in the first world: whether to swath their spawn in cloth or disposable diapers. In the third world, this is not yet as big a dilemma as, say, how to avoid starvation. And in the second world (Myspace), diapers won’t protect your kids from sexual predators.
At this point, you might be tempted to skip right to the phone-sex ads: anything but diapers! Who cares about this? The ultra-conscious anti-Huggie Earth-huggers and their enemies, the corporate baby-waste-industry profiteers, do, that’s who! And they demand that you choose up sides! For breeders, this has become the paper v. plastic v. canvas tote bag, the hybrid v. Hummer v. bicycle, of child-rearing politics. But it’s worse—it involves baby poop and you’ve only got two choices. Either you’re gonna be a new-age, nappy-washing hippie or a landfill-filling, Wal-Martian Pamper camper. You’re a pawn in the diaper war, consumer, and it’s your move.
Now, I don’t have children, and I don’t particularly care for their company until they turn about 19, but I want to help Mike and Jenny, whom I pity. Someday, you will be saddled with this wretched choice or called upon to solve the dilemma for your lucky, lucky friends, so pay attention.
There is a diapers service in San Diego now!!! Oh the joy! Now you can be in between a nappy-washing hippie and a landfill-filling Wal-Martian. URL http://www.happynappydiapers.com
There is another diaper service also — Diaper Service of San Diego. The owners are providing great service — one of them came to my house and showed me the types of diapers and covers. She was so helpful and knowledgeable. I contacted happynappy and was a bit surprised that they wash their diapers in their house. Call me paranoid but I just didn’t like that at all. Diaper Service of SD uses a professional laundry where the water gets very hot so that all germs are destroyed.
