Brad Caught Driving Pax -- Britney Style

How can you compare this to Britney? I'm no fan of Brad Pitt, but at least he loves his children unlike Britney. He's not driving down a major highway with a baby on his lap, he's riding a golf cart beside some port a potties! I don't think you will ever see him or Angelina trying everything humanly possible to have their children taken away from them by the courts just because they don't love or want their children anymore. This is such a joke!

Im from Louisiana. It is not required by law to have a helmet, seatbelt, or child safety seat on the so-called "all-terrain vehicle"...aka, golf cart. Please read up on your laws before you accuse someone of doing something against the law when its actually not.

Pitt, Jolie and family make Springfield visit out of spotlight

The entire Pitt clan ? including oldest sibling Brad Pitt and his family ? were out Wednesday night for food and camaraderie at Arris' Pizza on Republic Road.
The group included Jane and Bill Pitt; their adult kids Brad, Doug and Julie Neal; Doug's wife, Lisa; Julie's husband, Rob; and Brad's partner, Angelina Jolie; and the eldest Pitts' brood of 11 grandkids.
Brian Keppy, Arris' kitchen manager, was working when the family came in during the dinner rush.
"Yeah, we got a phone call. They just came in like anybody else. They pretty much took up the whole back section," he said.
Other patrons left the family alone, and the Pitts didn't seek attention, Keppy said. No one took photos or asked for autographs as far as he knows. That includes staff members who didn't have to be told to treat their famous guests like everyone else.
"It was nice and low key. It just looked like one of those holiday (family) things," Keppy said.
Lisa Pitt says the family enjoyed being able to go out together. It helped that one of Arris' owners, Joe Kremer, is their neighbor, she said.
"Arris' is awesome. Everybody was hungry, so it was great," Lisa Pitt said.
"The kids had so much fun. They got to relax and eat out with their family."
Though she's sure people noticed them, especially because of all the kids, she confirmed that no one bothered them in the packed restaurant. That's actually pretty typical when Brad and Angelina visit Springfield, Lisa Pitt said.
"We went to the movies last year when they came and people were just so cool. Even when we go shopping. I think everybody here is so used to the family," she said.
Compared to other places Pitt and Jolie live and travel, Lisa Pitt said, "I think they really, really appreciate Springfield" as an escape from the spotlight.

That is NOT a golf cart. Check out the tires, they would tear the bejesus out of the greens. It's an ATV, the kind used by hunters that really want to get into the thicket. If you notice the back of the ATV is very wide that way it can carry a deer or other large animal. Don't jump on me, I never hunted a day in my life, but I do have an ATV that was purchased in a store that sells them and their called ATVs not golf carts.

awww come on now , that was nothing compared to brit, we have done the same thing a hundred times with our grandkids. it looks to me like brad was giving him his first atv driving lesson and ask any child that does it , they love it... so koo doe's to you Brad have fun with the kids and make thier life fun... you ppl complaining did your parents ever do anything with you that was fun and a wonderfull memorie???? i know mine did as well as my grandparents.... i grew up on a farm and have awsome memories.....

You all are idiots. There are a million farmers who have kids this age driving ATV's by themselves. It's a dad showing their son how to drive, under total control. I don't know what guarded planet you all come from, but it's a shame you grew up wrapped in protective shipping foam, instead of being a kid that learned something.

Get a like paparazzi, so you don't remember you parents riding with you in they're lap for fun! If not, oh how sad your life must have been. Leave this fine man alone, he seems to be a great father and this is not the kind of dirt that you should be exposing. Especially when there is none, you just make yourself look desperate & needy for a story on Brad Pitt & Angelina!

Ok so call me Redneck or what not but people that's how we roll (hee hee) here in Louisiana. I rode a TRUE ATV all day new years with a 6 year old with no helment or seatbelts.. Just want to let you know that he hasn't SINNED and he isn't a horrid father, normal people do the same thing daily!!!! So get off your high horses, let the man live a semi- normal life and try to enjoy life people!!!!

The all terrain vehicle does look suspiciously like a golf cart and if the kid had been kitted out with full safety gear I'm sure the headlines would have been 'Is Brad Being Pax Paranoid?'.

Please, where is the seat belt that isn't being used? There isn't one because this vehicle doesn't go on the ROAD and doesn't require the use of seat belts or car seats. For Christ's sake, I'm not defending Brad or anyone else but this is just pure STUPIDITY. A kid can get hurt walking on the grass, does that mean that parents are bad if they don't dress their kids in full body armor 24 hours a day?

You people who think this is a safety issue are idiots who were obviously dropped on your heads by your fantastic parents.

I don't understand what all the Broo Haa Haa is about letting you kid sit you your lap while driving. Their not Psycho Driving or Driving on the Freeway, Brads was on Private Property and Brit was just going to the store. Lets calm down here. All eight of us kids sat on our parents lap and my brother could drive a semi by the time he was 12. If they do it on Private Property and it isn't hurting anyone then more power to you. Go Brit and Brad!!!

BE SERIOUS! THERE IS NO COMPARESON TO BRITNEYS PARENTING WITH BRAD PITT. C'MON!! THE MEDIA IS ALWAYS GOING TO TRY TO FIND SOMETHING WRONG BUT IF ANYTHING MR PITT HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BEST CELEBRITY FATHERS I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME!!

Nitpick..nitpick..nitpick.... so what guys. You make bucks by photographing or filming celebs. But when you make IMMATURE nitpicking negative comments, it just ruins our mood. DON'T YOU GUYS KNOW THAT WHEN YOU COMMENT, IT'S NOT THE STARTS' SHORTCOMING (IF EVER) WE ARE UP AGAINST WITH, BUT YOU.
WE JUST WANNA LOOK AT THE PICS..SOME OUT OF CURIOSITY, SOME OF ADULATION AND SOME OUT OF PURE INTEREST. WE HATE IT WHEN YOU COMMENT THE ABOUT THE PICS YOU TAKE AND SHOW OFF YOUR STUPIDITY.

I think Brad is a great father and I am shocked that he jeopardized his son that way!
