THESE new parents are under fire for choosing a baby name that some say would be perfect for a drug lord.
The name, which is actually a noun, has some seriously disturbing criminal connotations.

Reddit user Anonymousnobody9 posted a photo that revealed a baby’s name to be Cartel[/caption]
A Reddit user who goes by Anonymousnobody9 posted a screenshot of an Instagram post about the baby’s birthday party on Reddit.
The photo shows a baby boy next to a tall white cake with a decorative topper.
The cake topper marks his date of birth, Feb 18, 2021.
It also says his unusual name, written in white.
The boy’s parents named him Cartel.
“Not great to associate your kid with drug lords,” the Reddit user wrote.
This alarming and unusual name choice left other Reddit users baffled.
One person commented: “He’s going to have a fun time if he ever has to go through airport security.”
“Maybe his parents want him to be one in the future,” another user joked.
One stunned viewer didn’t find the name as funny.
Instead, they commented: “I don’t like this baby name. Please don’t mind what I’m trying to say, cause I’m being honest.”
But the name wasn’t the only part that concerned viewers.
Cartel’s beige-themed birthday bothered them as well.
“Why is this poor kid’s birthday party so…beige?” one user questioned.
“It’s a bit depressing; colors are stimulating for kids and contrast helps build visual pathways in the newborn,” another replied.

Mark Zuckerberg promises ‘major updates’ to Horizon avatars after his is widely mocked
Mark Zuckerberg says that Meta has “major updates” planned for its VR graphics after previously sharing an image of his own VR avatar that was widely mocked. He said the company would share more details about the changes at its upcoming Connect conference.
Zuckerberg’s update comes several days after a screenshot from Horizon Worlds, the company’s social VR environment, went viral on Twitter.
The images were originally shared last week alongside an announcement that Horizon Worlds was launching in France and Spain. The screenshot showed a nearly featureless Zuckerberg avatar in front of a VR Eiffel Tower and Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia. The image quickly took on a life of its own on Twitter as people mocked the low-res and amateur-looking graphics. In particular, many questioned why Zuckerberg’s avatar was so flat and lifeless when the company has spent billions of dollars and staked its future on the success of the metaverse.

Though Zuckerberg didn’t directly address the critiques, he acknowledged the image he had previously shared was “pretty basic,” and promised improvements. His latest post included two new, much more detailed and lifelike renders: his avatar and an outdoor scene depicting ancient ruins.

“I know the photo I posted earlier this week was pretty basic — it was taken very quickly to celebrate a launch,” Zuckerberg wrote. “The graphics in Horizon are capable of much more — even on headsets — and Horizon is improving very quickly.”
