Don't know what to name your newborn? Forget books on names and etymology — just pick something random from `git log --format=pretty:%an | pcregrep -o '^\S+' | sort -u`!

While this cartoon is very funny it misses the technical point. A decent database language would allow garbage-in/garbage-out and not require the insane amount of (brittle) sanitizing that SQL requires.
Prepared Statements solve this problem. While their use should be mandatory they're not even part of plain SQL.
