These people deserve to be shot in their fucking heads.

How do you do this to your child? How the fuck can anyone be so heartless? And on Christmas morning to boot?

That poor little kid :(

[Khariz]

Yeah man, that's mean as fuck.

[Drektor]

Sad.

[Snapp]

That pisses me off.

[Sylvan Dreams]

In a few years, he will be coming to school with a shot gun and this will be why.

[Zentoph]

I was thinking theres no fucking way that these parents would sit and laugh like that, I figured they were going to get the xbox, but the video ends. After looking at the comments and viewing the original video, the reason they did this is because he sneaked a look the night before and already saw the xbox360 that they bought for him.

funny as fuck imo.

[Scott]

Never trust break.com for a description of a video. If you read the comments, the original is here:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=VhO-OE931D4

The description reads:
My mom decides to buy my brother an Xbox 360 for christmas. We leave that night and return the next morning to find he has sneaked a look....just as my mom thought he would, this is the result...and yes he did get the game i will try to post the second video

[diethx]

Since the original video is exactly the same as the video I linked to, only with a different description, how can you tell which one's truthful if there's no video of him getting the system?

Either way, I hope you're right, because shit like that is how sociopaths are created.

[Bobmuhthol]

One difference is that the youtube video was posted a lot longer than 21 hours ago.

[diethx]

Nevermind, I just checked the dates and see the other one was from two Christmases ago. That does make me feel a bit better for sure. Still, that's a messed up prank to play on your child and then laugh in his face when he's crying. Not nearly as messed up as the other situation though.

[Snapp]

Okay, maybe I'm not so pissed. ;)

[TheEschaton]

Dude, I feel like my parents were constantly crushing my dreams on Christmas. Maybe its all you spoiled bitches who actually get XBox360s who don't get how fucking funny this is. ;)

[RichardCranium]

I got sheets for my bed for my birthday once. This isn't shit really.

[diethx]

You two are missing the point. We weren't mad because we thought his parents didn't get him an xbox. We were mad because it looked as though they were just fucking with him, pulling a cruel prank, and then laughing in his face when he was genuinely sad, hurt, and crying. That kind of shit can cause some serious emotional issues (that shit = having the people you trust most treat you like that, not = your parents not getting you an xbox for Christmas). There's a big difference between that and you getting shitty presents for Christmas.

[TheEschaton]

I think you're (specifically) under the assumption that your (generally) parents are the people you (generally) trust the most.

[diethx]

I think you're (specifically) under the assumption that your (generally) parents are the people you (generally) trust the most.

Uh, when you're about 10, tops, like that kid was... who do you trust more than your parents/primary caregivers?

[Gigantuous]

People that don't beat you on a daily basis? That don't lock you in a basement "for your own good"?

Just sayin', just cause you're young and have parents/caregivers, don't mean that you trust them at all.

[diethx]

Extreme exceptions not included, OBVIOUSLY. If the kid was being beaten and locked in the basement, i'd have much bigger problems than them just making him cry over an xbox prank. That aside, i'm willing to gather that any child abused in such a manner wouldn't be able to trust anyone at all.

[Gigantuous]

Except the person/people responsible for getting them out of such a shitty situation.

i'm just arguing for the sake of arguing, i agree it's pretty shitty them laughing in his face when he's clearly upset to the point of tears. but if he DID sneak a peek at his gift the night before, then the little fuck got what he deserved.

christmas ain't about the gifts, even though that's what it has become.

[Stanley Burrell]

The kid obviously deserves it for FAILING at rocking the infamous super Goku hairdoo. I'm actually kind of jealous. I'd walk around super saiyajin all day if I knew no one would see me. I was forced into suffering Chanukah, you lucky anime cartoon-haired sunnuvabitch :'(

It's just as bad as that dad who filmed his same-age kid's reaction to the old exorcist "turn up your speakers" prank. In that one, there already existed a foundation, these folks were just awesome and happened to tape themselves murdering childhood: Like Freud.

Um. Honestly. I think kids; and their parents, need to have some sort kind of time-defying prank. Something ongoing. Always lurking in the shadows. Ready to strike with an age-old father-and-son prankedness that'll strengthen our familial bonds. In the weirdest ways possible. Yet remind us of our attachments and who we are.

I mean, honestly, pranks are the foundation of comedy -- One of the very essences of life that makes us real. Imagine having parents you could never joke with (or at yourselves, with) or talk to about sex? Or anything taboo? We probably need to beat our children more often and break down these barriers just to remind those birthed that their colossal caretakers are mammals too. Such reassurances might help the human race to not have a collective stick up the ass of all Earthlings 25/7 towards anything related to a career in parenting.

This one probably won't be considered as bad since the kid's white.

[Peanut Butter Jelly Time]

Being white has a lot less to do with it, considering that kid hardly looked upset at all. The other kid looked crushed, like he was legitimately going to shoot shit up.

[Nieninque]

I thought it was funny....even when I thought it was real.

Is that bad for a social worker?

[Shalla]

I feel bad for the kid. I thought the mom's reaction was priceless. You should never EVER get that look from your children; no matter what.

[Gigantuous]

What if you have asshole kids?

[Shalla]

Asshole kids will never give that look, maybe a look of contempt, but never a look of disappointment.

[Nieninque]

Holy shit...he didnt get a fucking toy. Big deal.
If that's the biggest disappointment he gets in his life, he has done well.

[Gigantuous]

Asshole kids still get disappointed when they don't get what they want.

[Asha]

Lol his hair went white from sheer disappointment.

[Methais]

The black kid supposedly got his XB360 anyway though, they were just fucking with him since he was peeking at his presents the night before. The white kid just got fucked.

[diethx]

Uh, yeah. You don't belong working with children if you find humor in a child's pain.

[TheEschaton]

If you work with pain on any level for extended periods of time, which it seems you never have, you have to find the humor in it or you'll never survive.

[diethx]

Sorry, there's no humor in a child's pain. Maybe you need to detach yourself, sure. But there's nothing funny about a child in pain.

I forgot though, you worked with people who have AIDS, so you know everything about human behavior. rofl, don't pretend you know me from an internet message board. Get the fuck over yourself.

[TheEschaton]

Get the fuck over a child's pain as if "not receiving an XBox360" is real pain, and warrants a bullet in the head for those who would do such a dastardly thing.

[diethx]

Get the fuck over a child's pain as if "not receiving an XBox360" is real pain, and warrants a bullet in the head for those who would do such a dastardly thing.

ROFL, again, you miss the point. Maybe if you could remove your head from your own ass for a moment, you might get it (and quit comparing everyone's pain to your own as if you know something about it, and oh yeah, you're in law school, we know).

The pain doesn't originate from him not getting an xbox, as I have already explained to you. The pain originates from his parents tricking him, and then LAUGHING AT HIM AND MOCKING HIM WHILE HE'S GENUINELY HURT AND CRYING, going so far as to tell him to look into the camera and cry. That's why we were originally angry, before we knew the true story behind the video. That's called emotional abuse, and shit like that is what produces sociopaths and school shooters, like Debia mentioned. Someone so knowledgable on human behavior should have known that!

[TheEschaton]

That's not emotional abuse, that's a prank. Emotional abuse is if they do it at the dinner table and put food in front of him, and then yank it away.

Tricking him into thinking he got an XBox isn't emotional abuse. And if you think not getting a $500 gift, and then laughing at it, is somehow so scarring, you've got something wrong with you.

-TheE-

[diethx]

:banghead:

Damn, you're thick headed. Yeah, laughing at and mocking your crying child isn't abuse, WTF was I thinking.

I think we'll just have to both agree on the fact that you're fucking retarded.

[TheEschaton]

You've never been laughed at and mocked by your parents?

You must be from one of those fucking retarded families which doesn't believe in slapping their kids (http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/2008/01/22/17-gifted-children/) when they misbehave, so they throw tantrums in the grocery store when you say no, you can't have that sugary shit that'll rot your teeth out. And then you finally cave and let your kid have whatever the fuck they want, so they are reinforced to believing that the world is their fucking playground.

Seriously, you need to grow the fuck up and realize "abuse" is much more severe than that.

There's a difference between abusing and disciplining your child. The latter can be accomplished without committing the first. I hope you never have any children, seriously, since you obviously know shit (but you sorely, mistakenly, think you know everything) about what's proper and what isn't proper behavior of an adult/parent towards a child.

And no, laughing at and mocking your crying child is not appropriate (read: is abusive) behavior.

[Shalla]

It's cruel and insensitive; a loving parent would never put their kid through that humiliation. I'm sure the child would appreciate that prank if he was much much older, but do you guys honestly believe that someone that young would appreciate it, and not see it as a cruel act on christmas day? His mom even knew she went too far by her reaction!

[Stanley Burrell]

I'm still secretly jealous of that lil' d00d's hair.

I've passed judgment and this is the stupidest thing you've said. Just the first part tho, where you said if you don't slap your child you are retarded. If you ever think you have the right to hit your kid, then you are stupid. I don't care if they are throwing the biggest tantrum of their life. You grab them, pick them up, drag them to the car and take them home. You don't hit them. Plus if you were a good parent already and your child threw a temper tantrum they would stop when you fiercely told/threatened them to. They would most likely stop the tantrum and go down to a fierce cry then to sobs but they would listen to you.

[Sean]

We should all go smile and say hello to this kid because he's had such a shitty life and interacting with us can only improve his life.

[TheEschaton]

LoL, you white people crack me the fuck up.

I'm so emotionally distressed cause I got whipped as a kid!!!!11111!!1!!

Fucking get over it.

[The Ponzzz]

I thought there was going to be a severed cat head in there after reading some of the reactions here... He got shirts. Whether the youtube's description is right or the break.com is. He got a gift. End of story. Some people don't even get food on Christmas.

[Back]

I'm still secretly jealous of that lil' d00d's hair.

You aren’t the only one.


LoL, you white people crack me the fuck up.

hmm.

[Daniel]

It's cruel and insensitive; a loving parent would never put their kid through that humiliation.

Bullshit. My kids will have damn thick skin.

I refuse to have my kids grow up being some pussy who thinks the world owes him anything.

You can and will be cast aside and stepped on. So, suck it the fuck up.

[diethx]

Yes, that's a wonderful idea, make your kids have thick skin. Mock them when they cry, laugh at them and humiliate them and make them feel about an inch tall.

When they grow up and put a gun to your head and blow your fucking brains out, the world will be better for it.

[TheEschaton]

I'm sorry, I'm willing to bet Dylan and whatever the fuck his name was who shot up Columbine, and all them since then, were more likely to not have been beat as kids than not.

Yea. Teaching a kid how to handle adversity in an environment is a sure fire way to make him snap..as compared to providing a skewed ideal of the world where no one ever does anything bad to you and just sending them out in the world to find out differently.

There's a difference between teaching your child constructively, and humiliating and being cruel to him/her.

[Daniel]

I disagree. You can't teach perseverance without adversity.

[TheEschaton]

Teaching your child constructively, that's like sending them on timeout, and everything, right?

I grew up on the 80s, on the cusp of when it suddenly became not okay to beat your kids, and all the kids I know who weren't slapped by their parents due to new age parenting have grown up to be total douche bags.

-TheE-

[Snapp]

Regarding the original post... if the Youtube description was true, it was kinda funny to mess with him like that. If it isn't, then I think it was an inappropriate and just downright mean joke. I don't believe in being unnecessarily cruel to your kids.. life can be cruel enough.

At the same time, I don't think you should shelter them either.

I'm white, I was smacked sometimes, and I'm not emotionally distressed. I deserved it. So get over yourself.

[TheEschaton]

The whole joke was that being slapped as a kid doesn't make you, as diethx suggested, put the gun to your parent's face and oull the trigger.

The joke is also that this whole namby-pamby idea of it being "wrong" to physically punish your children came out of liberal white culture.

I never said spanking was a bad thing. I honestly don't know why you're arguing against a point I never made. I guess because you have nothing to counter the points I am making, but you still feel the impulsive need to argue about something.

BTW, there's a difference between beating a child and spanking or slapping as punishment. I have zero problems with the latter.


I'm white, I was smacked sometimes, and I'm not emotionally distressed. I deserved it. So get over yourself.

Same here, my dad smacked me around when I was young. That didn't scar me for life or anything. But there's a difference between getting spanked and what we're talking about here, which is emotional abuse/humiliation.

[Daniel]

OMG!!! SOMEONE LAUGHED AT YOU!!! YOUR GONNA WHIG THE FUCK OUT.

I bet you're that one bitch that is absolutely no fun to be around.

[diethx]

stfu dumbass, i'm the motherfucking life of the party ;)

[DCSL]

Wow, what a volatile topic. I won't pass judement on what other people do with their rugrats but... I have to say that I think my mother should have swatted me on the ass a lot more than she did. I think she spanked me once and that was when I bit her so hard I drew blood at around four years old.

The rest of the time, she relied on time out as her punishment tool. Holy crap did I love time out. I would sneak over to the timer (usually set for three to ten minutes of time out, wtf is that?!) and turn it back a bunch to extend my "punishment." It was the only time I could get my mother off my back for some solid alone time, ha. She kept on buying new timers, thinking they were broken.

Now I look back and I realize I don't want a child like me. I'm not going to take the shit my mother put up with, if I have kids.

[Whimsi]
