OMG that was hilarious and sad all at the same time. I noticed one of the comments asked what happened when his brother found out he put the video on Youtube. I am wondering myself. . . . . .

If this video isn't staged, it's a good reason not to let the kiddies play MMOs (take the remotes away too!)

totally fake set up, but funny - in a morbid, psycho type of way. that kid should have played a character in LOTR.

Ghosty and I saw that about a week or so ago. We both thought it was staged, however, if it wasn't I have to give the kid credit for one thing:

At least, he had enough sense to go up to his room to throw that hissy fit in private and not inflict it on the whole family :p

Yeah, look what D&D did to people. It turned them into intelligent people with open minds who aren't afraid to actually use their brains.


As far as I could tell, it turned them into people who bring costumes rather than dates to movie theaters, and who spend months teaching themselves how to speak languages that never existed...

I'm living Proof! :D


Seriously, I had a Cousin who's step-son was ditching school to stay home & play WoW. So, how'd my older cousin handle it?

Simple- Took the computer outside, smashed it to bits. Told the kid to get his ass back to school or he's getting kicked out. Oh, and add to that "get a hair cut". Heh! Our family has a thing against anyone with hair longer than a crew cut (which makes me the black sheep of the family).

When I see videos of these kids freaking out over a video game I wonder if there's something MORE to why they're that attached to it. I see the game as a symptom of something more going on with the kid.

You're thinking of LARP'ers.

Its one thing to sit around the table,drinking beer & playing D&D. Its a whole 'nother thing to go out in public & act it out.

LARP just screams "Beat Me Up For My Lunch Money". :p

YET..... How does this compare to people who use SL??

Yeah, at least with a LARP, you get out of the basement to meet other people once in a while, not to mention get some EXERCISE.

Most of the folks I saw at our LARP were the kind that beat up kids for their lunch money. >.>

Now that you mention it, he did look mildly priapic from that point on. Hmmm....

I think... fake

seriously... why would anyone try to shove a remote up their bum when pissed because something got taken away?

so totally set up (and why did he not see the camera?)

AND it is still on youtube, by now if it were real, I am sure the kid would not want it on youtube... but... then again. one never knows

either way, real or fake, it is just plain stupid

(oh and notice how he shut up when someone yelled to shut up?)
probably the parent who supposedly turned off his wow account LOL

I'm going to say that if it's fake, it still represents way to many REAL kids just like him (i've known two that demented)

From: Brenda Connolly
I'd send the kid off to the Marines, then divorce the husband for spawning the little shit

right, send him off to the marines, because they need more tightly wound psychopaths with poor impulse control =X (hey for a fun idea of what might happen when you do, rent full metal jacket and guess which part your kid is gonna play... could be a fun drinking game =)

I vote fake, too. For one thing, the perfect timing. Just happens to run into the room and freak out, seconds after his brother sets up the camera? Then out again? And hasn't complained about being in his undies on youtube? Lol

I can't figure out why he kept running into the closet or ducking under the comforter. To keep from laughing on camera?

I see a boy who generally hates his life and has had the only thing that he derives pleasure from removed against his will. It will take a lot of understanding at this point for this kid to become a healthy, happy adult. Doesn't look like he has much chance of that happening.

I see a spoiled little shit who has been indulged far too long, and probably should have been given a bat and a ball and been kicked outside to play a long time ago. Watching the first part is even more entertaining. If it is real, the brother is one evil little bastard for setting him up.

This has not produced a happy, stable society either. I suggest it is time for a different approach based on communication, understanding & reason. Also, I doubt he's been indulged, more likely ignored.

When my kid wanted to do nothing but play video games I let him. He got bored of it after a time and concluded that he didn't actually want to play so much after all.

The most important thing we can teach our kids is to think for themselves. There is a severe lack of that in this world.
