Kid Goes Crazy After Receiving Xbox 360 for Xmas


Recommended Posts

I lol'd. Not at the kids misfortune, but at what Christmas has become. The saddest thing is, there are kids in the world who would get as excited about getting those clothes as the kid in the first video who did get the 360. I think its disgusting we've turned Christmas into such an event where its sooo heartbreaking to get given some clothes instead of an Xbox...

TV and other forms of media indoctrinates the young into pre-conditioning of material items. When I look back at what I use to be happy for and what I wasn't, I saw myself as a fool.

It's one thing to give a kid clothes over an XBox and another thing entirely to mock them by giving them an empty XBox box with clothes in it. They could have likely given him any number of things that he would have loved but to throw an empty box with the intention of stirring him is in many ways rather sick on the parents behalf.

Now I believe later on he got the console itself but still, teasing a child like that, likely with the intention of putting it online given they had the camcorder rolling is not right in my books.

Besides, people can say "back in my day I was happy with a shirt or a book" all they like but if you step back you will see its those same people who were happy with so little 20+ years ago that have more or less turned Christmas into the commercial holiday many perceive it to be today. It's not like its the children advertising the products or selling these items to one another, its the adults from yesteryear's.

I would go crazy too if I were his age and exposed to the current-gen technology. Too bad, my parents would never gift me anything remotely like this and I've never ever seen a game console in person.

such kids just should not get any consoles, they seem to be kind of...hyperactive hehe.

simple banning isn't gonna solve any problems.....as history proved this again and again..hehe

Just to make things clear his folks eventually got him one later in the day.

even so, the damage is done.

These videos along with the Hitler videos are so ****ing annoying. They weren't that funny to begin with never mind being parodied every holiday.

Psychologically speaking from your point of you

When you see so much attention being put on these videos, you deter from the crowd because it seems idiotic to laugh at it. However if you saw those videos without knowing that the majority of people on the net or in public watched these videos and just jabber about it being hilarious you yourself would find these hilarious. This happens to me all the time, when people get into something I use to like I end up not paying attention to it anymore.

That or people are just making the same joke over and over. I don't think its a case of being an individual...more like listening to the same song on repeat one too many times. Eventually the joke gets old.

Exactamondo :yes:

I laughed at the N64 video first time and less and less each time. Never really found any of the parodies funny at all.

First kid I ever saw humping his 360 :laugh:

I remember being pumped up with joy when my parrents bought me my N64 w/ Star Fox.

Games these days don't carry that excitement I use to have.

Never have carried that much excitement, you mean?!! :whistle:

Somebody slap that irritating kid!!

    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
    • Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
