Kid Goes Crazy After Receiving Xbox 360 for Xmas

[Motoko.]

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.

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!!
