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!!

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
