If this were my kid ....

Looking into this further, this looks like it was staged. Check out the WoW-related video linked to in the OP's link. The kid doesn't start freaking out until the camera's in place, and the kid is playing without headphones, so he could easily have heard the little brother's "introduction" to the freak-out.

It's staged, and frankly, I'm getting sick of this bullshit -- not the OP, but the fact that people are so desperate for attention that they'll stage "outrageous" behavior in an effort to...what...land a reality show? Fuck these people.

*sigh* Why does it always take someone with a /penis/ to say something and make people believe it?

Having a penis makes you louder. Its a megaphone you can piss out of.

I'll tell you what, my father's been supporting this family alone since my mother's health took a serious downturn about 13 years ago now. He was still kind enough to let me have a Ford pickup 1996 F150 once I got my license. It's a bit rusty and it has some mechanical issues, but I'm glad to have it, because I know how much it cost him and how much he has to go through just to keep this family going. He gave it to me because he knows I need transportation, and he wants me to be able to get established. He's a good parent, and he does what he can, when he can, which is something my siblings appreciate.

in other words then, you are saying you are a normal reasonable person. Nice to see a few of us are still around.

I'd gladly take the kid's pickup truck off his hands. They're quite useful for moving stuff.

This boy is a spoilt video-game brat who will never quite understand the way that things work in the real world.

and most likely never will understand. once started on the path of "entitlement", folk tend to stay that way.

one suggestion about pick-ups. if you get one, make sure you get the bumpersticker that says "YES, THIS IS MY TRUCK. NO, I WILL NOT HELP YOU MOVE"

Bit late for me on that one, considering I just helped my sister's family move to an apartment.

I like to believe I'm a decently reasonable person, yes, and yeah we do seem to be a minority of late.

I'd take it too, and fix it up, repainted, and maybe pimp it out a bit.
