If this were my kid ....

[Wilgrove]

I would have gotten him a psychiatrist. And a bus schedule as some have suggested.

How do you know he just wouldn't steal the other cars?

If he steals my car, I'd call the cops and let his ass rot in jail for a few nights.

I second that.

[Grays Harbor]

I think I have to go with the "spoiled brat" thing. I can't wait for this nimrod to get out on his own with his "I am entitled" attitude, and see how far it gets him. It could be amusing.

[Maurepas]

Shit, Id be happy with that Truck now,

I didnt get my own car until my Mom's old car broke down and she had to get herself a new one, I was able to get the old one running, and still have it running 4 years later, its a '96 Hyudai Accent, without the doors working (I have to reach inside the door and get the latch to get out) and the Tranny's gears stick...

[Cameroi]

my dad bought HIS first car the year i graduated highschool. before that we were able to go everywhere on his pass on the train.

[Pure Metal]

seen the vid before. there's nothing wrong with parents being generous and getting their kids expensive stuff if they can afford it. but the kid should be really fucking greatful and not a spoilt cunt like the kid in the video

Psh, you and your fancy-pants passenger trains, ...Down here we have to drive on the Interstate uphill, both ways, through the Storm Surge,

[Pure Metal]

Only watched a second or two of the video, but I noticed the cars the family had in the driveway--a nice-looking truck and Hummer. Looked like they expected his reaction, too.

that truck in the driveway was fucking massive (pretty hideously massive imo)

Agreed, I was like Goddamn, they have a Hummer, and what looked like a Camaro in the Garage, how many cars do these people have?

[No Names Left Damn It]

They made him look like a poor kid, did they? What kind of poor kid gets a decent truck for their 16th birthday?

[Ryadn]

To be fair, that car was a piece of shit. Who gets their kid a redneck truck when he obviously won't appreciate it? I think what we have here is an improv family with a YouTube account.

Which is actually quite a bit sadder.

[No Names Left Damn It]

Actually, I'm having second thoughts. This can't have been real.

[Eofaerwic]

Fake, but I can believe there are kids out there who are like this, the ungrateful brats and all *shakes fist like the old person she is*

I'm just getting my first car at 25, it's about 11 years old and will probably last me a year at most (but is only costing me about £500) and frankly that's fine by me. If I'd learnt to drive at 17/18 then I might have inherited my mum's old car when she was looking to replace it, but otherwise the best I could hope for with my parents would have been to borrow their car when I was home. No way would I be getting a car of my own for uni - I just wouldn't need it.

[Ryadn]

I got a car when I was 17--a used (but nice) Mustang GT hardtop that was 5 years old and had about 70,000 miles on it. It was expensive--nearly what a new low-end car would cost--and my parents bought it for me.

My parents could afford it, I was an excellent (and only) child, and I am eternally grateful. It is very possible to give your children nice things--expensive things--without spoiling them.

[JuNii]

ok... a nice hummer, a nice truck, a nice sports car in the garage...

Guitar Hero/Rock Star in the house...

yeah... the kid is spoiled..

Have you seen the other video of his World of Warcraft freakout? Threw a tantrum because his mom cancelled his account.

Definitely a case of given WAY too much.

"Yell at him, not at me..."

Edit: the link in the OP article is not the WoW cancelled account... this is it.

He's a jail sentence waiting to happen. Because I'd beat him with the fucking bat.

[Rejistania]

I have to admit that I also once lost my temper about christmas presents (the entire family bought me so many feminine things that for me, it appeared that they all wanted to tell me off for being a tomboy), I also don't have Flash. But even so, I think from the description that this person acted grossly inappropriately (if this is no fake).


OTOH: which parents selects such a huge gift without checking his child's wishes?

[Snafturi]

That kid is mentally ill. If it were my kid I'd take him in for a psych eval.

Being spoiled is no mental illness.

The same kid's reaction to having his WoW subscription cancelled: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YersIyzs ... annel_page

[The_pantless_hero]

Who here (other than Ruffy) got a car/truck for his/her sixteenth birthday? Who here cared what it looked like as long as it ran?

I got my first car when I was 30, and not from my parents - who could barely afford to keep us fed and sheltered. My kids both bought their first cars after they were on their own.

I would dump on the kid but the kid walks past AT LEAST $50k in vehicles on camera. They obviously picked up some horrible looking, probably non-working piece of shit on purpose. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if this was staged for YouTube or something.

lol

funny enough that i read it out loud to my son who also laughed.

[Lunatic Goofballs]

Okay, watched the whole video. Totally staged. If it wasn't, his dad would have grabbed him when he was close and had the bat at his side. And if it wasn't and the kid wanted to do some damage, he would have started with the windows--easiest and most satisfying parts to smash.

I don't think it was staged, the kid was an idiot, and I think when he approached the truck he wasn't sure he was gonna hit it.

I agree with Ryadn. Staged.

There is no way this wasn't staged. Their two cars combined are worth more than my house. There is no way they couldn't have gone and picked up a decent vehicle. They obviously all colluded to go pick up a piece of shit at a junk yard so they could beat it up on camera and put it on youtube.
