.... so I swear this isn't a blog plug but I just posted a video I was sent. At first glance it's shockingly funny but then I get to thinking about just a general disturbing aspect of our culture.

 

CSI NY did an episode on "Internet Fame." Is stuff like this being exciting and funny to people something we should be striving for or is it just getting a little out of hand and too risky with people getting seriously hurt for a 34 second laugh on the net.

Out of hand--I hope the toddler wasn't seriously hurt.

"At first glance it's shockingly funny"

 

I knew what it was before I visited your site, because I saw it on DListed. It's "funny" because it's unexpected and almost like cartoon violence. And I didn't laugh but I'm not condemning those who go "Whoa!" and crack a smile. Imagine of a video of a car backing out of a driveway and a kid wanders in and gets hit and thrown. That's not "shockingly funny". A breakdancer doing the same as the car is, because it's not the norm.

 

" but then I get to thinking about just a general disturbing aspect of our culture. "

 

Our culture? I'd venture any Japanese or Indian or Eskimo would have the same response. Now if you want a culture argument locate the YouTube video of the baby from India put into a battle with a living cobra to "desensitize" the baby. And it's all over the web, too. (Saw that on DListed, too.) And yes, the cobra had it's fangs removed ahead of time.

I didn't find it funny but more bad parenting.

You ever try to control a toddler? They're slippery little fuckers and if you grab em by the wrist as that run away children's services are all over you.

 

But yeah, parents really should have kept the kid on a tighter leash ... literally or figuratively.

Thats why I miss the days of when a kid fucks up they get the hand across the bum. Nothing wrong with a lil swat on the bum when the lil one gets out of line. It imo builds character and discipline.

Uhm, you DID watch the video, huh?

This kid has got to have more character than Mother Theresa did and more discipline than Gandhi now.
