I would've cried for a week, probably. And then another week ten years later.
I kinda had that happen to me. It wasn't something I would've lusted after as much as an x-box, but it was still pretty disappointing.
Just because bad stuff happens to other people doesn't mean that the comparatively petty feelings of 'spoiled' or 'not-abused' people feel any better. Leave the scar-comparing to emo kids.
Okay...so to everyone whos saying that the parents aren't so bad because they aren't hurting or raping the child, you aren't seeing the big picture.
This is clearly a sign of emotional abuse; they totally crushed his hopes.
And it wasn't like they made the 'joke' and then even tried to console him after seeing his face,they just kept laughing at him.
Any parent that takes joy in seeing their child in pain would be considered the worst of the worst in my book.
^^ Yes, exactly.
In a related note. When I got a Game Cube for Christmas, my parents did the exact opposite of that. xP They bought a quilt in one of those big bags and stuffed the Game Cube in there with it. xD
WE CAN'T AFFORD A XBOX 360 WE CAN'T AFFORD A XBOX 360 SO LET'S JUST GIVE YOU THE BOX IT COMES IN. THE BOX FOR THE CORE VERSION. FUNNY FUNNY!!!!
The look on the kid's face is absolutely devastating, and I demand someone start a petition to get him an actual XBox 360.
I just want to snug that wee boy, he can play on my pc. :whimper:
Whilst all abuse sucks, when your own family does something like that to you, when they set you up, and then laugh at you and make you feel so stupid, so small and worthless, that's one of the worst things someone can feel. There can be no outcome except anger and mistrust.
They preyed on this poor kid's emotions and used that to laugh at him. I fail to see how this isn't abusive. And I see absolutely nothing funny about it.
Why must everyone take the moral high ground and say that wasnt funny. Hes just a kid, he'll get over it. And he still got some clothes! Awesome parents, awesome clip.
Because the only people who could laugh at this kind of thing are human filth, and nobody wants to be filth.
ROUND ONE: FIGHT
Hey man, you missed out "DING DING" or the bell before that. :(
Okay, apparently all of you silly folk didn't read the comments below the video. One of them says the whole video was explained on G4, that the kid was caught peeking at his presents and the parents gave him just the box on Christmas day with a couple of shirts in it to play a dirty trick on him as well. They eventually gave him the XBox 360.
I'm laughing at all of you and your wasted sympathy at the moment.
I'm ignoring your laughter. :thumb:
I'd already seen this from another forum and there wasn't any comments on it then. So yeah, whatever.
