m00n Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 OMG!!! That is the funnyiest thing I've seen in a LOOOOOONG time. My mother sent that very same thing to me a few days ago... In fact, I shared it here.[6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted February 16, 2006 Moderators Share Posted February 16, 2006 I didn't think that was funny AT ALL!!!!! Maybe it's the "new mommy" in me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I agree with Amy. Hearing his cries and sobs tears me up. All I want to do is comfort him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 You should have seen me the first time one of those horrid things popped up on my screen. It was like 3 am, house was completely silent, and I was in one of my 'extreme' frames of mind. Thought I was gonna have a friggin HEART ATTACK! I'll never forgive Indy for that one.

I thought you little boy was like 3 years old? M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flannj Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 NOT COOL It is one thing to send that file to an adult that you can joke with. But to purposely set up a young kid (and then videotape it), thats just cruel. What did the parent think his reaction would be? Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted February 16, 2006 Moderators Share Posted February 16, 2006 Don't rush it, Michael! He's only 17 months now. And yes, purposefully setting the kid up is cruel! And what's more cruel is to not put the camera down and comfort him when he's so obviously upset!!! I would hope mom was not too happy about that. I'll have to admit, the initial reaction of the kid was funny, but the sobbing afterward was a little much. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Blacksmith Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I think the "setup" of a kid is a terrible thing to do. They trust us to keep them safe. The person filming this knew what was going to happen and the kid trusted them. NOT COOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleve Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Checkout this kid's reaction, its absolutely hilarious! http://www.youtube.com/p.swf?video_id=kKGxaol4qws&eurl=&iurl=http%3A//static13.youtube.com/get_still.php%3Fvideo_id%3DkKGxaol4qws I'll bet m00n sent it to him! The bastid! Has he no sense of decency? [8-|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Happens in my job all the time, there's a time to take photos and a time to NOT take photos. This was a time to drop the camera and take care of the kid. You can't even see the guy reaching out his other arm to presumably his son. This guy is a total a-hole. Sorry Amy, I had the timing off a bit. Don't let em grow em too quick. Enjoy every minute. EDIT, of course, if it's an older brother doing this evil deed, then that's acceptable practice[6] M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Oh CMon you guys. I'm a father of 2 great kids and I can tell you, children are a rezeeliant. You guys must not have been teased as children or something.[] It helps build character. My vote stands... Funny as hell. I know I spelt rezeelient wrong, I could'nt even get it close enough for a spell checker to figure it out, so I spelt it out out how it sounds.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 HA HA HA good one LOL [] To all those who find this unamusing,a thing called sense of good humor exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I'm w/Moon. Sporadic, minor cruelty is all good fun. This kid will have some of the funniest stories to tell when he's older - all because of his parent's little jokes. He'll get over it and have some good memories of it.

kaiser SET say Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Even if I were not a father of a 3 and 5 year old this is just wrong, his parents should get a note from the IRS telling them about their 3.2 million in back taxes so I can watch them cry with joy on my face as they did that child[:@] We wonder how children grow up having no one to trust[8o|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rplace Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 <Rant> What a bunch of sissies we have all collectively become. The poor little kid got scared, boo hoo. Come on. You could hear his older brother laughing in the background. That is exactly what older siblings do to younger siblings. I know I am the youngest in my family. My sisters tortured me and I was tougher/better for it. Time out instead of a well deserved A$$ whooping. Being a kids friend instead of a parent. Not keeping score at little league games. Every kid gets praised just for participating. No wonder we graduate kids who don't have any competitive skills or a drive to succeed. High school graduates can't add and subtract let alone do algebra. When kids like him are in their 30s and 40 we will all be in a world of trouble and we will have you coddling types to thank. I am ashamed of my peer group. You are all way too soft. </Rant> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 You tell 'em, Rich! My sentiments exactly. Competition is what made America great. I think the "praise" and "understanding" movement has gone way too far. Kid does drugs. Kick his a$$! Makes a C in school? Could do better. Doesn't win the B-Ball game? Could have been a winner. Makes something of himself. Great kid!. Got an A? Keep up the hard work. Won the B-ball game? Way to go! These things are best kept separate, so there's no confusion on what brings rewards vs. punishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
