Man, dunno when it became funny to make little kids cry...there's a word for
it - bullying.  Any resposnible parent will understand how upsetting it is
when a kid is forced to cry and be upset for no reason.  My son cries very
little, and when he does it upsets me too as I know he is deeply upset about
something.  There is no need for this video, obviously made by an insecure
and small minded twat.

Wonder how the big bro would feel if someone smashed his face?

basically older brother switches over Gamecube with a broken one.
Little brother tries to use it and it doesnt work. They go outside to
take it somewhere to fix it. Older brother smashes Gamecube on the
floor. Little brother cries. Then it is revealed his actual Gamecube
is safe.

The End.

What a waste of my life.

I thought it was funny in a sad and pathetic way.  

It's funny how it is a perfect example of how screwed up things are in
the world.  Not to make this into a rant or anything like that, but
it's about time that parents started actual parenting.  

Then again, I'd almost like to see the follow-up video of the little
brother getting revenge on the older brother.  I'm sure it'll be on
the evening news as some point as a breaking story...

Something involving semi-automatic weaponry or knives? :O)

Seriously, also not to get into a rant or owt, but a few nights back
one of our channels showed a 'top 100 comedy clips' thing which
consisted almost entirely of people conning people or actually hurting
each other, like the dickheads on MTV stapling their own privates to
their legs. they seem to have forgot that humour is supposed to make
you laugh, not vomit or get so angry you want to bust the smug little
sh.ts in the teeth.

Hang on a minute, it's not the parents who are posting it to usenet and
it's not the parents who are sitting at their desks guffawing about it.

Sure, there's a chance decent parenting could have stopped it happening,
but there's absolutely no excuse for people sticking it on the net and
passing it about to their mates. That's just disgusting. As anyone whose
child has had a well-loved toy broken will tell you.

Not at all. Bizarrely, I had a knife pulled on me on Saturday night.
Some 17 year old chav chucked a snowball at me and missed. I laughed it
off and said 'yer aiming's shite mate' with a great big smile. So he
pulled a knife[0].

Round the metro system there have been any number of incidents where
blokes, and a few women, have beaten half to death by gangs of the
little sh.ts, usually for doing no more than looking at them or
passing them on the way to station. There's something rotten in this

My own take on it - we're witnessing the harvest from the crop sown by
Thatcher in the late seventies/early eighties. Basically, many of the 17
year old neds/chavs these days are the third generation of the 'single
parent' boom. Kids learn from their environment, and when their
environment consists of scrounging off the state and getting pregnant in
order to get a house, that's what they do.

I think it does. If you're a single parent trying to keep young lads in
line, what do you do? In all probability, you whack them[0]. Which
teaches them pretty directly that they can get their own way through
violence.

Christ, all my mum had to say to me was 'I'll tell your dad when he gets
in' and that was me sorted out.

Firstly, eek. That's a pretty severe charge right there. Do you have some
kind of basis or source for that? None of the single parents I know hit
their kids to keep them in line.

Secondly, I got "whacked" (although perhaps not in the same way you mean)
and I don't now use violence to get my own way. Almost sounds like that
claim that some videogames make all kids that play them violent...

I was referring to the first generation, who were 16 years old (if they
were lucky) at the time, and this happened in the late 70s/early 80s.
The basis or source is my owns eyes witnessing it at the time.

its down to the parenting, no other excuses available. go out in

and whacking them all the time, is it any wonder they grow up to be

Aye, but bear in mind that those parents (possibly) had the same upbringing
and, because being a single parent was (at the time) socially less
acceptable than it was now, there was very little 'parenting
instruction' given by the grandparents. So, yes, it's the result of bad
parenting, *but* there's a historical reason for the bad parenting.

If you see what I mean.

Having said that, my wife and I had very little help from our parents
and our kids are 'normal'. Then again, we waited until our late 20s to
have them, so that may be a contributing factor.

That and the fact that we're not walking excrement scrounging off the
state.

In general, people tend to adopt the same parenting style they witnessed
when they were growing up.

Whats 'normal'?!!

You had the good fortune and intelligence to decide on a parenting style -
many people just go on instinct - which in many cases mimics their own
parents style.

It's no excuse, but it must be harder to cope if you are on the breadline.

I agree that it's got a lot to do with bad parenting, I just don't think
being a single parent (now or back in the 70s/80s) has at all.

You're missing my point completely. I'm not saying that 'single parents
are bad'. What I'm saying is that the PARENTS of a single parent back
then would not be hugely inclined to provide support. Being a single
parent doesn't make a person unable to bring up a child well but it MAY
make it more difficult to LEARN how to bring up a child.

No one is blaming single parents. All I'm saying is that I believe that
the reason why many parents nowadays don't have the required skills are
because the chain was broken TEMPORARILY about twenty years ago.

I understand what you're saying, but I think this "broken chain" and the
"lack of parental ability" is a correlation at best and not causal, based on
the fact that there were single parents in the 70s/80s/90s/00s that DID
bring up their kids perfectly well.

Of course there were. But it's evolution. Four kids in a single parent
environment - each obviously with a different mum.

One has a bad time. Three have a great time. One gets
pregnant at 14 and has six kids by the time she's twenty two. The other
three are at university. By the time the other three are thinking about
having kids, each of the six second generation kids are working on their
14 year old pregnancy, in another six years six becomes thirty six.
Meanwhile, the original other three probably don't have six between
them. Hence, the chavs outnumber the nice people.
QED.

I was actually pretty nasty as a youth but I was absolutely pummelled
as a child, both in school and at home. I may have been a git but I
can't claim I didn't know the difference between right and wrong and
all the crap they come out with now. Latest idea is that if a group of
young people are arrested they will be able to claim peer pressure as
a defence.

seriously mate, it doesn't matter on this estate whether they have one
parent or four. There are five year old children allowed to play on
the street at 10 and eleven o'clock at night. The simple fact is, they
don't care. It was always a bit loose, even in the 60s when I was
small, but when children lost their ability to think about
consequences (or didn't have any consequences to actually face) they
stopped caring who or what they do.

Badass Scotsman - 07 Mar 2006 19:19 GMT
Wow, this topic is going on and on and on :)

Anyway, I have some fairly relevant life experience with regards to all
this...

Brought up in the slums, step dad beat me ruthlessly for ten years, mother
in hospital with nervious breakdown when I was 10, bullied at all my schools
(went to at least 8 primary and 3 secondarys), and I was in care age 11 - 18
(3 foster homes, two residential young peoples units and a homeless hostel).

I had the "sh.t" upbringing, I was a chav, a schemie, a wee w.nker etc etc.
Got my girlfriend pregnant when she was 17, I ran a mile when she turned 19
and eventually at the age of 20 I settled down with my current Girlfriend,
soon to be wife (im 26 now btw).

When my son was born, my life changed overnight - the arguments with his mum
had gotten out of control and history was at risk of repeating itself (I
have NEVER seen my dad, and I was brought up in a warzone - stepdad beating
my mum etc)...

So, I stayed a year with my son, and at that point it was clear that either
his mum or I would end up dead due to the fighting  (all one sided by the
way - she was a WACKO)...

I left and moved back in with my mum.  I met my girlfriend, got a flat with
her and started to see my son every weekend for overnights.  Meeting my
girlfriend (rich parents and private school!!!) really helped me see the
"other side" of life.  I learned that it was actually fun to respect others,
and everyone could do "better"...I started to think about things in a
different light, I was happy for once and I was enjoying life...

Anyway 5 years later, my business now turns over well in excess of £2M every
year, I have a very very nice house and I only need to do about 3 hours work
a day.  Me and my girl are getting married next year and things are looking
up.

I should have ended up a junkie or homeless begger, but I was able to turn
things around.  Not everyone with a bad background ends up a waster.

Badass.

Agreed that this is an example of all that is ill in society today.

On the flip side, what is the *funniest* joke you've ever heard? And what
was funny about it?

You're going to say that humour is cruel, but most jokes are fiction,
purely, and this is real life cruelty.

One cartoon that sticks in my mind and has for years was of a little
kid painting a picture of his mum at school, mum has a huge head, eyes
of different sizes, a funny nose, huge wobbly mouth and hair that
looks like wire, then you see outside school and beside all the normal
mums there's his real mum looking exactly the same as his painting.
(of course it helps if you see it)

Yes, I am - humour, I once was taught, is an "interrupted defence
mechanism". We laugh most at things that are unfortunate to others. As you
quite rightly point out though, this was real life and the turd that did it
(and filmed it) wants shooting. It's one thing to tell jokes, it's quite
another to go acting them out.

It's quite sad that people find this particular video funny. Yes, it's
almost like a cartoon, yes it's a "joke", but someone was actually
devastated by it even though for a short space of time.

Those of us that are reasonably well adjusted find it distasteful, and those
that do not... Well, we know what sort of people they are.

I think folks assume once the joke is revealed everything is okay. Of
course it isn't. I've seen a few foreign hidden camera shows where
they set up awful things and expect the person to laugh when told it's
a set-up. I've seen a passenger in a cab watch as a guy gets into the
passenger seat at the front and proceed to 'stab' the driver (give the
passenger his due, he really laid into the 'knifeman') and another
where a guy took his girlfriend out into the woods where a hideous
creature jumps out and attacks the car, drags out her boyfriend (in on
the gag) and 'kills' him then comes for her. This woman was in
absolute terror, she obviously thought she was going to die.

ive seen that show, its on some US network, scare tactics or some
bollocks.

its just not funny.

stuff like jackass i can find funny occasionally, mainly because its
just stupid and it doesnt set out to hurt anyone (except themselves
obviously).

not that keen on dirty sanchez though, theyre just about hurting
themselves for shock value, whereas at least jackass played it for
laughs.

I can't answer for the funniest ever since there's been so many, but
one that gave me a laugh recently was:

An elderly couple had been married for years, and one day the husband
took a turn for the worst.  Shortly after he died, the wife wanted to
kill herself so she could be with her husband again.  She decided she
was going to shoot herself in the heart since it was broken already,
but she wasn't sure exactly where it was located.  She contacted the
local hospital and asked them "Where is my heart located?"  The
hospital advised her that "it is located about 2 inches below your
left breast."

Later that day the woman was admitted to the hospital with a gunshot
wound to her leg...  :)

Wow, you all really are a bunch of tightwads if this really offends you.
It's a practical joke between wiley brothers whom, by the looks of the
beginning of the video, have a pretty healthy and normal brotherly
relationship between them- chatting, playing games, etc -- when HASN'T a
normal relationship between two brothers growing up involved some
practical jokes here and there? The kid saw that his real Gamecube was
safe and sound and he immediately stopped crying.

I myself didn't find it particularly funny but it was harmless to say
the least. I was the youngest of my siblings growing up and we always
did this kind of stuff to each other.

Maybe you all should CC this over to alt.mormon.soccermoms so the
corpses over there would understand your perspective- people who
actually have a sense of youthful humor here in the gaming newsgroups
won't go up in arms about it.

LMFAO, speaking of inane immaturity in this guy's quickness to judge an
individual based by a few pictures. To answer your question- No, not at
all, I have no reason to 'shoot up' my school as I currently pull a 4.0

a variety of colleges of my choice, but a silly USEnet troll who doesn't

so you have a go at others for expressing their distaste in that video
(which personally i didnt really have a problem with, other than it
was just about the most boring and least funny practical joke in the
history of crap practical jokes) and then have a pop at me for doing
exactly what you have just done, and make a quickfire assumption based
upon one post?

I didn't make any 'quickfire' assumptions about anyone in my original
post, nor was I even directing it solely at you. I just pointed out that
you guys have to have a pretty prude view on life if you think this
harmless practical joke between brothers (no matter how unfunny and lame
it might be, like I pointed out in my OP) is the bane of existance, the
seed of all evil in today's society. Jesus, lighten up.

> next time you wish to lambast others for not having a sense of humour,

ROFL. I'll 'lambast' others when they feel the need to try to attack me
by using information in my site that I have freely displayed for all to
view and see. You must be a thick one if you think you can strike one of
my nerves by 'digging up' some pictures of me and lace it with a cliche,
tired and unfunny generalization on American teenage culture.

no, you assumed they have no sense of humour because they don't share
yours.

are they not entitled to voice their disapproval of that video if they
find it distasteful and in bad humour?

i don't need to lighten up, i just think you need to realise that
there are some things that an 18 year old merkin emokid on usenet
doesn't know about.

I don't think anyone said this particular video is THE worst thing
they have ever seen, just another incident of the cruelty which passes
for 'humour' now.

The cruelty in humour of the past was all mocked up, make believe,
like clowns hitting each other with rubber mallets. Now they think
