Greetings lost traveller! I'm not quite sure how you managed to stumble on the Church Of Blessed Indecision, but since you're here, you may as well pull up a chair and check out my inane ramblings on life, videogames, music and anything else that occupies my mind for a few fleeting seconds before 'the voices' start talking to me again...

Oh no what a bitch!
Oh no she mother-fucking didn't....
Now in seventeen years of teaching and child care, I've witnessed some seriously fucked up parenting. Whilst I agree that children need to be taught some life lessons about family income and that the expectations of consumer excess are skewed at this festive season, this is just cruel.
Sure little Johnson might need new winter clothes, and he might have failed to hear his mom telling him that she couldn't afford a 360 on the ten thousand ocasions he asked... BUT!!!
Hearing the raucous hilarity of his family as they witness his Christmas dreams dying, videoing the event, asking him to "cry to the camera" and then posting his misery on Youtube for the world to see... Word's fail me. Damn!
Hopefully young Johnson will grow up and devise a "cunning plan" to make his dear mother think she has won the lottery, and wait for her to phone up her siblings, cousins and bosses, telling them that she hates and disowns them all, before revealing to her that it was just a 'hilarious prank' like the one she played on him all those Christmases ago...
From what I've heard, they did it to teach him a lesson because apparently the kid peaked and found out earlier that he was getting a 360 and so that's why his family did this to him.
BUT STILL, trying to teach him a lesson in THIS fashion is just bang out of order!!! As you said, all the adults laughing at him while he's obviously about to break down and cry and then put it on youtube is just wrong.
WOW that is hurtful, something similar happened to me when I was a kid, I wanted The Battle Robots and when I saw a box fitting the same dimensions and weight I figured they got me those battle robots, comes Xmas and it was a fruit steamer for my mom. Seriously this is not fun.
That's just mean. Like OK fair enough, the beginning was a little bit funny. But to carry on filming. When his crying? That's just out of order. I could swear that you could see the thoughts going though his head. The public better keep an eye on this boy, as I can see him going postal in the future. BTW I never knew that you where in the teaching profession Father K. It's something that I was looking at going into. Any tips on how to go about it?
I also read in the comment section on Youtube, that they really had got him one, but I've never seen the follow up, where they dry his eyes and present him with the real thing.
I don't think it's the lesson I object to that much, more the primary humiliation of having your extended family take such great delight in your humiliation, the way the mother labours the point as if she's doing it more for the audience than the kid (and actually seems to end up like she's trying to justify her role in the whole affair...)OR the fact that they thought it was so great it needed to be on Youtube for the world to see...
Mind you, kids'll fool yer! Although he's a very beautiful and angelic looking kid, he could in real, life be the sought of little twat that you would actually take pleasure in his come-uppance. He could have been a right little git all year...
(Cover your ears Koobs...) *whispers* I'll share some examples of teacher-hate from myself and my colleagues very soon! The art is only discussing it with your colleagues down the pub on a Friday night, the kids must think you love them unconditionally... Hence the retort when a kid says "You hate me doncha??!!"
"No Nigel, I hold you in the highest regard, I just don't like what you did..." (when you spat in the new little girl with the hearing aid's dinner... you little shit)
But I digress... Koobs! I actually love my career! 99% of the children I have known have been a pleasure to work with! If you're really interested, drop me an email and I'll fill you in at length!
Even if they gave him the console in the end, that was just fucked up. When I was a kid Christmas was the single most important day of the calendar, even more than my birthday, and if something like this had happened to me, it would simply scar me forever. And I think that's what's going to happen to the kid.
I'm not saying he's going to be a psycho when he grows up, but the memories of that day will definitely haunt him on occasion.
...Like when all those school bullies that constantly show it on their futuristic desktop interfaces when the cyber-teacher isn't looking in six or seven year's time in Robo High School...

Well, it is mean, and funny, and a life lesson, and quite cruel, and -frankly- I'm not sure what to think of the whole affair.
I also read in the comment section on Youtube, that they really had got him one, but I've never seen the follow up, where they dry his eyes and present him with the real thing.
