this shit is pretty funny, but also fuckin cruel. too bad he's too young to know if it's too good to be true, it's too good to be true.

i think engadget is sending him an xbox, under the condition that his family is not allowed to use it or handle it in any way what so ever

2/29/2008 10:31:41 PM

It's gotta be old. EBaums just got it.

Having said that, I have not seen it.

2/29/2008 10:31:45 PM

That was pretty fucking mean.

2/29/2008 10:34:07 PM

srsly...that kid was fuckin crushed, and his whole family sits there laughing at him.

"cry into the camera"

that's the kind of parenting that gets you shot in your sleep

2/29/2008 10:36:22 PM

The ad on the side creeped me out a bit.



I don't want to rub one out to a dead chick.

2/29/2008 10:47:37 PM

He'll just cop their kidneys in their sleep and get himself an xbox 360 and his own posse to protect it.

2/29/2008 10:47:57 PM

srsly weird looking kid.

2/29/2008 10:54:13 PM

They can't afford an xbox but they bought the camera to pwn the kid with.

Poor kid.

2/29/2008 10:54:49 PM

2/29/2008 11:05:12 PM

the brother or whatever thats recording that keeps saying "johnson, we can't afford an xbox" is sooo annoying

2/29/2008 11:28:25 PM

i knew this guy in hs who really wanted an xbox... so for his birthday everyone pitched in like $15 and bought him an xbox, then took the xbox out of the box and did the same thing to this kid.

except then we actually gave him the xbox.

2/29/2008 11:46:15 PM

That's horrible, but I guess that's one way to instill in your kid that life's one big disappointment after another.

2/29/2008 11:47:11 PM

^Haha. *tear*

2/29/2008 11:47:12 PM

fucked up.

3/2/2008 6:23:53 PM

Dang, thats terrible. poor kid.

3/2/2008 7:01:56 PM

oh man, poor kid

3/2/2008 7:06:57 PM

I'll never have kids. One day they could kill you and your family just for disallowing a certain boyfriend to be hers!

Whoa...fucking cruel...about as cruel as his hair. I think they don't like him b/c he resembles the blonde-haired blue-eyed devil they despise.

3/2/2008 9:29:01 PM

[old]

If I was that kid I would get my sweet revenge, no matter how long it took. I hope those parents don't expect a nursing home that feeds them when they get old.

3/2/2008 9:39:57 PM

Man and I thought my parents did fucked up stuff to me as a kid.

My parents did that to me one year with a basketball goal...they took it out of the box and stuffed some meaningless cheap shit in there and wrapped it up. They put it together in the backyard so when I went outside I found it.

That video, however, is fucked up. Maybe the parents planned it with the video and all to get free shit for their "poor" family. Notice the guy in the background constantly screaming "Jonathan, we can't afford an Xbox."
1) Put video on internet
2) Millions of people view it and feel sorry for said kid
3) People give to family/kid
4) Profit

^genius

3/2/2008 9:55:15 PM

i think there's just a higher probability that those people are assholes and unfit parents

3/2/2008 9:59:32 PM

lol, oh well kid

nobody that age deserves a $300 game system. Ball and hoop FTW

When the xbox came out...I wasn't already in college. I'm old.
