I was with some friends in Dunkin Doughnuts and the whole family came walking in and I immediately recognized the kid. No one else who was with me had seen the video so I pulled it up on my phone so I could make sure it was really him and I wasn't imagining it. Someone finally gathered the courage to walk up to the dad and ask if that was him, and sure enough it was.

The dad said he does youtube videos as a regular thing and has over 200 made. He then gave us his business card. We took pictures (I'll put more up as I get them, the one in the OP is the only one from my camera) and got the kid's autograph lol.

The kid's name is Locke, his brother is Link and the sister is Lilly if I remember right.

That kid's gonna get all the bitches at State.

9/2/2009 12:30:59 PM

I do not find it weird.
I do find the fact that you find it weird to be weird though.
Makes me wonder what is going on in your head.

9/2/2009 12:44:56 PM

I think it's lame enough walking up to a random celebrity and asking for an autograph/picture

but doing it to a local internet celebrity?

who happens to be a toddler???

9/2/2009 12:47:13 PM

I told the kid when he eventually goes to NC State he should run for Student Body President on the platform of "I hate tar heels!"

I work with children for a living. Nothing makes a child feel better about themselves than when others make him feel important.

I also had his brother and sister sign their names so they would feel important too.

It wasn't about getting an autograph with an internet personality, it was about letting three kids know they have made my day better by being who they are.

9/2/2009 1:11:54 PM

now thats really gay

9/2/2009 1:14:36 PM

yeah making people feel good about themselves is totally stupid and insane. why would you do such a horrible thing?!?!?!?!

I was gonna say lame, not weird

9/2/2009 1:17:52 PM

nu uh. you're the fag

9/2/2009 1:19:22 PM

noooooooooooooo. not me. nu uh this guy is straight.

no homo here mkay

9/2/2009 1:22:57 PM

it's not weird that you said "hi" and mentioned that you enjoyed the video.

what's weird about this is you posting pictures you took of some stranger's kids on the internet, and then name-dropping a family of toddlers and children

the fact that it's The Wolf Web.... well, that makes it a little bit worse.

i understand that you were highly amused by the video, but this is sort of stalkerish.

In fairness, the video of the kid was in the youtube channel for his dad's comedy duo. It was meant to be public, and neither the kid nor his parents would find this creepy or stalkerish....quite the opposite - they'll be glad it got views.

If it were just some video posted by parents who needed an online place to store the video, and it was only intended for family/friends, then yes, that would be a bit worse. But it's not.

I asked the dad if he was ok with the picture being put online. He said go right ahead.

ADD TO MY TOPICS

We are trying to get Maya to say wolfpack. Her favorite blanket to sleep with is an NC State blanket with silk edges. When we point to the emblem on the blanket and say "WOLFPACK!" she at least shakes her head yes in acknowledgment.

9/2/2009 3:37:57 PM

come on people. dont force your own school down your kids' throats. give em some fucking freedom to choose

9/2/2009 3:55:02 PM

i dont care that the dad started this all with a public YouTube video, and i don't care that he said "go ahead" to posting these photos.

that's just fucking weird no matter how you slice it.

you're a grown man, for gods' sake.

9/2/2009 5:31:41 PM

^I don't think it's weird.

Why not? There's nothing wrong with getting your kid to root for your school's sports teams. Trying to influence their decision on where they want to go to school when the time comes is another matter.

9/2/2009 5:37:58 PM

^ This.

9/2/2009 5:57:12 PM

so whats up with the kids names?

im assuming from the boys name of link, that there are Links kids. correct? Locke, Link, Lilly? WTF

9/2/2009 10:09:04 PM

^^^I cheer for the Mets, Giants, and Rangers because my dad taught me to. I wouldn't have it any other way.

9/3/2009 12:10:33 AM

you don't pull for 3 baseball teams

9/3/2009 12:11:41 AM

I, too, had no choice but to root for the Mets... too bad I also forced to be a Jets fan

I'm a New York fan and I remember ONE championship in my lifetime for teams I root for ('94 Rangers).

FML

9/3/2009 12:12:07 AM

^^lol, i didn't even think about the other baseball teams. let me rephrase:

NY Mets, NY Rangers, NY Football Giants

9/3/2009 12:23:17 AM

LOL

my bad, you're fine thine, no argument here good sir

9/3/2009 12:24:21 AM
