I would pay good money to see one of the guys restrain him and the other jump on his computer and delete his myspace page.

IF that's true and not staged, the kid needs to IMMEDIATELY be banned from the computer. That's a sign of a VERY unhealthy obsession and he needs serious help.

i don't think this is staged. the kid (and his parents) need some intervention before he becomes the next shoot 'em up poster boy.

jeebus cripes!!!

$10 says the next thread we see related this emo little bitch of a kid will be the one about how he committed suicide after the people in the myspace community and the internet in general ridicule him mercilessly.

This reminds me of the one with the German kid who went batshit over CounterStrike (or maybe it was Unreal Tournament, I forget the exact game). It's the only thing I have seen that even comes close to rivaling this one.

How do you know its not staged though ? Anyone can stage this if they really want to.

Holy crap that little kid can scream. Good god. MySpace ain't the problem, that kid has some serious fucking issues.

I don't know the whole backstory so I can't comment on his older brother. But Jesus, I'd pick on my brother when we were younger (what brothers don't?) but for fuck's sake he didn't act like the kid in the video. :Q

Kid should be in the movies if it's staged. Oscar worthy performance.

I don't know. But I'm just working under the premise that it is not staged and that the child has serious mental and behavioral problems. Whether it is actually staged or not, I still think you would have to be completely mental to stage something like this. What would be the point of staging it?

Well you will never know that for sure.

So you could easily carry on like that? That kid was pure evil and mad. You could see smoke coming out of his ears. Not an easy act.

Even if it is staged the people involved still have severe problems. What would be the point of staging this? Attention whoring? That's still a certain sort of mental disorder. . .it's a cry for help and an unhealthy obsession with attention one way or the other. So it doesn't really matter if it's staged or real. Either way the kid needs help as does his family.

Eh, I don't see anything that bad on there. Its an older brother and his friends messing with his younger brother (who screams and cusses a lot). The kid is just reacting to being picked on. When they ask him what his favorite feature on Myspace is he's calm and just says he doesn't know.

Right, so an 8 year old with a demon mouth is normal?

How do you know how old he is? Also, what the hell is a demon mouth? He's just screaming and cussing, throwing a tantrum. I've seen that behavior from kids younger (and older) than that. To be honest, you know who needs help there, is the older brother. He's likely the one who taught the kid all the cuss words, and the consistent teasing is what is causing the kid to be like that.

way to defend abnormal behavior.

:thumbsdown: to you.

Ok, the video was kinda funny, just cuz the kid freaks out.

As to big brothers messing with little brothers, it's ok if it's in fun or a prank. This didn't look like fun.

I was a horrible older brother to my lil bro. I didn't treat him like a person until he was about 16. It's the single biggest regret of my life that I wasted all those years when I could have been the cool older brother, and instead was Chet from Weird Science. We've reconciled and are really close now, but I often think back on my young self and shudder.
