They did this at my high school's graduation awards. The award was for "best slacker" and they gave the guy an xbox 360 box. He opened it and there was a brick lol. Then they announced "I guessed the guy at the factory forgot to put in the xbox... what a slacker."

I don't see any way to give something just to him though, no matter what you do his dipshit family is going to benefit.

I agree - the family will just sell it anyway....

They're not going to start buying the kid $50.00 games.....

That video wasn't funny at all. I had to shut it off halfway through cause it was just so gutwrenching to watch that kid.

What part of "Look into the camera and cry" was funny to you guys?

yeah real winners. some kids just dont have a chance at life because of who their parents are.

ding ding ding...

That is what's wrong with America. That kid will probably have some definate emotional problems. Wait til the kids at his school find that!

This same thing happens on Reno 911, Season 5, Episode 3 where the kids dad gets stuck in the chimney and Lt. Dangle pulls out a sooty XBOX360 box and opens it to reveal two packs of socks.

After watching this again, I think that it's either staged for the video, or else the kid knew he was getting an Xbox and was faking the surprise.
Watch his actions and reactions when he first sees the box. IMO, PLAINLY faked, as are some of his other reactions prior to finding clothes in the box. I get the impression he was shocked that the console wasn't in the box, not that he was getting one in the first place.

All in all, I think the whole thing is faked and I call SHENS on the video.
