Those Kids Today...


My alarm clock goes off at 5:00 AM every day, and it is set to play the radio.  This morning, one of the DJs was talking about the latest prank to hit YouTube, something called the "gallon smash."  Here it is as presented by Good Morning America on ABC television.  The question I have is how such a retarded video got 3.1 million hits in a few weeks.  It isn't even very clever.


As you can see in the video, it's a few teenage boys doing what teenage boys do.  Namely, acting obnoxious and being ridiculous.  It's not particularly funny, and it's pretty stupid.  But it's certainly not national news, ABC.  Here's the whole video:


The radio DJ (the female half of the morning duo) seemed to be really concerned that other people would try to copy these pranks, and that some of the kids would get hurt.  This comment of hers really set me off.  She's worried that idiot teenagers might hurt themselves?  Really?  Because I think that them really hurting themselves would be just the thing to turn that prank video from barely watchable to HILARIOUS.  If you are new to this blog, read THIS to get my feelings about safety for idiots.

Don't expect me to feel sorry for some dip-shit who splits his head open flopping around on the floor and acting like a fool.  I might giggle, but I won't feel a moment of sympathy.  I hope one of them whacks his head on the linoleum and gets a concussion, so he winds up getting coloring books for Christmas for the rest of his life. And his mother has to explain to everyone how it happened, while he drools and gives everyone clumsy high-fives.
If only karma were a real thing.

Also, don't expect me to get all up in arms because some kids are being inconsiderate when pulling their dumb pranks.  Inconsiderate teenagers are hardly a new phenomenon.  YouTube didn't cause this, it just gave an outlet for the little retards.  Old people have been lamenting over the antics of unruly youngsters for as long as there has been the language to permit it.  Hell, even animals that can't talk get annoyed with younguns:

Yeah, you saw that right.  I put a kitten video in my blog.  What of it? I'm secure in my manhood.  You can put up football replays in your blog, if it makes you feel more macho.
