I get angrier everytime I watch this. Almost 2,200,000 views on Youtube.com

I love horror too. And I wouldn't hesitate to take the chance to scare the crap out of my 14 YO son; but he's known me all his life (duh) and trusts me. This kid doesn't trust Chad, and we know this because the title says so: CHAD SCARES THE CRAP OUT OF HIS FUTURE SON-IN-LAW
If you listen, you hear the poor kid begging "Chad? Chad? Chad?" and Chad keep taping it. For what reason? To post on the internet. Sick.
/zactly
I have almost no idea what you just said.
No; I have NO IDEA.
Exactly, and anyone who doesn't realize it when viewing it isn't going to change their mind because of anything said on this site.
Speeky di englishe?
How many times have you watched it? Why do you watch it again and again, then?
Blog pimping the video is only going to push up that number of views.
two times.
Didn't take much IQ power to notice the 'viewed' number.
That same clip (sometimes with shocking music) pops up in some flash animation or other graphics, sometimes presented as a "Can you spot the difference" puzzle.
The trick is to get the victim to stare closely at the screen and to be focused on the image when the switch is made.
I can't say it is appropriate to do this to anyone at any age, but I've seen such posts several times in the past few years (can't recall if another one was even posted to FR say in chat).
Big brave adult male (not a man) pulls practical joke on little boy than rubs it in by making fun of little boy.
Which word from ROBERT HEINLEIN quote did you not understand?
Two schools of thought, then:
1.) It was horrible for the kid
2.) Good (ultimately) for the kid
A third thought: if you need to gain the trust of someone, for very valid and substantial reasons, don't start off the relationship by destroying any trust they might naturally hold for you. Especially the trust of children.
I'm not gonna play games. No, I don't get it. Enough?
When it first happened I was startled and I then laughed at how it went SO over the top into scariness.
But I'm 40. I'm not some obviously wimpy kid who needs to build some kind of trust with this guy.
Wow, Chad, picking on a little kid and posting it to millions--what a real man you are. If I were this kid's parent or grandparent, Chad would be having a meeting with me about appropriate behavior, and the words "Grow the **** up" would be spoken at least once.
We used to beat up bullies in school. But who's going to beat up this kid's bully-to-be dad? I would think childrens services is just around the corner on this one.
My husband sent me the link to this game. I didn't play it until the kids were in bed and I was about to head there myself. I had the volume up on my computer when that thing screamed at me. I slammed the lid on my computer so fast! Almost as fast as my heart was beating. I'm 33 years old and maybe a little wimpy but it scared the crap out of me! It was a good prank but I am an adult. I would never do something like that to a kid. That is just horrible!!!!
