The Funcave’s Saddest Video Of The Day

As a parent with 2 small children, I was horrified when I first saw this video over at Engadget

I cannot fathom the kind of parent that would be idiotic enough to think this is a good idea.

Not only that, but the family is evidently screaming GIMME! now to Microsoft, expecting Redmond to send the kid a unit and all kinds of stuff to ease his heartache.

So here’s a short letter I’ve composed to this kid’s family…

Hey Dumbasses,

You chose the trauma route for your son/brother/etc., you ignorant numbskulls. Not Microsoft, not Engadget, not George Bush, nor anyone else. I hope rabid chipmunks eat out your eyeballs while you sleep, so he can be adopted by rich zillionaires who won’t treat him like crap.

XOXO

The Funcave

Feel free to add your own letter here in the comments.

  1. Maybe they should turn in their movie camera or cell phones and cable tv and cigarettes and beer to do something for the kid instead of for themselves.

    I’m with you Chris - send in the chipmunks.

  3. That honestly broke my heart. I would buy and x-box and send it to him but I know that will never fix the damage done by such a dumb and thoughless act. I hate stupid people almost as much as I hate people that hate…
