Take a look at this one: http://www.kontraband.com/show/show.asp?ID=2569 Way better than that looser

Talk about a bad temper!

I got about half way through that second one and decided she's crazier than the first one.  But that kid, lol.  Hitting the TV?  Because he died?  LOL!  I'll admit I sometimes swear at a game if I am sucking horrendously, but I don't go off anywhere near that level.

Yeah, I saw that video with the angry mom a couple of months ago...someone needs to retake Parenting 101.

That's mom one is just sad....

When I play games, I am no wear near the level of he first one, and that mom  is just totaly unhinged. She is running on pure rage,how sad. No wonder she is devorced.

the kid is obviously frustrated by the lack of control that comes from playing the game on a console.heh

(another point against 'console gaming' )

Man, I hate sore losers.  But those are the type of people who will fail at life because they get angry for failing, which will make them angry at life, which will lead to voilence.
As for the mom...Can you say "Domestic violence"?

the second one seems staged.  there's too much symbolism. the camera is pointed at a stack of Xbox games to show how spoiled the kid is, there's glass of milk(symbol of motherhood?) sitting half-full on the desk(or is it half empty?) to show that there are two sides to every story,  the kid won't even get his ass off the bed to show that he's just that lazy. etc. and there's just too much volume of exposition thrown in for this to be normal speech.  shes a single, divorced, mom, working 2 jobs, can't afford a car, works till 11pm; he has a better paying job than she does, his GF is named Jen.. etc etc.. it just never ends.  and it even seems like forced dialog at some pionts . like when she says "if you're stilll in myhouse when I get back from work, at 11:00pm" .. it sounds like that 'at 11pm' part was thrown in for the benefit of the audience to show how late this woman works. *shrug*

and then we get to the end and she crying about $50 while the camera pans around the room to show about $10k worth of luxury trappings in the kid's room. LOL. the big screen TV the computer the glass-top-desk the high-back leather recliner.LOL.  it just seems fake.

here's this woman crying real tears because she can't scrape together $50 to take a cab to her second job, because her son won't lend her HIS car, when she doesn't even own a car of her own (because she just can't afford one?).... and of course she only needs the car/money to get to work, so she can pay his bills and support his lavish lifestyle.... while he proclaims all the while : I don't want to live here anyways. (heh)



this seems too much like somebody's first year sociology/psych project where you get a bunch of random people to view the tape (maybe by posting it on the internet?) and then take feedback from viewers (by allowing internet viewers to post comments?) just to see whose side they take, the mother or the kid.

*instant term-paper*

personally I find it hard to sympathize with either party
