i found this amazing video on youtube, (which is actually a commercial but still extremely good) and it totally rings true.

everyone should watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVmZXaZZfsI

That commerical was scary. I don't know. Scared the wits out of me... cause most of the time, it's true. I mean, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree after all.

Damn. How depressing. :[ We all need to watch what we do.

omg how horrible.
most of that is so so true.

That's a really good video. We all need to learn like that, well at least adults do ;]

Yeah, thanks for posting this!

yeah, it's hella true. my sister cussed infront of my little baby cousin and now she's cussing.

omg why are you posting videos here?!

^ you obviously don't know what CB is about ;]

That's a cool video. It does a good job of catching your attention and sending a message in less than 2 minutes.

Moved to Entertainment

oh i thought this place was for like...web stuff hahaha.
sorry about the ignorance.

juna, i don't believe this video is 'entertaining'--rather, it's 'educational' (but not school stuff).

please move it back to the lounge.

It's a commercial, so I thought it belonged here more so than The Lounge.

but it was posted in the lounge because it doesn't technically fall under the category of 'entertainment.'

could you pretty please move it back to the lounge? pretty please with sugar on top?

Ha ha, well I guess if you really want this in The Lounge, there shouldn't be a problem with it.

Moved to The Lounge

I agree, not a bad video at all. Does send quite a true message.

well, if my little cuz acts like me, i'll start bitching and beating him up.

Niiiiice.

wow that was sad yet interesting, its true though :\

awww...but VERY VERY true

Wow that's just so...SO.

It reminds me of the little kid in Meet the Fockers

But wouldn't beating him up be even worse?


Wow, I'm glad I'm a good influence for my little brother. I can't imagine what it'd be like to have him act like my sister was when she was a teenager..

^-- i agree, thats so true

Wow. That made me feel really sad. Even though I don't have a sibling or any younger children around me, it still scares me how much children copy their parents, older siblings, and society as a whole.

^ Changed your display name back?

Parents are a child's biggest influence.

^ (Yep. I like it better. =P)

I haven't seen this commercial played on TV.

Extremely true video.

Maybe it's only played in Australia... since the link ends in AU.

Ohh....whoops, didn't see that. >_<

Aw, what a true, meaningful commercial (lol, there are few out there). It's sad to see the reality of things though.

Wow. Some people need to take a parenting class.
Good commercial.

Thats kind of touching, it is quite interesting. Very true though, parents are a child's biggest influence. The end is a bit scary

Some of you may have already seen this, but it was something that really made me think after I watched. This video was forwarded to me by a professor of mine and I thought I would share.

Yeah, I remember that being posted here a while ago.

It's a pretty well made video. (People do a good job of getting kids to act these days...)

That is pretty depressing. :(

It's really interesting as well. I think parents should actually watch it.

I found it an merged! =]



I know! Very convincing actors. *nods*

This so true, I have a friend that live across from a playground, I sat out to wait for him and watch the little ones play. One kid simply decided to kick the slide before he went down, it made a lot of noise so his teacher said stop (pre-k kids was on a field trip thing and they had a cook-out) the next kid behide him decided to do the same suddenly all the kids was doing it simply because it look cool.

This is a dumb video. It's an extremely bias view. What about the kids that DONT do this? How come there aren't videos of them.

AboveTheInfluence

Its scary but true.
I remember when I first got a cellphone I would talk on it all the time, and now my cousins always pretend they have a cellphone and tell everyone they have one.
