1,001 "OHMYGODS"

[plumtreeblossom]

This vid is about one-fifth sweet and four-fifths disturbing. It's 50 children shrieking in ecstatic rapture upon opening Nintendo Wiis on Christmas. It's a freaky mix of glee, fearsome social pressure relieved, marketing gone mad, and sugar buzzes. I don't remember a must-have-it-to-be-cool toy from my childhood, except maybe the Lite Brite, but when I opened mine on Christmas I didn't go apeshit because I'd gone a'hunting through the house's nooks and crannies and found it several weeks before.

Anyway, ohmygod, um, enjoy....

The Most Disturbing of All, in Entirety

I can't help but feel a staged aspect to this. But yeah, while I reminisce over how awesome it was to get what I wanted (1/5th sweetness), this is just plain disturbing (4/5th):

Turn your speakers DOWN NOW.

*squick*

The thing that gets me is, within 8 weeks time or so, this conversation will happen:

BRAT: (on couch) I'm boooooored.
MOM: Play with your Wii.
BRAT: Don't wanna.
MOM: Why not?
BRAT: It's stupid. Why can't we have a ________ ?(insert newer and even more expensive game system)
