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....

I couldn't watch it. A bunch of spoiled kids screaming in fake glee, ovedone because they are expected to be. Makes me cringe like hell.

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.

Weren't the parents of these children once the kids who just HAD TO HAVE the Cabbage Patch Dolls, and whose parents, in turn, were ready to KILL in order to get one for them - at any price at all?

Seriously, these kids need some major medication!
