Amazing, man! Great work... original vid was awesome to begin with. Yeah, kinda sad for the kid, but who was the idiot who let their kid wander out there while the guy was dancing?

its kind of differentiation... a breakdancer is classified as somebody who doesnt have a concept of the dance, doesn't have flavour or their own concept...bboying is somebody who understands the art and excels in it. Breakdancing was a media created title...it isn't really a big deal, but it is the word we use for the art

peace


AHAHAHAHAHAAAA :lol

Oh man I'm actually crying... too god damned funny.

Because kids are dumb and stupidity in action is funny. I also find it funny people think the parent is some how to blame. I guess everyone here keeps their kids on a 1 foot leash and have it firmly in grasp at all times. Kids are dumb and will wander into things no matter what. You just have to hope that when they do they won't get crippled. This one just happened to wander into something HILARIOUS!

Ding ding ding!! You win the expected alternate POV/devil's advocate award. When this thread was first created I knew someone was going to give the parents a pass. I started thinking I might be wrong, when it hadn't happened by the third page. *Whew* that was a close one. GAF can never be entirely in agreement through the course of a thread.
Even if the topic, like this one, is as clear as black and white.

BTW, anyone know what happened to the kid who got flash kicked? Was he/she OK?

At the very end of the video she was already starting to get up on her own, and kids can take a huge amount of injury without realizing it (I once fell down 15 feet from a slide onto concrete and only noticed later that I split the back of my head open, needed 3 stitches. I was 6)
 
Hey, lets ban some innocent guy that's performing an art instead of blaming irresponsible parenting.

NEXT CASE! Video games. Ban them, they cause violence in children.

Uh...i don't think anyone is seriously talking about banning anything.
 
Little kids will do that with DDR at the arcade. If I'm playing doubles...they probably don't even know it...but some are careless enough to try "dancing" on the same side you're on. Those ones I'll yell at and send them running away. I haven't even had a parent get pissed off yet cause they were either were not there or know that they were negligent.
 
Didn't read the whole thread but didn't the guy get charged with assult or something?
 
Blackace said:
I don't think he should be charged but I read that somewhere he was charged..
oh, i get it. anyway, if he was assulted, he's lawyer would probably just need to show the original video to clean the name of the accused.

This is almost funnier than the clip!
 
Just out of curiosity, how many of the "irresponsible parents" crowd actually has children?

Looks like to you a little child running off for a minute while the parents are distracted is a sign of bad parenting. Next thing you know, you'll be asking for their heads when the kid get his clothes dirty.

That one was 100x funnier than the first Edgar vid that was posted here.
No. The Street Fighter one is much funnier.
The execution is dead on. Takes me back to 1992.

You don't need a kid to have common sense. It's a busy subway station where someone's breakdancing, you look after your kid - You don't look at the ceiling and go "oh i like the mosaic pattern - Oh look there goes my kid flying as they've been kicked into the air"

Have you not been in a GAF parenting thread before? These people are EXPERTS.

- You should see their criminal justice credentials too!!!

The other day at Burger King this kid, the same size/age as the tyke that got flashkicked, ran across the driveway to beat her mom to the car. The mom yells at her as she is doing it, but the point is, it was too late. I don't have kids, but I guess being raised by good parents makes situations where you should have a firm grip on your child obvious. Little flags are raised:

Dangerous driveway with oncoming traffic = hold child's hand
Large crowd of people, looks rowdy to boot = hold child's hand (or even go so far as to pick her up)

This was just a dumbass parent, end of story.

Actually, I think the point really is that you can be a good parent, but every once in a while your kid is going to be a kid and get away from you. 99% of the time the kid will make it across the parking lot and the worst that will happen is some random dude will rip on you on a message board for being an irresponsible parent. However, 1% of the time, by a sheer fluke of space/time, a kid will wander into the line of fire and get a boot to the face (and then many dudes will rip on you on a message board for being an irresponsible parent).

Nothing is 100% guys - I'm not saying these particular parents are good or bad, because it's impossible to judge from that one picture - even from the best parents little kids run off sometimes. Most times it's innocent, they get scolded, everything turns out. Some times a kid gets nailed in the face. C'est la vie. Just watch the video for the lulz, keep your blame finger holstered for Burger King.
