I wonder how many of these asshole whiner concern trolls told their kids they ate all their halloween candy and videotaped their crying for all the internet to see. THAT is a shitty prank. THIS is a lovely thing to do for kiddos.

yeah on those videos, 'cause I want to watch a child be reminded that she's powerless o_0

Those make me so angry. I don't understand why people think that's FUNTIMES, COOL STORY BRO thing to do to your kid.

I've seen parents who swiped fries from their kids hands and laughed as the kid cried. I wanted to go over and slap the food from their gob and see how they'd like it.

What these kids got in a trip to a toy store? sweet and wonderful.

I HATE those things with the fire of a thousand suns. They are just plain gross.

That was a disgusting prank. I can see doing it if you know your kids are going to just laugh it off, like some of them did, but some of the kids were bawling, and the parents just stood there laughing - wtf? Congratulations on enjoying your child's pain?

Wait, what? That's a thing? I hadn't heard about that. How fucking cruel do you have to be to do such a thing to a child?? *fumes*

Pretty standard fare from Jimmy Kimmel.

ETA: Though, to be fair, it is the parents who do the actual pranking. But still..

I think he actually turned it into an annual event.

That... omg. I can definitely see show personalities being dicks enough to suggest such a thing, but that parents actually went out and did it??? There are not enough legos in the world for those assholes to step on.

It makes perfect sense if you think about it. They come from a school of thought that says if you do something nice for your kids, you're "spoiling" them, whereas if you do something mean to them, you're teaching them how the "real world" works. You know, that the only way to get what you want is by being a bully. :\
