I warn you now… Don’t watch this and then be angry at me for wasting your two minutes or whatever.
The only reason I post it is because I watched it four times in a row while mesmerized and simultaneously horrified. The adults that funded and facilitated this ought to be charged with a crime.
The kid is a good dancer though.
Holy shit.
I’d love to meet the ones responsible for raising this kid. Who’s brainwashing him? And what will this dancing accomplish, other than getting beat up when the bullies see it?
On the plus side he did say ass.
That was really, really, really awful.
What was the point anyway? Does he think he’s going to get beat up less now because of this video? Somehow, I don’t see this working out well for him.
Why did they go to the trouble of digitally lowering the backing vocals on the “Get tough! Get tough! Get tough!” part, but didn’t bother to tweak the lead kid’s helium- voiced rapping?
He is one kick in the nuts away from becoming the fourth chipmunk.
That said, I thought the acting was exceptional: I particularly liked the bully’s characteristic knuckle-cracking at the start of the video. Everybody knows that any bully worth their salt will make their intentions clear by grinding their fists. It’s the hallmark of a true childhood antagonist.
It really gave the whole thing a gritty, documentary feel. [/sarcasm]
well, you did warn me i guess. but i’m still going to say that was shit, and so was his gay dancing.
D-D-D-Damn! That boy needs to read yesterday’s Dave Tate article!
LOL at the overuse of autotune and how off-beat he is.
No wonder this kid gets beat up… smh…
I think the point of the video was to encourage people to “Get Tough.”
But really, I totally agree. I felt nervous walking in to my school everyday, esepcially without metal detectors. Kids these days are super fucked up, and will do crazy things without any remorse or thinking about the possible consequences and outcomes. And I only went to a school of 1,000.
DAMN YOU! That shit is stuck in my head now. I hate you.
So speaking out against tyranny is a bad thing.
Quite possible it was a school project and did not involve any adults.
He is still a little young but he to may end up in the weight pit.
I have zero tolerance for anyone that infringes on someones personal liberties.
I’ve also seen way worse videos.

“Only 1000?” I lived in a town of 1000.
Video was horrible, and that kid deserves to get beat everyday
My School had over 4,500+ kids, not once did I ever see anything fucked up happen. Just nerds getting made fun of verbally in class, and your random fights. To walk around afraid in a school is something unknown to me nor have I ever heard of from anyone in my school.
Then again, I went to a school that wasnt in the “projects” so what do I know?
Do not show Fear, simple as that and dont act like a fucking dork

Metal detectors are worthless anyway, especially at larger schools. My junior year, my high school installed metal detectors, but only two. Suddenly it took 45 minutes just to get in the building, if you actually waited in line. Plus damn near every back pack had something that set it off. So bags had to be checked, but since this was already taking so long, the checkers just glanced in. If they saw some books, they let you by.
Even better, most people just went to a side door away from the detectors and waited for someone on the inside to open the door.
I didn’t think the video was that bad. If the kid put it together himself, that’s actually pretty impressive. Yeah it’s corny, but people in this thread are going way overboard.

Don’t these small towns in Iowa suck.
And while he does have a good point that teachers need to step in… for some reason when watching the video I wanted something really bad to happen to him.
Maybe it’s just me, but the whole thing seems contrived. There’s nothing about the kids in the video that suggests they come from an underpriviledged background, let alone show the reality of having to go to school and worrying if you are going to survive until the final bell.
The whole thing screams “child actor”. You’ve got to bear in mind that a lot of the videos on Youtube are posted by people who crave fame, and there is no better way to gain attention than to put yourself smack in the middle of a ‘hot potato’ issue like the escalation of violence in schools.
“If you are a wuss, you get beat up by cool kids.”
Is this something new? I kind of thought this was the natural order of things.
It IS the natural order of things. The bigger/stronger dominate the smaller and weaker. That’s how the world works.
Errr…I really think the kid needs to stop dancing like a fuckin high school musical actor and uh, start lifting some iron maybe. Just saying eh…
His school obviously isn’t too dangerous if he is still alive after that video.
I bet his parents are wondering if it’s too late for an abortion.
