This is what happens when parents give birth to children and then give them an Xbox 360 instead of a Nintendo. From the accents its really American children that are out of control here. Funny stuff though.

I actually didn't find that video funny. I'm not saying it's bad to laugh at it, but I found it disturbing. Where are the parents?
Parents need to use the parental controls to lock their kids out of mature games or even online altogether.
I think we are seeing the end of the clueless parents though. My generation grew up with video games so we don't see them as toys. The last generation thinks video games are toys and toys are for kids so they don't even think to check if they are appropriate until they happen to walk in the room and see their 8 year old shooting people in the face in COD.
But I also fear that the latest generation of parents will also be too liberal and let their kids do what ever they want. Kids need supervision and they need to be told no. I grew up with video games, movies, tv, music, but my parents were there to make sure it was all age appropriate. I feel lucky that my parents cared when I see videos like this and watch kids who have no boundaries.
I agree that Nintendo has all a little kid needs for games, but it's not Xbox Live that did this to these kids. Xbox Live has just exposed what negligent parents have done to their kids. The true is that if MS required proof of age for these games the same bad parents would log in for their kids just to get them off their backs.

The problem is most parents hear about the ESRB ratings and still buy the games. They pause then (mostly mothers) look at their kids and see the hunger for the game in their eyes and just give in. I've been at plenty of Gamestops and seen it happen. If kid influenced sales were struck from COD, God of War, Halo, Gears, GTA or Assassins Creed they would sell literally half of what they sell. Little kids are going unchecked. My parents wouldn't have it and asked me how a violent game got into my house as a child. I am raising my kids on Nintendo and then when they grow up a little more they can make the choice. Those kids have absolutely no control despit how funny some of their comments were.

My older brother rented Predator: concrete jungle so naturally I wanted to play it as well. In one spot the boss kept yelling "fuck you" yet I sucked and was hiding instead of killing him. My mom heard it and made me stop playing :( I was twelve at the time.
OT: these videos are sad and funny at the same time.

You were raised well and you are raising your kids well. Unfortunetly for the kids in this video they will grow up to be just as poor at parenting as their parents are today.

Thanks. I fear for future generations. The worst one was when a little kid in halo called an older kid in halo the "N" word and then proceeded to say that his homies will kick his ass and "call me when your balls drop, kid." The kid sounds like he was born like six years ago. Halo is probably older than that kid!
