Yeah, "OMG!"

There is absolutely nothing that arouses loathing more than a mentally challenged child talkin gibberish? That's just an nasty post MM, and it makes you look like and ugly person. It sounds like something Meow used to post- and I know something even more vile, repulsive and unpleasant than that Youtube video: Your reaction to it.

Clearly, there's something wrong with the kid.

Yes, he's American. B'dum-tish.

If anything, the kid's vocabulary suggests that he's a bit advanced for his age. He's just been exposed to a lot of "believe in yourself/live the dream" bullshit, which isn't his fault.

Well I live in America and I've never seen a kid talking like that. There's a problem there

Which means that none of them do, ever?

Try watching some American kids' programmes, especially the likes of Barney. They are full of nauseatingly precocious brats spouting "believe in yourself" motivational bollocks.

It's nothing new, either. The After-School Specials were doing it in the 70s and 80s.

So you've never heard of children being influenced by what they see on TV? I take it you don't actually have kids yourself, then

The kids a mental defective
Ask any kindergarten teacher and they will disagree with you. But what do they know about children's language development, eh?

Unfortunately he does, or so he claims. Oh for eugenics.

It's nice to see some people are so wrapped up in the envy/hatred/annoyance of Americans that they can't see this for what it is...a kid who talks too much in a tongue in cheek video (the music in the background gives it away as not being serious)

Mentally ill? Pushy parents? American?

Bloody hell my boy was lecturing me on what to eat and why when he was five. This kid is just taking his little achievements a bit too seriously. Why are some people so nasty they have to try and take that away from him or the funny nature of the clip? Children should be encouraged to do well - not to be a bunch of miserable sods with a "can't do" attitude we so much of today.

The kid is annoying but he's just a kid...and not nearly as annoying as some people who are bigoted towards Americans, Children or anything resembling a positive attitude.
