I remember back when a clip of that episode was on the sift. The girl bitched, cried, and screamed because the car wasn't presented at the party, and I was completely in shock about her behavior.

Whenever I tell my peers that this newer generation of children are completely fucking spoiled out of their minds, to the point where they have absolutely no respect for themselves, anyone around them, and especially their parents, I use this very video as my example. Sure, not every child is this bad, but the majority of them are pretty damn close, from my observation.

I'm sorry, I'm around that age (19) and nobody I know would react anywhere nearly as badly as she did in the movie. Infact, we'd all probably be so shocked we were actually getting a car in the first place, even if it was an old junker, we may be crying tears of joy.

The difference between me and that kid? My parents aren't rediculously rich. This kid was obviously spoiled from birth, and got everything she ever wanted, how she wanted it. When she cries, her parents buy her something to her feel better.

Now, I can't truly speak for anything earlier then 1989, but i'm pretty sure there have been kids like this since the beginning of time, INCLUDING through the 40's, 50's, 60's 70's and 80's, which ever generation you grew up in. So I have to disagree with you completely.

The kids these days are almost the exact same as they were when you were growing up. If your family had/has money, 99% of the time, you're spoiled with it.

Absolutely brilliant. Gotta hand it to the guy for telling it like it is. Today's TV is terrible, frankly. Just this week, Paris (hate her) Hilton made headline news by falling over in prague... I fell over in Rotterdam once, don't think anyone even noticed.

The way rich people create non-spoiled children is to absolutely, 100% refuse to use their money as a substitute for their lack of love and/or attention.
