  • Wow completely staged... at least the children version actually had a point

  • Crap !

  • U guys r stupid there trying to tell us wat u can do with marshmallows

  • It's not funny, you're right.

    But the idea itself is great! The "actors' " behaviour represents the four intellectual stages described by Piaget.

    The one licking the marshmallow is senso-motoric, just trying.

    The juggling and cancan guys are at the pre-operational stage.

    The blue-shirt-glasses guy is at the concrete. stage.

    The lady in greenish dress is at the formal stage. (organising).

  • i dont understand what they are trying to get across
