@TerraAcox no, it would be politically correct if they DID medicate him before the surgery but didn't film him. Showing this child when is defenceless is exploitation, but medicating the child isn't. Your definitions are messed up, sir.

@23chabeliz this is exploitation of a child after using drugs. It's not funny (well to some people it might be)!!

[23chabeliz]

(foncy)

children are starving all over the world, extremely young girls are being sexualized prematurely on channels such as TLC for the profits of broadcasting corp. under the guise of "reality tv" about "pageantry". women contract AIDS in countries where they think the cure for AIDS is raping a virgin. women are stoned to death for simply being ACCUSED of adultery...and you post a video and accuse the parents of exploiting their child because he is saying funny things under anesthesia.

@RynnAnna DON'T feel bad, even before the internet or youtube or tv or even books were invented parents have laughed at children's innocence and naivety and shared their antics with family and friends, this whole idea of this video being called exploitative is just a cry for attention and a ploy to get hits, WHATEVER you do, don't share this ridiculous nonsense. if you want to talk about exploitation of children, site REAL issues and incidents, not whore for controversy with this.

do you also picket the entrance to america's funniest home videos?

[TerraAcox]

uh, he's not being exploited, ma'am. would it be more politically correct if nobody filmed it and they just didn't medicate him before oral surgery, would THAT be ethical???

Anybody who has watched any of david's videos knows that he has not been imbarresed by this and has been milking it for all it's worth. The kid likes being famous and college costs money.

This is funny! I wouldnt mind if it happened to me! Memories to laugh about duh fool! Stop trying to get in ppls lives stupid fucking media!

[RynnAnna]

It's obvious to me that this boy is not enjoying his drug-induced experience even though the father asks him if he feels good. It is funny, but I don't think that I should find it funny because of his distress.
