    I'm not exactly sure who would place a video camera right there. Additionally, the camera would need to be hooked up to a different computer for him to not notice it.

    More than that, anyone who uses computers frequently knows that you never pound the keyboard while something it loading; the system will think you are aborting. Additionally, no one would treat their keyboard that way because then they wouldn't be able to play anymore.

    Let's give it the benefit of the doubt and pretend that it is real. It's one kid. Just because it's on uTube doesn't mean that the little freak monster represents anyone beyond the walls of his home. He does not represent a culture, a generation, a race, religion, country or heritage. He's one little kid. That's it.

    Watched about half. Looks like a combination of explosive anger syndrome and some retardation. The webcam might have been placed to keep an eye on a kid who was known to be mentally ill. Or even to document his outburst so a doctor could witness it.

    Or it could be fake.

    I knew a homeless guy who suffered from explosive anger syndrome. As he got older he gradually learned how to control it. But by his own account he once shot his car with a shotgun because he was so angry at it after unsuccessfully trying to repair it. That made no sense. But explosive anger subverts reason. (Car Talk last weekend or the weekend before reported on a man who was injured when he tried to shoot off a lug nut with a shotgun, apparently more of an anger reaction than a thought-out attempt to loosen the stubborn nut.)

    So the video could be real. And could have come from just about any culture. We've seen some pretty strange stuff on YouTube.

    I think the biggest argument for fakery is Who would post such a video? But maybe a sibling of the kid got hold of it.

    That's hilarious!

    Now, the question is, which is the original and which has fake subtitles? This version is actually more convincing.
