A Demonstration on Pride (updated)

In my church we’ve been doing a series on the 7 deadly sins. Today’s sermon was on pride, and we opened with a video presentation that included this YouTube clip here of a girl upset because her father just gave her a car that was red, and she REALLY wanted blue. Her reaction is priceless, and I couldn’t do it justice here with a description… you just have to watch.

The real hero here is her little brother, who was able to leverage his father’s preoccupation, his sister’s hysteria, and the overall commotion to courageously capture the whole event on video the viral marketing warriors across the electric ether.

Have you ever heard the expression “better to be thought a fool and remain silent, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt?” Well, lest you think that this girl’s initial reaction was a caught-in-the-moment, out-of-character, knee-jerk, emotionally-charged reaction to what was a wonderful gift… she was kind enough to record a video response that removes any doubt she is indeed a spoiled, self-absorbed whore-child an actress!?

I’m heartened that this particular set of videos cannot be used as evidence of mankind’s decay (being staged and all), but here’s one that (purportedly) can:

    You all realize this video was most likely not real anyways, but still funny….

    True… but as an engineer I gotta roll with the statistics. :-)

    @Scott
    Yeah, after watching her response video to the first video a couple times I got thinking that it seemed a little over the top. Then I watched the third and fourth videos… and they seemed really contrived. Then in the LAST one, the pizza ad part finally comes to fruition. Those tricky viral marketers! :-)

    You’re right, she’s not a whore. She is a rich, spoiled, whore. (I know. I’ve used her.)
