A Star Is Born On The Today Show
On Today this morning, a sad story about a family's Christmas without their father and husband, who died in Afghanistan, turned into a one-kid show when Keegan Roberts put the sadness on pause by dancing in front of the cameras. Keegan can't help it. When the red light on the camera goes on, the music in his head turns on and the wick on his fingers and toes light.
Keegan gave the camera JAZZ HANDS!!!!, spirit fingers, monster claws (blame Lady GaGa) and high potent doses of attitude. A standing ovation is appropriate here. And I don't know why anyone asked Keegan what he wants for Christmas, because it's pretty obvious. Keegan wants a camera! YouTube, brace yourself.
The way this world works, Keegan will have a contract with YouTube, a booked guest appearance on the Ellen Degeneres' show and a manager by the end of the day. Willow Smith and Justin Bieber will OPEN for Keegan on his European tour next March.

it's just that some people never mature enough to let some unimportant things go, it's like staying in high-school mode for ever, where you suddenly become little bigots in packs who cannot accept anything unique or different than what is considered "normal" by the small whatever group surrounding you and try to ridicule others to position yourself among the cool pack, so immature,

a lot of things can make you unfuckable, I'm thin as a stick but very well-build, you don't know that until I take my shirt off so until then people scream "eat a sandwich" at me, I'm in my 30's and I look like an underage twink so yeah I'm pretty unfuckable unless you're some pervert pedo bone fucker and that's just some truck driver honking their horns at me or young school-girls with idol-fascinations, meanwhile the lovers exiting the apartment of my cute bootylicious chubby female neighbor are uncountable,
Maybe part of the reason military wives get fat is fear of moving on/getting over someone who might not return or is absent for so long. Subconciously they might feel that if they stay attractive they could stay on the market and betray somebody. I imagine it's a very trying situation to be in, you know, your spouse being on the brink of fucking death and all. So to all of you calling them slobs and whatnot, have a little sympathy. Being fat is not always about being lazy. I used to be fat, and I was always the hardest worker at my part-time job and one of the top students in my high school. And very driven. I might have gotten made fun of, but it was almost all behind my back because I worked. And so did/do my other so-called fat friends. There are deeper issues to this, as there are deeper issues to anorexia. You don't just say to an anorexic, "eat you hag!" thinking you're being reasonable. This is common sense level one psychology, people. And humanity, for chrissakes.
But as for the materialism, it does bother me. She should have gotten scholarship money and some educational stuff like a laptop along with the bikes and whatnot. A million things at once makes no sense and is just overdoing it and a gross distraction. They also could have bought them counseling or tutoring and still promoted WalMart. Such fucked up stereotypical American values here. It makes me feel barfy.

You're on your own in finding a recipe for sliced cheese.
That child is AWESOME. Poor thing. He lost his father but is pyched to dance for his own reflection; good for him! I'd rather have a child with great personality than some gorgeous slim cardboard kid.
And yeah, throwing gifts at them is nice and all, but maybe a few less gifts and start a scholarship fund that viewers could add to, so that the children have a chance of getting a further education some day...
Kids who are dancing and enjoying themselves should be encouraged to do so - he was hurting no one.
Besides I can think of another reason this cute little roly poly should bust a move OFTEN...
who needs a Dad when you can have a crappy WalMart bike?
yeah!
I haven't laughed this hard since they tried to tell me Barack Obama was smart!
Hahahaha to that kid, I do the same thing when I'm coming out of the shower and see my reflection in the mirror.
I also think this is why so many guys barely legal (aside from The Graduate and American Pie movies) desire women who are "milf"s... the women are in their 40's or older but have such confidence and know what to do in the bedroom that it is enticing to young males as opposed to some girl in her 20's who is still so self-conscious she is afraid to do anything that might make her look "less than sexy" in the bedroom.
But I am going way off topic here.
To stay on topic, I think that kid is hilarious. What parent could not laugh at that? I'd have trouble keeping my composure if my son was dancing in front of the camera. I think everyone who says they'd hate this if their kid did that needs to lighten up because this whole video is full of lol. It's not bratty behavior, it is just a boy being a boy. Children are not adults and seeing their innocence and doing as they feel, as long as it hurts no one or damages any objects, is like... Kodak shit memories.
Being obese in your youth affects interactions with people you might have a possible love interest in. Unless he/she happens to fetish your bigger size. But that's not really that common.
But hell, I say once you pass childbearing age 45+ and everyone around you is looking like you in the weight area and they like what they see, more power to you. My mother told me (she is in her 50's and a bombshell in her youth) that she would not trade places with a 20-something for anything in the world.
As you age, you gain confidence and start to give less of a shit what people think. Now I am in mid-twenties but I do know now I really stop giving a hell of a lot less concern over what anyone thinks about me than when I was between the ages 12-24. I speak my mind more and just have this natural confidence that seemed to come with aging and not giving a fuck. I imagine in 10 or 20 more years I will be (in my mind) ruler of the fucking universe... at least as far as my confidence goes and my own delusions. :D
hahaha, awesome!
That kid is so self-infatuated that it can only make you laugh.
Kinda like that James Franco's artsy video the other day.

what so wrong with being fat anyway, you can never hold on to your looks no matter who you are and how much you starve,hydrate or moisturize your ass, the clock is ticking for everyone, sure it's convenient to talk when you(we) are young, thin and pretty but is this all that makes a person? then by the time we're 50 there's nothing left cause you watch the thing you appreciate most in a person get forcefully taken away from you every step of the way involuntarily, and I wanna be better than that.

Well said! I think people try to drag you down by judging your appearance. They do it to boost their self esteem at your expense, knowing all the while they don't have much to offer the world in terms of intelligence/talent. I'd rather be a good, contributing member of society than an age/appearance phobe.
It's true though. I don't know we waste so much time self loathing and preventing the inevitable. You can't take it with you!

Hey, Jack if you jump on my back to chase Stoney, I'm up for it. Because I go to the GYM three times a week and work out. I loathe each single solitary minute I am there because I would RATHER be sitting on the sofa shoving chips in my mouth. But that behavior leads to obesity, and I am not going there.
And a bunch of shit from Wal-Mart for one family is just self-serving PR on the part of Wal-Mart and the Today show.

Um... is this about trying to give them some joy in a Christmas after their father died, or is this a fucking Wal-Mart version of 'Favorite Things'?
And I wouldn't say the kid was a "brat" for dancing around in front of the camera--he probably wasn't aware of the context. But I think I would have been quite embarrassed.
Honestly kids who are always hamming it up or doing shit to get attention get on my nerves. At least the girl was well-behaved, and she showed her appreciation
The kid was funny - I thought it was sweet, the girl and mother were very touched by the generosity. So what if they are fat, they're not the "I've eaten a small country" fat, it could be worse.
Parenthood is not for everyone. Nobody should have to explain why they don't have kids, whether it's by chance or by choice.
Exceptions can be made for close family members and friends who are asking out of concern. And even then, they shouldn't ask more than once a decade, and they should respect your answer.
Another thought - fertility clinics are filled with women who thought they'd get around to having a kid "someday" and when that day came, they were too old for it to happen easily and inexpensively. The well-to-do women you see having babies long after 40 almost always use donor eggs. Also, not everyone is eligible to adopt. Would-be parents need to understand the risks of waiting.
If however you know you don't ever want kids, live it up! It's far more selfish to have a kid you don't really want than to renounce parenthood. Child-free people make some of the most important contributions to our society. Also, they make great friends because they're not always comparing their kids to yours! :-D

That kid is a brat and a fat one at that. I'll ask the same question others have asked. Why are so many military wives obese?
*************************************************
I thought he was funny. It wouldn't have done them any good to tell him to sit down since he is male. Growing up in a mostly male household, I know from experience they don't listen anyway.
I grew up a military brat and have remained in areas where the local miliatry population is quite large. Let me tell you, as a teenager growing up military guys had a BAD reputation as far as going after young girls and getting what they want from them. They also tended to be the biggest body nazis ever and wouldn't even look at you if you were over a size 4. Now, I'm not attracted to boring, short haired types (I probably like my noncomformist art fart types out of rebellion), but they made it clear that my figure didn't cut the muster. I am not fat, but I am built not too differently from the Amber Rose/Beyonce shape. Before the millenium and J Lo, women with an ass and thighs(no matter how toned or flat tummied) were called fat. Thank goodness that ignorance is diminishing.
So, long story short, military men end up with FAT wives because it is straight up KARMA kicking them in the ass. They all started out super skinny, trust me. I love what our military does for our country, but there is always underground stuff in the real lives.
Bango Skank you are my hero :o) Whether you have kids are not, they are not a fantasy and require a ton of responsibility. I am also one of those "intelligent types" who is waiting for the right guy and till I am financially stable. Times have changed boy. Women with 5 bebe's kids get more dates than I do.

I've been asked repeatedly through the years, why we don't have kids, and I'm always shocked at the audacity of the question.
I now tell people --with a straight face and deadpan seriousness-- that I was once brutally raped by a gang of five year olds, and I've hated the little fuckers ever since.
No there's nothing funny about rape... But the image of 180 pound dude being held down and buttfucked by a pack of preschoolers is too offensive not embrace as a tool to offend the retards.

I love how the mom and the sister don't even blink while the kid is breaking out the moves. My sons would be all over each other and i'd be trying to slap 'em down in 5 seconds. And to all you disciplinarians out there (looking at you, kayray), i would not call this kid a brat for what he did.
