Comic or cruel?

Right now there is a popular video on the Internet of a father, waiting for his child, watching kid after kid slip on the ice. He is photographing this from his car, giving a running commentary, and laughing gleefully as each youngster takes a fall. I think I am supposed to find this 6-minute video hilarious, but to me it seems kind of sick. Am I being a killjoy? I am not terribly amused by seeing accidents, especially when a fall can result in a serious injury. Sorry, but this cackling accident voyeur secretly taping from his car gives me the creeps.

About Me
- The Cranky Copywriter
- I am a retired copywriter. For 40 years I wrote for major agencies and developed some campaigns you would know. Like most writers, I love to give my opinion, and since I am so familiar with advertising this is the area I chose to comment on. Actually I'm not that cranky. I am as fond of as many things as I detest. But since most people only hear what one doesn't like, I might as well go with cranky.For my other blog idleideasfactory I am putting out there things I have written and ideas for books, screenplays, stage plays, and even products that I will not have time in life to follow through on. If anyone can profit from them, be my guest.
