Britain's got brats

I find it extremely tacky to dress down a twelve year old. That includes comparing one kid's freak out to another kid not freaking out. What are you trying to say, Shorty? Six year old girls are barely aware that boys have dicks, and you're making some sort of judgment on the quality of her character versus some other kid?

I'm glad you could tell that from watching a twelve year old at their worst.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Call me judgmental, but I've seen enough children perform even more professionally and adequately than some ridiculously paid idols (who was that one chick that lip-sang on SNL and made a sorry excuse later that she had a sore throat?); after a while you just recognize patterns.

You're referring to Ashlee Simpson, who was 20 when she performed. You're comparing a twelve year old freaking out in front of God and everyone to an adult who lip synchs? They're not even slightly comparable.

I'm not saying the mother isn't controlling, and I'm not saying that the girl isn't a brat. I don't know her. I just don't think it's fair to judge someone's character and find it wanting after a three minute clip, nor do I feel it's cool to be as hard on kids as you are on adults. God damn.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, you can come up with a good feel for someone's personality while watching them for a few minutes in a normal situation. But in a high-stress situation, when a kid is breaking down? All you're going to learn is that the kid acts obnoxious when she's throwing a tantrum. Everyone does, that's why no one likes tantrums.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
