    Did anyone hear about this guy called Robert from Kilkenny who filmed his mother who was giving out to him about his Irish oral and put it up on Youtube?

    I mean people were either laughing about it, or saying "Poor woman, it's really frustating when teens don't study" but no one seems to be commenting on the fact that this guy filmed a private family matter and exposed it on the internet for the whole world to see?! And it annoys me to find that the s**t still has not took it down because it's still around on Youtube.

    I mean me and a relative of mine were arguing over something the other day, and a cousin of mine was in the other room laughing and was on her phone, and then my relative asked her what she was laughing at and asked her for her phone because she actually thought that she might have been recording us fighting. She said she wasn't, but I am still worried about that because I was on the computer at her house and came across a video recording of a VERY private family matter and it still disgusts me that she could film it. Not sure if she put it on the internet or not, but I deleted it anyway just in case, because she is not exactly miss innocence after what I have seen.

    But this is what I mean, that she become very paranoid when she had that phone on her because of this Irish Oral video.


    But is this what is had come to? Where a parent can't argue with their child without them recording it and putting it on the internet to have their five seconds of fame, and at the same time humilating them forever? I mean it's bad enough when bullies film their victims or people film eccentric things that happen in public, but to film your own family members is just low altogether.

    People have recorded things since the dawn of humanity, from cave art to smartphones.

    Well, they just worked with what they had. If they had youtube we would be inundated with videos of Hagar shagging a brontosaurus, and the cries of how his civil liberties were breached too.

    Thought he was a little s-h-it to be honest.

    But a video can travel a lot quicker on the internet, and you can't really tackle privacy concerns :confused:

    I approve of this. For a start, it's lulzy. For another thing, the possibility that you might be being recorded encourages a culture in which being a complete knob carries its risks. She strikes me as immensely annoying, and just as in the case of the KPMG incident, anything which encourages people to think about how ridiculous they look/sound before they act is a welcome change.

    If this was applied to boardrooms and cabinet offices around the world we'd have far less neglect and corruption.

    Poor poor woman, although she is a little over the top, he should not have done it. I would be mortified if someone has recoded some of the rows I use to have with my youngest daughter when she was a teenage.

    I use to get great satisfaction thinking that one day, please god she will have a teenager of her own and then I will have my revenge!

    Only difference though you can wipe away cave art or any type of hand-made art if you wanted to. Smartphones...once recorded and up online it is there forever. I feel for the woman, she could could be walking down the street, feeling that people on the street who saw the video are laughing at her behind her back, over something that is none of their business to begin with. If a family member did that to me, I'd never speak to them again.

    How is it possible that people still haven't seen or heard about this video? It was everywhere.

    Basically the problem here is..immature people who thinks it's funny to put videos of other people online.

    This was always going to be a problem anyway, since the invention of the camera or even since people started painting private affairs or family matters. And there's nothing we can do really, once it goes online, it's everywhere. Eejits have always existed.

    If little Leonardo Da Vinci painted his parents fighting, everyone who seen it later would have known. There is no real solution to it.

    I'd never heard of it before, but then videos posted by idiotic teenagers are outside my area of interest.

    Which means that pretty soon I won't understand the internet at all.

    Only heard it the other day. I actually didn't want to bring attention to it by starting this thread, but I had to ask if people were actually disgusted by it like I am, but people seem to think it's only a laugh. Also I am 20, it would have been two years since my LC and even then I had more cop on not to record anyone who gave out to me over my studies.

    Some cave paintings are up to 40,000 years old. Do you think that video will still be around in 40 years time, never mind 40,000?

    It was all over facebook, here on boards and was spoken about on at length on 2fm and the Ray D'arcy show- probably other places too. Just find it mad that people who use the internet still hadn't seen it! You're right though, he is an idiot. And his Mam was only doing everything any good mother would. He's a very lucky young man to have a mother like her, he should make more of an effort to appreciate that.

    I never listen to the radio, have lost touch to a great extent with Boards, very rarely use facebook and none of my facebook friends would post a video like this.
    The above sentence may or may not be explained by me being 29, and not following most mainstream media.

    Straying off a little but what gave you the right to delete it? Whatever about bringing it to someones attention but it wasn't yours to delete

    Didn't you hear? Youtube is being designated a UNESCO world heritage site, just like Lascaux. ;)
