That's how I picture Americans - if there's something you don't like, shoot it.
Sad but true.
I have actually loaded a snowman with TNT and shot it before. That was fun.
Dang... now all I need is a snowman and some TNT, lol.
It's a good project. We had old TNT decaying in the basement and had to dispose of it. Didn't buy it just for this. I found a bag of it one day as a kid and was like "dad, what's this" and he freaked out since TNT becomes pretty unstable sitting in a leather satchel for twenty odd years.

As an American I find this offensive.... Now hold still and stand in front of that tree....

When I was a teen my buddy's dad did civil war reenactments, and had a bunch of tannerite in the basement. We were playing with fireworks, and he brought up a can, showed us how to use it, and went back inside, leaving us to our own devices. I have no idea how no one got hurt, but it was fun.

It's amazing what a couple pounds of that will do. Ignore the title, since it's not the "largest on youtube" but it's pretty amazing.

Lol social media isn't the problem for poor behavior... there's a deeper issue with the parenting skills obviously.

What parenting skills?

Well okay then...I agree with your point but that lady is crazy!

When it comes to all these strange videos of parents using guns or explosives to destroy technology they almost certainly paid for (morons), I don't know what is trashier, actually thinking this is a good form of punishment and posting it to the Internet isn't stupid, or people who praise it in comments.

E) All of the above.

I think the praising it less about the blowing of something up, and more about parental involvement - which hopefully is a good thing. The fact that they feel the need to post a video about it - sigh!

At first, when I saw that video, I was like score 1 for involved parenting... But wouldn't it have been much simpler and cheaper to just hide the phone(s)... or format them and sell them on ebay?
I don't see a crazy mother (an idiot, yes, but not crazy...more on that in a minute)... I see a mother who most likely told her kids if you do XXXXXXXXXX again, I'm gonna blow up your phones... and the kids didn't believe her... to their detriment.
Was it good parenting? In some fronts, I could see yes... (Punishment for her kids disobedience, etc). I don't see her pointing the gun at people or animals. Just the target she had in mind.
Was it smart parenting? Heck, no! There's 1,001 ways to get rid of a cell phone that don't involve guns or blunt objects. (Well, make the 1,000...blunt objects are kind of fun to hit things with). A lot of folks could even see this as being a bullying tactic...
Like I said, I think she's an idiot for handling things the way she did... but she wants her kids back, and this got their attention.

there was parenting? I saw none. I saw an old petulant child using force, screaming and swearing about the need to obey and do what she says. There was no parent there.

That was a five year old having a temper tantrum in the body of an old woman. If the goal of parenting is to rear the children, that's the opposite. She was the exact example of what we hope our five year olds have outgrown.

picks self up off of floor, still laughing
That's probably the most accurate thing I've read all day.

What's worse is all of the people around appear to be adults. Maybe they are tall or older kids, but I felt like they all seemed like they were in their 20s. Couldn't figure out who the one being punished was.

LOL. Love it
