"...Hopefully I caught the slider."

"That was awesome - I just hit the camera with the wiffle ball." Really dude? Was it just the awesomest thing EVER? Perhaps. But allow me to drop some knowledge on you. You may or may not know but the price difference between a camera and a wiffle ball is a fairly large one. A wiffle ball costs like $2.50, a camera does not. So spend a little extra dough on a piece of plexiglass to protect the camera, alright? "Hopefully I caught the slider." Hate to break it to you but I saw little to no movement on the ball before you nearly broke the lens of your camera.

  1. Your statements were valid until you used Know instead of No... which poops all over your opinion.

  2. I understand posting wiffle videos and writing about them is fun, but don't make fun of kids on YouTube! Kind of a jerk move if you asked me...

  3. If a video is posted on YouTube and you allow it to be "viewed by all", then it's free game.

    I agree with "it's free game", but c'mon! If your content is making fun of jr. highers and their videos and slider... then i think it's stupid. But, it sounds like I'm in the minority.

  5. What is said about this video is pretty harmless.

  6. true this write up isn't bad, but i first saw it on facebook... "Watch a kid display at just how big of a failure he can be." That's what I'm referring too.

  7. "Peter" - I've enjoyed reading your feedback. While I have developed a reputation for being a "ball buster" in the past with posts on this blog, I still stand by my description on this particular video.

    You pointed out the description on our Facebook page, glad you follow us along on there. Seeing that these comments would have made more sense to post your opinion there. But then there's the ambiguity of being an anonymous commenter on a blog. I guess I could see the allure. In this respect I suppose I should say that your "opinion" or "statements" are not valid.

    I did say watch how big of a failure this kid can be...what I did not say is watch how big of a failure this kid IS. Key difference there. I never called the person in this video an overall failure. Hell, even the kid in the video was amused enough to title the video "Wiffle ball fail!"

    Be it that you are Peter or Anonymous, the improper use of "know" was duly noted and corrected. However, try to keep in mind that this is a BLOG and it was 7:33 AM and I went to work directly after posting this. So I'm sure you won't mind cutting me some slack.

    Why can't I poke a little fun at a harmless video? Tosh.0 does this kind of thing all the time and says WAY meaner things about his subjects. Think about that.

    Anyway, Peter thanks for reading this far and I hope you continue to stick around and read. I'm hoping my response to your allegations do not offend you, for that is not my aim in the least. But I felt that such statements deserved recognition and a reaction.
