To certain lengths I agree with this..

Have you seen America's Funniest Video's any time in the last few years? This is a show that features people of all ages getting harmed in freak accidents or by feats gone wrong, for laughs. Watch grandma fall on the ice and into the bucket where she fractures her hip bone. I don't see the humor in stuff like that, but it sells to a public desensitized to other peoples misfortune. Its insane. I don't get it, and I'm not missing the point either.

Value systems. It was more important to those parents to get that reaction from their child on camera than her better interests. I can't think of one person that likes something so sour it gives them that reaction that they enjoy repeating it in the course of natural enjoyment, let alone a kid.
