Fuck off.
It is pathetic that you find it amusing to laugh at someone with such a horrendous genetic condition. I am sure your parents are proud.

I don't find him funny, but I do find him fascinating. This was a front page video at you tube when I went there today - Youtube suggested that I watch it, and I have suggested that you watch it. Especially as there was some discussion about him on this board yesterday. You shouldn’t immediately assume that I'm laughing AT him. Having said that, there's plenty of comedy value in anyone who films themselves dancing to "pretty fly for a white guy" and posting it on youtube without a shred of irony. He’s got big brass balls – I’ll give him that much.

OK, well in that case I apologise.
It is just that a load of his videos have been posted on here the last couple of days with people laughing at him which I find rather reprehensible, particularly coupled with the comments posted to his channel by 4chan twatnuggets telling him to go kill himself and such.
I just think that there are better ways of learning about Progeria and it's victims than laughing at a kid who is just trying to lead an average life despite his condition.

why do you think it was front page?
a billion views by 4chan cunts mayhaps? i am a complete arsehole a lot of the time, but i would never take the piss out of someone that obviously doesn't need the piss being taken out of them. if it is on the frontpage for any other reason then i would be amazingly amazed...

it was front page because.....
i'd viewed some videos about this guy yesterday, based upon links posted on b3ta. Youtube was simply suggesting videos similar to those in my youtube viewing history. Shortly after the b3ta links went up, his account was closed. I thought it interesting that today he was back under a new name, although I agree its more likely that some other cnut has posted them for him.

Christ, since when did B3ta get morals?
Seems that its ok to post 9/11 piss takes and jokes about the Soham murders but this video causes an upset?

Because it's a malicious assault
entirely for personal amusement on someone who's very much alive and on the receiving end of it.
See my list below.
b3ta is just a bit near to the knuckle, by no means a free for all.

I disagree
He posted the Youtube video, because he wants us to look at him. To simply look the other way is to say "I can't handle your disability"...which in turn is simply drawing attention to his disability.

"malicious assault" were the key words
You can notice people without calling them defects and posting their real address, phone number, etc. online.
It's the equivilant of seeing someone in the street and spitting in their eye, 'cos at least you noticed them!

Maybe yes, he wanted people to look at him,
and maybe in his own way wanted to show that having progeria doesn't mean you can't lead a normal life, but I am sure he didn't post the videos wanting to be pilloried, bullied and ridiculed.

So posts about people who are dead are ok because they can't see them?
Please don't take this as a personal attack, just amazes me that b3ta users don't seem to bat an eyelid at things about child abuse, cancer or major disasters, yet this has caused a stir.
I think even if he wasn't suffering from this disease this video would still get grief. Lets face it, the whole gangsta crap makes him look like a right cock.

Nah, that isn't him I don't think.
When he started getting all the 4chan abuse the other day he took his channel down. I guess that is an account created by one of the moronic twats over on /b/

Sadly, I think this comment sums the place up quite well :(
"Well he has Progeria. Which makes him age much faster than normal. His bones are so brittle I could snap them like a twig. He is a defect of nature and should have been put out of his misery at birth. Just the oxygen/water/food that he consumes on a daily basis, far exceed the value of anything he could contribute to society before his brittle bones snap and his heart gives out b4 he hits 20. He is merely a pollutant in our gene pool."
Fucking cunts!

Is some troll on the internets any better a use of resources? At least this guy (in the video) is going at it.

He was born into teh world in a shit position, so whatever the hell he wants to do, he should be able to.

Oh yeah, I totally agree,
I think I was trying to get more to a point that he has every reason to hide away from the world, but he is clearly just trying to be as normal as possible.

It's also factually incorrect too

Is it a lol? - fine;
Is it a lol at the expense of a public figure? - fine;
Is it a lol at a mass tragedy? - fine, there's no personal malice;
Is it a lol with respect to the standards of the Colloseum? - not fine.
The standards I've picked up, at least.

The debate of double standards when it comes to b3ta jokes is a pointless one.
if someone finds that genetic disorders are funny then let them have their fun, but they shouldn't be suprised when people find it distasteful, because outside interwebs land, in the real world the insults are pretty fucking pathetic by any persons standards.

It's empowering that
ill people can be twits.
IMO he does a significantly better job than most youtubers. I actually like his FU attitude and his moves, frankly, aren't bad. Inside that sick body is just a guy being as pissed off and stupid and angry as everybody else, though I like the discipline too. Just because he's got a condition doesn't mean he has to suddenly become middle class and have to hide himself away.
At least he's an honest cock. There's something to be said for that.
