Is loopy dental kid video funny — or disturbing?

[Roon]

If young David DeVore’s loopy, out-of-body ramblings while feeling the effects of a dentist’s anesthesia were a prime-time TV show, he would land squarely in the Top 10 — between “60 Minutes” and “Grey’s Anatomy.” But the parents of the 8-year-old viral video sensation say they realize there’s a fine line between cuteness and exploitation.

Little David became the talk of the town after a flip-phone video his dad — also named David DeVore — shot of the boy, then 7, acting dazed after he got a tooth pulled, was posted on YouTube. Some 16 million people watched with amusement as David struggles to get his bearings, asking his father, “Is this real life?” and “I feel funny, why is this happening to me?”

6. It struck me as being very exploitive.

I wouldn't dream of posting my own kid on Youtube for the amusement of strangers. It's unfathomable.

Just wait to see what happens, should we survive another generation -- 25 years.

8. That video disturbed my whole family.

Me, hubby, 15-year-old, and 11-year-old. We were watching it with WTF expressions. Very sad, indeed.
