4. While I loved the one where the little girl said she'd "walked all over the neighborhood for two

hours....," the little one at the end was my absolute favorite.

Some kids are too sweet for their mean parents. I wanted to hug the little one who said, with a thumbs up, "good job," and the little boy who siad it was okay, I hurt for the little girl who said it was okay, and "Yes, please" through her tears when asked if she wanted to finish eating her cereal...

5. Where the hell do people get off laughing about making any kid cry? SICK!!!

So-called 'adults' who do so are sociopathic bullies. I despise them.

6. I agree

It is not funny. It is a sick joke. Adults, ok, fair game. These little kids don't know. Most don't really care about the candy so much, it could have been anything. The event is not their design. It is that they went out and had fun and this was their precious, beautiful, happy prize. The custom could as well be go around and the adults hand out marbles or something. Or pennies. It is what the candy, the prize represents. It's like saying hey kid, I killed your new puppy, haha LOL, isn't it funny to see them cry.

7. No doubt he's going to continue to expand his 'let's make kids cry for ratings' segments

Probably his next assignment - "Tell your kids that mommy just died" or "the dog ran away because you didn't love it enough..."

Let's turn those cameras on and see what happens.

I could understand the first year when Kimmel came up with the idea and thought that most kids were just going to get mad... but immediately he acknowledged that most kids actually cried. So, now knowing that, why continue?

Well, ratings are king. Money is king.

Having a heart... not so much.
