Come one, come all -- do I have a treat for you. Well actually, this 14-year-old from New York has a treat. After missing a few days of school, YouTube user Magmaflower (handsome grin, seen right) wanted to send his girlfriend Briona a special video telling her how much he loved her and missed her.
Magmaflower (best username EVER) told a local radio station that he was going to email his girlfriend the video love note, but the file was too big -- so he decided to put it up on YouTube instead. Since he loves his girlfriend so much and doesn't care who knows it, he decided to keep the video public.
I will warn you now, I am not responsible if you pee your pants laughing. Thus I present you with "My Video for Briona":
The way that he says baby girl. The lip licking. I DIE. But the little gem of a quote that really does it for me: "You mean more to me than gold and diamonds mean to the greediest burglar."
This video is hilarious in a lovesick puppydog kind of way, but there's a bigger problem with what's happening here. These days, no matter their age, people have no shame on the Internet. Whether its a viral breakup letter or hilarious baby video, everything and anything are fair game on the world wide web. This should have been a private message, now everyone and their friends have seen it and are making fun of the New York teen.
Even so, he just doesn't seem to care. He's giving radio interviews and has even made a Facebook page supporting his vid. What's it going to take to realize that things like this should be private, not public? When is someone going to push the envelope too far?
Do you think Magmaflower should have kept his love video private?

Okay yes, I did watch this video and laugh a little and maybe posted it on a friend's facebook wall with a joke, but I really do feel bad for this kid. After all he is a person and nobody wants to be made fun of or be called creepy. I think he should have kept the video private because the ridicule he is getting from it would make even the most confident teen feel bad about themself. I'm guilty of being a total hypocrite with things like this too, I think bullying is horible, yet what am I doing when I laugh at this boy and make fun?
Um....yeah. Would have been a good idea to just mark that one private for "baby girl" only.
I think it was adorable and funny. I loved it. He just seems like a love sick boy trying to express his feelings.
OMG! That is hilarious! It's so adorable!
K..really... my husband TOTALLY says this kind of cheesey, goofy, madly-in-love-with-you stuff to me everyday (although not so publicly). I love it! Every woman deserves that.
But....this is just a teenage boy... and we ALL know that teenage boys say things like this to get luuuccckkkyy!
I think it is super creepy, if Briona were my daughter, I would not let her see this boy. Ick.
DEF should have kept it private.
