Digital Withdrawal/Teenage Hysteria


Where is Charcot when we need him?
Teenager freaks out over cancelation of his World of Warcraft account by his mother.


P.S. I love how the economy of the fatherly "shut up!" is enough to silence a fit of mother-provoked hysteria.

  1. greatest freakout kid has been identified as a fake (I think; these things are hard to prove on the internet), but interestingly this seems to have prompted more videos with even less believable performances: http://videogum.com/archives/contests/the-real-worlds-greatest-freak_080462.html

  2. In a way I am not sure it "matters" that these would be "fakes". Simply because even if some are, others aren't -- and their phony-ness is a product of other more legitimate -- imagined or witnessed-- performances.
