I love a good controversy. Especially one that is so ridiculous like this one. There is a video going around on YouTube of a 4 year old kid reciting the Herb Brooks pre-game pep talk. Apparently, he watched the movie Miracle with his dad 150 times and memorized the speech.
The controversy is that a parent let his kid watch a movie 150 times, or that he’s somehow exploiting his kid by posting his video on YouTube. If that were the case, I’d be in big trouble considering how many videos I’ve posted of The Things. I like the video. Maybe the kid has a bright future as an actor.
As for watching a movie that many times, we are probably approaching 30-40 times Thing 3 has watched Toy Story 1 & 2. These days it’s the only thing that will stop his mega-tantrums. Am I giving in? Maybe. But let’s see what you do when you need to get 3 kids to school on time. It’s a small price to pay. And now, after seeing this video, I have more motivation. If we watch another hundred times, maybe I can film him reciting the lines, put it on YouTube, and start a controversy of my own.
Here’s the video so you can decide for yourself

I think it’s brilliant! I’d be bowled over if I met this kid in person.
If someone doesn’t like that, SCREW ‘EM! :-)

That’s gold. I have no problem with brainwashing your kids to love the sport and the team that you love. It leads to lifelong bonding.

I love this video. People have too much time on their hands if they’re going to complain about this. The kid is funny. My 2 year old has most of shark tale memorized and has 3 different dance routines for the 3 songs in the ending credits.

We see this at every Missouri Mavericks Home game and the crowd cheers everytime! Kid is great and it makes my day to see this clip. Get over this political correct stuff and see it for the humor behind the plan.
