Je veux les bon-bons

Description

The video <a href="https://twitter.com/historyinmemes/status/1581255329639124993" source="Twitter">One of the most effective ads to air in TV history</a> is of a child misbehaving in a grocery store, with the father looking on in horror as the child escalates a desire to get what it wants into a full-blown tantrum involving destruction of property. The boy yells <iq>je veux les bon-bons</iq><fn> a couple of times, then goes apeshit. <media href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4jFqDGXjtk" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/v4jFqDGXjtk" source="YouTube" width="560px" author="" caption="Je veux les bonbons"> The fun police showed up almost immediately and settled in to the top of the comment thread. <img src="{att_link}kathryn_sucks_too.jpg" href="{att_link}kathryn_sucks_too.jpg" align="none" caption="Kathryn Sucks" scale="50%"> <img src="{att_link}corey_sucks_too.jpg" href="{att_link}corey_sucks_too.jpg" align="none" caption="Corey Sucks, too" scale="50%"> JFC, shut the f#%k up, Kathryn and Corey. It's a joke. Relax. It's funny because everyone knows that some kids suck the life out of nearly everything. Just because you blame it on neurodivergence doesn't change the fact that they're sucking the life out of everything. It just explains it. <i>Of course</i>, you can't blame them for it if they're really <i>neurodivergent</i>, but they're <i>still sucking the life out of everything</i>. All the commercial is saying is that maybe you want to think about <i>planning</i> a family rather than just letting it happen because <i>alcohol</i>. Some kids are great. Some suck for a while, then they're great. Some are great until they start to suck. Some of them suck straight on through for decades---possibly because of asinine support of their awful behavior. <hr> <ft>I want the candy, in French.</ft>
