It seems unfair to condemn an entire nation for the “sins” of one parent. But at the same time, it seems unfair to expect your 11-year-old child to connect your electricity as though he were Con Edison, all without such fancy tools as “support” or “gloves.”

At first, I didn’t get what the second half of the video is there for. Clearly the money shot was the little husky gentleman being forced to connect the electricity. Then I realized, this must be an official El Salvadorian tourism video. Come to El Salvador…where the children are worked like mules, women are built like fire hydrants, and everyone gets a refreshing can of Salva Cola. No wonder the travel industry is booming.

I guess you can’t begrudge the parents too much. It’s important that you have your kids learn the importance of hard work at a young age. Plus if he electrocutes himself given that El Salvador is a relatively impoverished nation, how could you pass up free barbecue?
