VIDEO: Some couple thought it would be a great idea to turn their kid into ‘Pac-Man’

While cute to some, to myself, it’s yet further proof that hipsters make lousy parents.

To be honest, I have no real proof that the parents involved are a pair of twenty somethings that live in a gigantic Willamsburg condo where they live off the money that their Etsy store (at least for food and day to day expenses; the rent is actually paid for one of their parents, whose a lawyer) and have at least 13 different machines made by Apple.

Though the child’s green hair color seems to indicate more filthy hippie parents from the midwest than hipster scum that inhabit Brooklyn. Still, in either case, the poor child either enjoys a care-fee, structure-less childhood, one complete with home schooling, which will make him an absolute nightmare to deal with when he turns 13.

Or, he’s been deprived of all the pleasures that a normal child gets to enjoy, including television, video games, comics books, and clearly candy. Hence why he’s allowed himself to become a human skinner rat. Though in either case, $20 says that they marshmallows being used are the completely flavorless kind that they sell at those annoying vegan food co-ops…
