Showing crying kids on TV

Personally, I think is low. He's a kid. Kids should not be exploited for TV production. Actually, I thought NBC was terrible for trying to exploit Bode Miller's grief during the Olympics. So maybe I have a problem with highlighting people in their weaker moments, regardless of age.
Surprised they didn't have a camera follow him out to his parents car.

Well, they shouldn't show it - he's just a kid.
My favorite is when they show adults crying, though. You know your life is easy, you have nothing going for you in life, or it's not complicated yet when you're crying over losing a basketball game when you aren't even on the team and had no money on the game

Id say that depends. If you are a fan of a blueblood that will probably be back there within 5 years at minimum, crying is ridiculous. But it certainly could be an emotional thing to watch a historic run end for a fan that has been a fan for years and knows they may never see something that special again in their lifetime.
So my kids are coddled because I don't like tv exploiting crying children? How abused are yours?
Do you really need to put that in here? Does it make you feel better about yourself?
Meh, when I was like 12 I was like that, but now that I'm grown up and have more important things in my life ....just saying it depends on what's going on in your life.
If you saw my reply post to CyArob in the "Round of 32" thread, you would know I don't like the idea of networks constantly showing crying kids on TV. I posted it because you know there will be people that didn't watch the game asking about it.
If I needed self gratification from the internet, I have more problems than just posting that picture.
Do you feel the need to play the moral high card on everyone when they post something you don't agree with? (see, I can do it too). Get over yourself.
If they want to see it, they could certainly seek it out. If you don't like the idea of networks showing it, then I would say it's hypocritical to post it here and allow it another outlet for going viral. Sure, it's just a drop in the bucket in terms of how many ways it can be dispersed, but why help it get there?
I did not read the other thread - I have only seen what was in this thread (and saw the clips on tv while watching the game). I stand by my comment. Reposting the gif here served no good purpose, and since it required effort on your part to seek it out and post it here, IMO it gave you some sort of satisfaction posting it.
Do you need to cater to the lowest denominator? The door swings both ways.
You're giving some of the posters on this site too much credit. We consistently have posters who log onto CF and start a new thread asking about game times and TV channels when "they could certainly seek it out" elsewhere.
I guess that gif coming across my Twitter feed required a ton of effort seeking it out. :goofy:
But alas, I did not post it to seek satisfaction. You know what happens when you assume things...
Yea, wasn't sure why BS didn't put Frankenstein back in sooner at the end, only guy he had left who could shoot.
You must enjoy "One Shining Moment". No crowd shots in that at all.
One shining moment sucks. I'd like to see all the amazing plays. Not some preppy cheerleading waving her pompoms.
I absolutely hate that song. That being said, I'll get over it quick if they play it for the Cyclones. Any other time I hear it I absolutely hate it though.
Like I said...you're catering to the lowest denominator. Seeking it out? No. Taking the time to paste it in here, yes.
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. You feel posting it was justifiable; I feel that posting it was unnecessary.
