The comments on that video are horrifying.

Um. I have to say that's the first time I have ever seen a newscast set up a report like it's a Jerry Springer segment. Her brother looks so much like Chris Rock I was waiting for maybe a Funny or Die logo to pop up at the end or something. I mean, he quoted Hairspray!!
The Dodson Family. I smell reality show!

I'm at a loss for words. I do love the brother. He seems to be auditioning to understudy Lafayette on True Blood.
From the title of this thread, I assumed it was going to be about Kristin Stewart.
WTF? Excuse me while I pick my jaw back up from the floor...

It's the same guy that did the Jessi Slaughter voice over.

I would just like to say I would love that crime scene investigator to dust me for prints.
That Hairspray reference... priceless. I LOL'd.
While I see the humor behind the brother's persona -- are we really going to laugh at someone that was almost RAPED?
She SHOULD be pissed. Too many women are too ashamed to be pissed and fight back, yet alone talk publically about it.
Good for them, frankly.
Yes, rape is serious...
A crack head posing as a Leprechaun is not however!

The auto-tune people are mad geniuses. For real.
I won't lie, I laughed.
But you just know some White Supremacist groups are using this footage as proof in their inferior race training videos.
It's funny (not the rape story, but the other video clips) but I feel a little uncomfortable b/c I'm laughing at these people, not with them.
But it also seems like they are playing to the camera. Not that them saying "hey, look at me - ain't I funny" makes it any less wrong. But at least no one is taking it all that seriously.
I watched the videos again and I found myself actually impressed with their reactions.
Neither defaulted into victim consciousness. Usually you are shown the weeping would-be victim emotionally falling apart before the camera. We are supposed to empathize with her pain and hope she isn't too scarred by the trauma.
The next thing they usually show is us the angry father/brother male protective figure who is so consumed with rage that such a thing could happened to his family (as if they are somehow entitled to be immune from misfortune) that he puts on his vigilante gear and burns down half the neighborhood in search of the perpetrator.
These two are - as the the thread title described - irritated.
They aren't giving this idiot anymore power over their lives than is necessary to see that he doesn't attempt to hurt them again.
To me that is impressive.
The original video is hilarious.

People do know that the expression "run and tell that" predates Hairspray, right?
PRS, I don't think they do.
Just like people think Claire Boothe Luce quoted WICKED when she wrote "No good deed goes unpunished."
... if they think of Luce at all, that is.
