Some kids are too sweet for their mean parents. I wanted to hug the little one who said, with a thumbs up, "good job," and the little boy who siad it was okay, I hurt for the little girl who said it was okay, and "Yes, please" through her tears when asked if she wanted to finish eating her cereal...

It is not funny. It is a sick joke. Adults, ok, fair game. These little kids don't know. Most don't really care about the candy so much, it could have been anything. The event is not their design. It is that they went out and had fun and this was their precious, beautiful, happy prize. The custom could as well be go around and the adults hand out marbles or something. Or pennies. It is what the candy, the prize represents. It's like saying hey kid, I killed your new puppy, haha LOL, isn't it funny to see them cry.

Well, ratings are king. Money is king.
