Your parents ever do anything mean to you for their own amusement when you were a kid? Whatever it was, something tells us it wasn’t as evil as what Jonathan’s (above) family did, having him unwrap an empty Xbox box with some shirts inside — while on video, mind you — and next laughing at him when he got upset and cried that he’d been hoodwinked. For the love of all that is holy in the gadget-loving world, that is so wrong. The person who uploaded the video, supposedly the kid’s shining example of an older brother, claims that despite the fact they told Jonathan multiple times in the video, “C’mon, you know we can’t afford an Xbox!” the family actually did get him the console and that he’d eventually upload the video of the real unwrapping — he never did. (Original video after the break.)

Jonathan, you out there? Screw those humans, they clearly don’t understand what it is to be a kid and to want an awesome gadget so badly you can taste it. We’ve been there our whole lives. Since, as a publication, we can’t just adopt you and raise you as our own, I will personally send you an Xbox 360 — only on the condition that you swear to us your douchebag family doesn’t ever get to play it. Hit me up at engadget at gmail dotcom, assemble certain you can identify yourself so I know I’ve got the right person.

[Thanks, Greg]
