THERE can be only one thing worse than not getting the present you want this Christmas – and that’s finding your most wanted gift is just an empty box.
But that’s exactly what happened to this young lad – who thought he was unwrapping the Xbox360 console he had been dreaming of all year.
Instead, his mother stuffed the Xbox packaging with a few winter jumpers, and the devastated young boy’s beaming smile quickly turns to tears.
His family can be heard laughing in the background as the boy’s mother says to him: “We can’t afford an Xbox”.
The child, who looks around eight or nine-years-old, can be seen crying by the end of the three minute YouTube clip which has attracted thousands of hits
.
Internet users have slammed the family who appear to be American – and branded it the cruellest Christmas prank ever.
One user blasts: “That is too cruel for words - it’s one of the cruellest pranks I’ve ever seen.”
Another blogger writes: “There’s no reason this kid’s humiliation should be posted on YouTube for the world to see.”
But the brother of the little boy said the lad did get the Xbox in the end and would upload a video showing this.
A post says: “For all you thinking this is messed up, he sneaked a look at his gifts, so his family played a prank on him.
“He got the 360 a week later.”
Lol Bless. :P
