  • You shut up. ...

    You shut up. You're not even mature enough to realize I wasn't referring to the star, the girl in the video: I was responding to the idiotic comment above by "Laveolas" who posted that he has slept with the woman who plays the mom in the video.
    Get your fact straight before you rip someone for no reason.
    PS: I know more about the meaning of this video than you ever will. I happen to know some people who suffer from Alzheimer's Disease.
    Go away.

    Shut the F**k up. That way out off line, she's done way more than you have. And well you're basically calling her stupid when you're the one who is too stupid to know about the meaning off this video.

  • The only thing you ...

    The only thing you sleep with is a teddy bear, you stupid child.

    Well, that and also with your pint-sized pecker in your hand.

    This video is far beyond your comprehension. Go watch cartoons or rap videos. That's way more suitable to your infantile intelligence.

    Wonderful video makes me think about how most people in the world are so happy and have so much, and yet some people have this.

  • Man, there are a ...

    Man, there are a lot of "I don't get it" comments, which is actually more sad than this video.

    The point of the video is to show you the effects of Alzheimer's disease, which is a type of dementia that can make you forget anything, everything, things and people that are important to you.

    The little girl acts bratty because she's a little girl who has to grow up and take care of her mother, instead of her mother taking care of her.

    Reading is mentioned because it helps prevent the disease.

    FYI there's a section on every youtube video page called "more info". And a thousand people have said it's about a girl and her mom who has alzheimer's disease.

    I think that was sort of the point of the contest. Turning a vlog into a production.
