YouTube Dad

Don't like the rant your teenage daughter posted online?

A North Carolina dad responded with a video of his own ... and gunfire. On camera, he shot up his daughter's laptop, generating nine million hits on YouTube and fleeting national fame.

Here are some questions...

•What sort of things do you see on YouTube that you don't typically see on TV?

•TV is believed to have had a standardizing influence on American culture. Does the Internet do the same?

•Does the Internet encourage extreme behavior?

•Is this video true, or is it a hoax? How do we know?
