Piñata Violence on Tape should be changed to Piñata accidents on Tape. The only thing that the kids were being violent towards was the Piñata itself and thats the point. The kids are blind folded theres no intent to hurt another human being. People get hurt because they are standing near/ running towards a blind folded child swinging a bat. Your argument is that noone will get hurt if there wasn’t someone swinging a bat around in the first place, but you could say that about anything. A kid gets a ball in the face at a soccer game , noone would get hurt if the kid kicking the ball wasn’t kicking it in the first place.

Also can you post links to your so called statistics ? beacuse I’m pretty sure theres way way way more Piñata parties then there are terroist attacks. And Im pretty sure most people in prieson where children at some point and have attend a party featuring Piñatas.

Hmm…how shall I put this so that I don’t seem like I’m insulting you. You are doing a classic strategy to get your point across. You show the video of pinata related violence, yet you don’t show the much greater number of videos that have children hitting parents with bats while playing baseball, or softball, or hitting them with rackets when trying tennis, or with hockey pucks…and the list goes on, even to include just hitting them for fun. If you wish pinatas removed because they are meant for kids to hit with a bat, then you must also have little league baseball removed, unless you truly are the racist you claim not to be (by which I mean that you wish the foreign thing to be removed but not the American one).

I love pinatas, my grand children have them all the time, this weekend though was like no other, we weht to my little nietos (grandsons) birthday party and I remember when they use to break pinatas on trees, now they have this cool looking tripod thing, it was cool man, they rented it from some jumper company here in Los Angeles, I went the internet and found it when i did a search for pinata stand they website is http://www.whosdale.com, it was really cool man, check it out…

oh and as for the gringo, behind this site, get a life, this is a tradition that’s been around for years man, oh for the coconut that plays the easter egg candy hunt “your an idiot”

I don’t think you remember the mountains of groin kicks and laughter on “America’s Funniest Home Videos” via the early nineties on.

I would however like to thank you for making this site for:
1) Demonstrating the first amendment as I am
2) Fulfilling “the internet as literally everything” even a site dedicated to taking down pinatas
3) Giving me an interesting debate

Furthermore, it’d be nice if you moved on to something that might actually help stop violence, like promoting education, or not letting your child sleep with a bat.

Either way, kudos

oh, please be for real. who ever came up with this site .I didn’t know that pinatas would make you violent .did you know what really turns you violent? parents not caring for their children their are so busy watching the soap opera,drinking with there friends ,having parties .not caring for their kids if they ate or not.Not knowing if every thing is okay at school. hitting their kids violently. having preference on one of your kids. instead of treating them equal no matter what the circumstances. letting your kid to do what ever he wants because hes a boy.and when he grows up .and the day you tell him he cant his going to bit you up. without a pinata bat with his owned hands. before you judge the pinata .lets start looking at our selfs and think why is there so many kids in the united state homeless. abandon . Why because they broke the pinata?

This has to be the most stupid site i have ever seen. This is the times that I really think about where the lines of the 1st ammendment should be drawn. Your want to become this huge flag holder on this topic could not have been any more childish. So what if someone got hit in the face with a baseball bat because they did not teach thier kids the difference between reality and games. I think that that was the fault on the parents part. Our country is going through so much more then someone getting hit in the groin with a bat and how we should stop it. What about the economy, gas prices, where the one missing sock goes when you do the laundry. I am sorry for the loss of so many brain cells when your pinata incodent happend, mabey if you get hit again, it will knock some sence into you.

I agree with Dusten. I’ve even seen videos of parties with pinatas on America’s Funniest Home Videos! They are for entertainment and if you, your child or family can not understand that then fine. But for the families where this is part of their culture who are you to sterotype? And only an idiot would compare a pinata to a gun. I regret looking at this site. It’s simply ignorant and the creator is obviously and idiot. Lets focus on bigger issues shall we?
