Piñata Violence on Tape
Leave it to network television to turn pain and suffering into reality tv laughs. I recently came across this video from one of those stupid home video shows. It is a montage of piñata related violence with the audience laughing uproariously. I understand the concept of schadenfreude, but is someone getting a bat to the genitals really all that funny? Watch for yourself. I’m sure you’ll laugh, but in the back of your mind, remember that you are witnessing real pain.

Where are the videos of Latinos breaking pinatas? Leave the pinantas to Latinos, they are aware of the danger and rules to pinantas, thats why its fun.

You can’t be serious. How about you redirect your aggressions towards parents who smoke around their children instead. That is far more harmful than taking a plastic bat to the head or groin.
Seriously.

Really? Pinata violence. I have seen pinatas and been to parties with pinats since I could barely walk and I have never seen any act of violence come from it. They are no more dangerous than playing baseball or riding a bike. Sure some incidents occur and accidents are never a good thing but I am certain there are more dangerous things out in society today we should be focusing on instead of pinatas. And why would anyone say giving a kid a pinata is like giving them a gun? That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard, The creator of this website is an idiot.

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?

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.

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?

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
