Oh, I'm sorry. it was NOT meant to have racist connotation. Please change "brotha" to "Dude", or maybe "The Nice Young man".

More likely she took one or more exs to the cleaners in court and has them paying for it. Males never win in court against a female. Not ever.

I'm not at all surprised that this happened in MA. There are some seriously uptight and miserable people there. Maybe it's the weather, dunno.

She's a head case fo' shizzle.

He got himself involved in what I call, "selection error."
But then, maybe they were compatible in the beginning, as we usually seek those who are on the same development level, after all.
I have no sympathy for him.

"What do you want to do this weekend?

I don't know, anything but hang around here.

Let's go away, to the Bahamas or somewhere nice.

Yeah, who the F is going to pay for that?

Hmmm.

Hmmm.

OK, here's what we do. You know your neighbors that are away on vacation?

Yeah, what about them?

Their car's on the street, right?

Yeah. That Acura.

You got something I can smash stuff with? OK, here's what we do. I'm after you! I'm going to roll up and you can start making s*** up about me and I'm going to smash one of your windows and key and smash the car.

You're gonna smash my window?

Yeah, it'll be more real. Just tell your landlord some kids did it.

Why are you going to smash their car? They're nice people.

We'll put the whole thing on YouTube and make millions!

Baby, no one's gonna care about that.

OK, but what if I try to kill by smashing into their car with you right there?

That might work but then your car's gonna be all smashed up.

It's POS old Mercedes that's more trouble than it's worth, plus we can get new cars with all the YouTube ad money rolling in, and we can go to the Bahamas.

Turn your phone on and give me something to smash stuff with.

What a great social experiment. I suppose our social environment and exposure growing up helps influence our visceral response to this video.

I spent my first 14 years in a rough neighborhood the only male in a household with a single mother and two sisters. Father was a philanderer, gambler, and drunk who left us very early in my life. I witnessed a lot of negative male behavior, so my immediate assumption is the guy burned her.

Others, just the opposite…Assuming she's just some goldigger psycho hose-beast going off. LOL It would be great to know both sides of that story.

FWIW…I do NOT condone her behavior.

I'm sure the prosecution would be interested in your guess. Have you been called to a deposition?

It is interesting. Put me in the camp of having a long history with psycho gold diggers.

Did anyone here see an ad preroll on this video? No? Overlay ad? No? Then no ad revenue.

Trust me, as someone who regularly gets 1 million views a month on Youtube, fully monetized in all markets, with 85% placement rates, the owner of the video would be lucky to get a few grand - IF the video were monetized. And that's assuming any advertiser would want to be associated with the content - which is unlikely.

Some people have trouble with the concept of capitalism. Money does not just appear out of thin air if you have a lot of views...

Now back to bashing the woman.

Whoa! Just the guy I need to talk to.
I have the cutest video of my dog humping an amaryllis with my crazy hamster going around and around in his wheel in the background. Also, I want to be a millionaire.

And I've got one taken in a sleazy Chicago hotel room.
A street whore standing and bending over buck naked on a coffee table with a few of the local political elite throwing oranges at her ass.
What's my percentage?
