  1. I honestly thought this was a real pointless thing to do and that there were plenty of other things people should've been paying attention too,

  2. This is one very lucky guy, I think it's hilarious in a good-natured way that his kid rose to fame so easily and just by his good looks. However, this shows how shallow our society has become, taken up to social media to discuss the looks of a teenage boy. And I agree with Elvira, we could use this effort to help more important things become more noticed by people. But this Alex from Target better take advantage of this moment.

  3. I agree with the comments above. While funny, it's also disheartening that we only become aware of things that have to do with someone's looks.

  4. I find it appalling, I am sorry to say that but there are much more important things to worry about and this is the reason people are so ill informed, maybe look up whats happening in the white house or Iraq as opposed to being absorbed in some poor kid who's privacy was invaded.
