I haven't looked for updates, since the topic is not particularly interesting; but it might be pertinent that early reports of the video indicated inability to confirm that there was a real daughter or a real FarceBook posting. It seemed to them quite likely that this video was made for YouTube and doesn't reflect a real situation.

If the father was able to acquire the laptop to shoot it, he had it in hand to do any of numerous other more appropriate things with it, and had no need to violate the environement (and most locations' laws) by splattering it all over the landscape.

There have recently been numerous similar "obviously contrived" videos about smashing iPhones et. al. that illustrate the great attraction for the public to examples of puerile behavior.

Most certainly, publicising his "spat" with his daughter in a way that ridicules both her and him was inappropriate, but with a modest bit of relationship counselling for both - assuming there are real people involved - I see no reason to believe the incident should have consequences that any of us should be interested in worrying about.

The Siberian Mastodon is about as believable, and does offer some points for discussion.

Quite incidentally, what I get at Bert's link allows you to offer comments but does not show you what you're commenting on. Maybe a lot of us would feel quite comfortably at home there, but I get little satisfaction from it. (Is the link the best available?)

[Note: So maybe I'm just in grouch mode because the cat just sneezed all over both keyboard and monitor. Watch for my coming video on the "appropriate" discipline I apply to the cat, as soon as I find some suitable road-kill for his stand-in.]
