This.
I can't believe it... not only the complete lack of appreciation, but the damn greed. What sick people. I always feel guilty during the holidays because of the less fortunate. But man, I just feel SO DAMN BAD for these spoiled snots. </sarcasm>
what their parents should have done?
Their parents should have bought them a booby-trapped pepperspay gift... *spoiled brat opens gift* <cssssst> AAAAHHH MY EYES!!!
Lesson learned. Next year their tweets would be:
Sp01ledBr@T: Wow, this xmas rocked. Got a gift! AND no pepperspray! Thanks folks!

+1 ...I can't imagine so many kids being THAT selfish and entitled. Otherwise, it's a sad sad world if these kids don't realize about their selfishness. I mean really...your parents must be filthy loaded to get you a car for Christmas. But they are pretty narrow minded to think it's the end of the world as they didn't get a bloody iPhone, lol. These kids need a trip to a village in a third world country.

I would be in jail if one of my kids tweeted anything like that.
My crime: beating the living hell out of my kid.
Luckily my kids appreciate what we do for them. These kids may be little spoiled sh!ts but I honestly look around at other parents and wonder what the hell they are thinking when they let kids run around and do the things they do.

i'm really torn about this. While I do agree completely that these children are spoiled I think theres got to be something else behind these posts. Maybe i just have too much faith in humanity still, but I can't believe that theres this many spoiled brats out there, maybe these are follow up posts or sarcastic posts. I know a lot of stuff I post on facebook would look bad if you don't know me and how I am, but given my personality and rampant sarcasm.
Nope.
Sk8boardLee26 was quoted out of context and taking all sorts of crap.
mikaelatorixo's tweets include "Locking myself in my room and ignoring my parents for the rest of my life" and "i am going to punch my mom in the face , not even kidding"
Sarahhh194 deleted her tweets but the aftermath says she said that and worse.
I stopped checking after it wasn't funny anymore.
As I mentioned, that was the guy quoted out of context. He's ok.
In japan, we call twitter "the idiot detector".
I am not only surprised at how greedy and ungrateful these kids are, but also on how they can think it is ok to be publicly sharing these thoughts.
I sure hope their tweets will come back and bite them in their asses.
As for me, we don't even do Christmas anymore.
We are not Christian, we don't have kids, and we have work to do!

I don't know. It just looks like a language thing, to me. If a word or two were changed it'd be the same as any generation; all kids feel "entitled" to some degree, more for some kids, less for others, but they all want stuff and always have, no matter what they say about that now that they're older. 
"Dog gone it, no car for my b-day. Oh well, to heck with dad."
"Phooey, no private phone line of my own, again! Darn it! My parents are so square!"
..etc.
"Dog gone it, no car for my b-day. Oh well, to heck with dad."

I think it's the fact that they made these thoughts public to the world how their parents are horrible because they couldn't get them an iPhone. Do the kids not realize that we are in a recession here?I don't know. It just looks like a language thing, to me.

It's like my 10 year old niece telling her mom that she HAS to go to Dominican this year. They go EVERY YEAR and her mom cannot have the family NOT go this year as well. It's ONLY $5,000. Why is her mom being so cheap, it's only ONCE a year. So...she and the family are going to the Dominican in March.
I half blame the parents for the righteous mentality that these kids are growing up with. The parents put the thought into these kids head that anything they want...they get. If the parents can't deliver, well you see these type of twitters.

My generation:-
"Rats..didn't get that Raleigh Chopper I was promised.. hate my parents."
Current generation:-
"Rats..didn't get that Apple Ipad 2 I was promised.. hate my parents."
(colourful vulgar slang maybe added if desired)
...of course in my generation there was no Twitter to let the world know of my thoughts, just my school friends.

True Roze, family stuff, angst over parental disappointments, etc were not aired as readily a few generations ago as they are now by many kids.
I have mixed feelings about it, even the stuff up there in the OP. On the one hand, as I said before, it looks like language is the biggest difference from the past, not the overall expectations about what they should have received: the stuff they're saying is the same as before.
I remember a friend crying after she found out that her graduation gift (high school 1964) was a non-cashmere (but cashmere lookalike) sweater and not the gold cross pendant necklace she expected.
The whole school jabbered about it, along with Chuck's anger over not getting his expected new trumpet, Jerry's whining about getting a cheap plastic microscope instead of the fine scientific one he had his eye on, Dale's envy over anyone who got a car while all he got was a new surf board, etc etc etc. Ah, the memories.
And nothing has changed except for the language and the prizes.

Luckily, someone decided to make a song. It's hidden due to strong language.
