It's been two weeks since North Carolina dad Tommy Jordan uploaded his now-infamous YouTube video, "Facebook Parenting: For the troubled teen." To say the eight-minute diatribe punctuated by the execution of a laptop via .45-caliber pistol has gone viral since then would be putting it mildly.
The video now has more than 28 million views, and peaked the day after it was uploaded with 11 million on that Friday alone, according to YouTube. In its first week up, Jordan's video got some 215,000 comments and spawned more than 1,000 additional uploads tagged "facebook parenting."
Many of the responses were simply people opining into webcams, but some solid parodies emerged as well. In one, an actor gives a spot-on impersonation of Jordan as he and daughter Hanna spiral ever downward in a cycle of bitter retribution. In another, a woman who says she supports Jordan's parenting methods offers a spoof as tribute. And there's a cartoon version, too, of course.
In the gallery above, we pick our top five "Facebook Parenting" parodies. And for the few who no idea what this post is about, here's the rundown: Jordan's daughter wrote a nasty Facebook note about her parents, which she thought she hid from them with privacy controls. Jordan found it when uploading photos to the family dog's profile. He took exception. He taped a rebuttal in which he read the entire note aloud and addressed some of its key points. He finished the video by shooting nine hollow-point rounds into the laptop. He posted it to YouTube. Then the Internet took over.
