9 year old builds elaborate arcade from cardboard, gets flashmobbed.

Why are there so many video players out there that still can't tell you how long a video is?

Youth + innocent + imagination + smart = win.

the most impressive part is people showed up in east LA.

I think Dave & Busters could learn a thing or 2 from his pricing

$1 = 4 plays
$2 = 500 plays

 

[Sho'Nuff]

Awesome. Proof that: a) kids are amazing; and b) there are still good people in the world.

Thought "Yeah, pretty cool" at first but when he crawled into the box to spit out the tickets and everything that came after I got misty eyed. Great video.

Those damn hipsters and their love for spreading joy, makes me wanna puke a rainbow.

 

[AlienCraft]

Well, great. Now I don't hate humanity anymore... for today at least.

Seeing the smile on his face = priceless.

Smile on millions of viewers = pricelesser

 

[Lyfer]

Well, great. Now I don't hate humanity anymore... for today at least.

My thoughts exactly.

let me help you with that.

so the dad let's him run this "arcade" right in the store? i guess customers feel like they HAVE to play so they don't end up looking like a douche if they ignored the kid. kinda like when a cashier asks do you want to donate a dollar to <insert good cause> Foundation. you know you really don't want to, but do it anyway to avoid looking like a cheap, soulless dbag.

 

[SandEagle]

i'm kidding, btw. ^


way to go Caine. don't blow that scholarship money on drugs or community college.

Just found this:

The cardboard-cutting days are over for that kid from the viral 'Caine's Arcade' video -- because TMZ has learned, he's finally getting a real-life arcade game ... worth upwards of $4,000.

In case you haven't seen the video (below) -- a 9-year-old kid named Caine Monroy built an entire arcade at his dad's L.A. auto shop last summer ... using nothing but cardboard left over from his dad's stockroom.

Never read youtube comments, they can only make you dumber.

Touching story -

What a great kid!

Surprised the "Lemonade Stand" police did not shut him down for running an illegal gambling operation!

I'm actually hoping I remember to watch this when I get home.
