This is "Real Life" David"David After Dentist" Top YouTube Video of 2009

With the end of the year seemingly just around the corner, the “Top ___ of 2009″ lists are making their rounds across the web. One particular list that caught my eye was YouTube’s list of their top five video’s of 2009.

I wasn’t surprised to see Susan Boyle in the number one spot. Her angelic voice, disguised by her frazzled appearance, attracted over 120 million views of her performance of Les Miserables’ “I Dreamed a Dream” on “Britain’s Got Talent”. I remember trying my hardest to hold back the tears, when I watched the video for the first time. Her story reaffirms that old saying “You Can’t Judge a Book By Its Cover”.

The video that took the number two spot sparked a wave of laughter, and controversy at the same time. “David After Dentist” started out as an innocent video taken by his father and posted to YouTube for family viewing, after seven year old David DeVore has a dental appointment to remove a tooth. Why would anyone care to watch a video of a child after a dental visit? Well, poor little David was given a sedative before his appointment, that seemed to cause some very hilarious after affects, which attracted 37 million views on YouTube. The video, albeit very funny, didn’t escape a load of criticism accusing his father of exploiting a very personal and vulnerable time for his young son.When I saw the video, I thought of my own child, and how I would feel if she was in David’s position. I even preemptively made the decision to decline a prescribed sedative, if she requires extensive dental work. When asked if you would reconsider the use of a sedative for your child’s dental appointment, after viewing “David After Dentist”, 53% of you said “No; I would give my child the prescribed medication for the dental appointment”. Would you post a video of your child on YouTube, after their appointment? That question remain to be seen.
