'Facebook Parenting' parodies take on trigger-happy dad
The video of Tommy Jordan, the gun-toting North Carolina dad who shot up his daughter's laptop, is closing in on 30 million viewers on YouTube since its initial upload in early February. The hard-core parenting primer has also inspired a slew of parodies, including a cartoon spoof and a video by comedian David Cho that offers advice for parenting "the Korean teen" -- both of which have made Mashable's top-five list in this quirky category.
There's even a conspiracy theory in the mix that claims the original video was a hoax, to which one commenter replies, "It wouldn't surprise me if TJ got a reality show out of this. It beats having 8 babies or hiding your son in a weather balloon."
