Comments about ‘'Embarrassing' waving dad has gone viral’

Amazing how those Emails, Twitters and Facebook can spread like wildfire for the fun. Your famous!

What a cool Father!

How is this guy cool? Using his son to get attention? Love doesn't purposefully embarrass. I think the son didn't need dad to stand on the sidewalk in a wedding dress waiting for a group of spectators to see it to feel his love. Just tell him you love him and goodbye. Who needed the audience?

I think the news media owes this father an apology for their portraying him as a father trying to punish his son with embarrassment. What a parent often times does for their child the children often construe it as an embarrassment. I'd bet that most every child who seen this kind of attention the son was getting would be happy to trade it for all they know.

I think the son finally got what the father was trying to tell him, life is not embarrassing, it is a trek and memory maker.

The news media should not treat this in a more positive story and keep the term punishment out of the article.

@K - If you'd read any of the other articles about this guy, you'd know that he and his son have a good relationship, but he wanted to do something extra special. And, contrary to some article headlines, the son has said that while he was embarrassed at first, he and everyone on the bus started to enjoy it after a while.

I do agree with you that simple gestures are important, and need to be done constantly. But I think what this father did for his son is something special that they, and everyone who saw him do it, will remember for years to come.

I think that this guy is a riot! If my dad did this, I would definitely be embarassed at first, then when I saw how much other people enjoyed it, my attitude would definitely change. I think it's very funny. What an imagination.

More notariety for a bully. What a shame we're raising generations of people who think it's OK to bully and embarrass, as long as it's done in 'jest'. What in the world have we become today?

Whatever happened to this guy's leg??? Has anybody bothered to ask him that???

This story is the best of the Year.

More Dad's should be like this guy!
