Now this kid is really lacking a good beating!

The story is BS people. It is Onion like bigtime.

i can't believe any of you guys thought this was true.

Unlimited wishes till the day he dies...

Am I the only one thinking about a solution?

Seriously, takinga dvantage of something like the Make a wish foundation? The nerve of that little cretin.

The dude in charge needs to wise up... as we say around here, God tells us to be good, not dumb.

It's a hoax. You might want to check your facts before you post stories like this as true.
Make-a-wish is a wonderful organization and the people who are responsible for this are nothing but a-holes. A child with leukemia as the subject of a joke?? WTF?

True. For one thing, you can't decommission an F-14 Tomcat from Afghanistan, because all of the F-14s in the US inventory were decommissioned years ago!

The expressions on that woman's face, though...gawd that called for a few beers.

On one hand it was sort of funny but, I was a bit more disgusted than anything.

Since nobody cares to open my link I am gonna quote

"We have received inquiries from supporters about an Internet video that depicts a fictional news broadcast, “Today Now!” The video includes a report about a “wish kid” whose wish for unlimited wishes has put the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s future in jeopardy. The “Today Now!” segment is not true and all characters, including wish child “Chad,” are fictitious. The video was produced by The Onion, which is well-known for using satire to parody news events. Rest assured, the Make-A-Wish Foundation is financially sound thanks to its many generous donors. Also, the Foundation will not grant “unlimited wishes” to a wish child. The policy is clear: We grant the one true wish of each eligible child with a life-threatening medical condition. We appreciate your support for the Make-A-Wish mission and the thousands of courageous children we serve. Please refer anyone with questions about the video or chain letters to this page."

I opened it, but I suspected it was a hoax when it was stated that the kid "...wished away our legal team".

Watched the video and knew half way through. Can't believe that some of you believed it was true. I lol.

Heck, I'm used to about anything happening in the US

You know, these days you are about right on that one. To be honest, when I first saw the video I thought it was fake but, I had to consider the possibility it could be real due to the stupid stuff that happens in the US all the time.
