Turning Your Kids Into The Product

The video critically examines the extreme and often inauthentic lifestyles promoted by influencers, using a Malaysian influencer’s wedding preparation as a case study. It highlights the absurdity of lavish displays, such as a massive drawer full of luxury items and a staff of maids, questioning the real value of such wealth. The segment then shifts to a satirical critique of influencer content, exposing a fabricated early-morning wake-up routine in a Thailand-based video—mathematically disproved by sunrise times. A major point of controversy is the promotion of a highly expensive, medically supervised hair detangling service involving anesthesia, which the creator presents as a dystopian exaggeration, contrasting it with the lack of anesthesia for common medical procedures. The video further critiques the influencer economy, where authenticity is sacrificed for views, and mocks trends like lemon-themed products and bizarre parenting routines. It argues that these behaviors reflect a deeper societal obsession with image and performance. The content also subtly promotes Propel Fitness Water as a wellness solution, blending product placement with social critique. Ultimately, the video serves as a satirical and critical commentary on the excesses of influencer culture, urging audiences to question the truth behind viral content and the rise of performative normalcy in modern life.

Propel Fitness Water with Gatorade Electrolytes, Zero Sugar, and Vitamins. Propel hydrates better than water to help you get the most out of your workout and get back to your best self. What propels you? Propel with Gatorade Electrolytes. Come with me to dispose the dead body because I'm low-key a little nervous, like I've never done this before, you know? The way I ran to tell you this, I'm committing tax evasion. Get ready with me for my grandma's funeral. I am having a divorce. What is wrong for this video while I'm- Okay, you guys, run. Don't run because a job ever- No, because literally, why am I- Might be an unpopular opinion, but modern weddings are a nightmare. But what about an influencer modern wedding? It is as unrealistic and unfathomable as you think it is. Let me introduce you to Sien- I'm not even gonna bother pronouncing her name because I'm just gonna butcher it. But Sien-Emma is one of the Malaysia's wealthiest influencers. And she got invited to a wedding recently. And she posted a video of like, hey, get ready with me while I prepare for this wedding. And I thought this was like I was watching a princess from Disney getting ready. Did anyone see her son looking at her there with a mask? Mommy, what's going on? Why did you turn into a cyborg? How many maids does she have? A maid for her mask? Okay. Oh my god. Okay. Why don't you get the maid to do that for you? You know, like why get titled using your- Why would you want to use your hands? It's $20. It's $20. And if you're using your hands to do your own makeup, then you're just poor. I'm sorry. Look at me poor, showing up. One of the wealthiest influencers in Malaysia. Imagine she watches this video and she's like, you know what? He's right though. Why the fuck am I using my hands? Maid, do my makeup real quick. Damn, the maids watching this video will hate me. Okay, I don't even know what she's doing. Oh my god. This drawer right here alone, it's probably worth enough to buy like a couple of houses in the US. And then the bag collection? What car is that? Holy shit. Someone said money can't buy happiness. What is this? What kind of wealth is this? Wealth pro max. When I first watched this video, I honestly thought that, oh, she's getting married. You know, I thought this was her own wedding. But in the caption, it says wedding guest mode on. If this is just her preparing for someone else's wedding, how crazy do you think her own wedding was? But did you notice the promotion? Yes, there was an ad hidden in this video without her saying a single word. I personally did not notice until I saw paid partnership. But paid partnership, girl with who? I mean, she does say hashtag skin-tific. And it was this part. Right here, when she opened the drawer, this was an ad. Even when you're getting ready for your friends, whoever invited her to their wedding, she still has to do a pro. I mean, I guess that's how she got rich. I don't know. But her TikTok is actually insane. The lifestyle that this girl is living. To be one of Malaysia's top wealthy influencer. I want to ask you a personal question and we're going to get a little personal. Let me get close to you. So, well, have you ever had, like, tangled hair and you're like, oh, my God, I wish there was, like, an easier way to detangle my hair? Actually, I'm going to get back away a little bit because you could see my pores there. And that looked a little nasty. I'm sorry. And you were in luck because a new way just dropped to detangle your hair. Easy as hell. What if you could fly to a different state and book a hair salon and have that hair salon book a doctor so the doctor could use anesthesia to put you to sleep while the hair salon detangles your hair? Well, that's what we're going to be talking about in this video. I'm going to give you a little bit of an overview of what this is going to look like. And this was a completely free service offered by Tone Hair Salon and Gia Cosmetics with Dr. Jindal. That's the doctor there. And the anesthesiologist. We safely put her under twilight anesthesia. And she was under for just about an hour and a half-ish, a little less. Now, something like this would have typically taken us at least three hours in the salon. And we didn't have to stop or take breaks. But more importantly, the client wasn't in any discomfort, no pain. And she was able to wake up. And her hair was fully. Are you hearing yourself right now? You're talking about anesthesia. Actual anesthesia to put you to sleep because your hair was tangled. And I'm not trying to judge the woman who actually did this, but this kind of sounds wild. To fly to a different state, hire a doctor and an anesthesiologist? What do you call those people? To put you to sleep just to detangle your hair? If this doesn't scream Amer. I'm sorry. I know. I love America. I am a proud USA. I'm a citizen. Look at this American badass right here. But this is some dystopian shit. This is like George Orwell's book, 1984. There was a team of four of us, plus an assistant helping out. We were definitely going to start doing more of these, but it was a lot. This was definitely different than something we've ever done, especially being hairstylists, but. Me also crying when I know I'm about to make bank from this. Money. I want everybody to know that this was done under a medical team. And we were there simply to de-mat the hair, while the doctors and anesthesiologists took care of everything. There are so many reasons that somebody's hair can get matted. But we don't care. We don't judge, and it's not about that. We're here to simply de-mat the hair and make the client as comfortable as possible. But where's the doctor? And if you guys don't know, Becky actually came to us a year and a half ago for a de-matting, so she's now been on both ends. After we fully de-matted her. Not a single doctor inside, by the way. Allegedly. All I'm seeing is TikTok cameras everywhere for you to record them. And the four people that work in the hair salon there, detailing your hair. And she says the doctor, by the way, and the anesthesiologist, they were in the room. Maybe not the same room that we're recording this video, but they were, like, observing from different rooms because we had cameras. A year and a half ago for a de-matting, so she's now been on both ends. After we fully de-matted her, started to wash her. You guys stay tuned for the next video. And show her the results. Someone said, "I think it's wild that you could be sedated for a hair de-tangling, but not sedated for an EUD insertion." And I didn't even know what that was. By the way, I looked it up and I feel so bad for all my female viewers out there that you actually don't go under anesthesia for that shit. But, uh, for your hair, when they get de-tangled. This was wild. Do people just think there's, like, no risk with going under any anesthesia? Girl, this was an emergency situation. The girl flew from a different state because her hair was that bad. Yes, it's dangerous, but also it was required for this situation. And I'm reading the entire comment section and I feel bad that 90% of these comments are about the IUD insertion. That they don't use anesthesia for that, but they use anesthesia for this. And did you hear how she said, "This was a completely free service." Now, why do you think this was for free, right? Well, this was a promo! This was a promo for a new service. This was a service that they're launching and it's the sedation de-matting. So, if you ever had to get, like, de-tangled hair, why would you want to wait at the salon for, like, two hours or three hours and whatnot when you can be put under anesthesia? And you can do this in an hour, an hour and a half, maybe two. You know? What? How much is this? About $2,000 to $3,000. Depends. That doesn't include the flight tickets. So, yeah, like a good $3,000 to $4,000. You know, everyone can do that. At the end of the day, though, I don't really know how bad it is. I don't know how bad her hair situation was and if it was actually that bad and it was really done under a doctor's supervision, then please ignore everything that I just said for the past couple of minutes. I am genuinely happy that she actually got the help that she needed. But the influencer bubble knows no limits. Does anyone remember that dude who started those "how I start my day at 3 a.m. or at 2 a.m." and he was getting millions of views? And then he was immediately exposed for faking his videos? And that's when all the influencers started jumping into this shit. Like, oh, how I start my day at 2 a.m. or how I start my day at 3 a.m. These numbers were getting crazy absurd, by the way. There were even people that were starting it at 1 a.m. Really? And the one that I'm about to show you starts at 4 a.m. So let's see how she starts her relatable morning. 3:59. Wow. Not even 4 o'clock or like 3:58. 3:59 on the dot. 4 o'clock. 4:30. Oh, okay. *slurp* *slurp* She's making a latte? Oh, a matcha. Obviously a matcha. Doing the laundry at 4:30? Can't relate. Now she's making. Now she's making. Pancakes, I'm gonna assume. *slurp* yeah pancakes okay for a second i thought those were passports like she was putting passports in her kids food or some shit so her kids wake up at 6 15 what kind of bed is that what is this table is this like a this that's for dolls what does this look like one of those tables for where kids play with their dolls you know oh my god the beige aesthetic everything looks beige no colors a lot i'm surprised that she she allowed this damn yellow over here why does this house look so fake thanks you're welcome okay she has three kids i think i don't i don't think your kid who's probably six or seven years old hold up six or seven years old six seven i don't think your kid who's probably six or seven years old needs a face mask or needs a skincare anti-wrinkle cream moisturizer i mean moisturizer is good if it was a moisturizer you know what yeah that's fine but at the end of the day he is still six years old why are you oh even the daughter why are you i'm gonna have the banana ice cream so they go to school at 7 20. all right how many of you missed it you probably thought this was like a normal routine that she started 3 59 a.m well propel fitness water with gatorade electrolytes zero sugar and vitamins propel hydrates better than water to help you get the most out of your workout and get back to your best self what propels you propel with gatorade electrolytes i'm gonna clock her ass notice how at four o'clock the blinds are closed so she doesn't show us what's outside right i can't pay attention to my own life but i was paying attention to this i was looking at her electric kettle and i'm like oh that's a nice looking electric kettle and then i was paying attention to the electric kettle a little too much and zoom in there zoom in keep zooming what do you see here that is the sky looking blue and this is 4 38 a.m and at 4 43 a.m she does this mistake at showing us the back and you can see that it's daytime 4 43 a.m should be blackout you can't see shit outside because it's dark over here it looks like it's could be 6 a.m maybe 7 a.m still over here close the shades so she doesn't show us what's outside but you can see it from the reflection future lazy here and i wanted to prove that my theory wasn't just a theory and it was in fact the reality so my mission was to find out what time do you see the sunrise where she lives and it isn't actually hard to do this at all because she really doesn't say where she lives all i had to do was watch a couple of her instagram videos and then pause where she was showing us that she was going to this coffee place i looked up the coffee place where she went to and apparently this was in thailand and i'm not gonna dox the city where she lives and then i went to timeanddate.com which is a website that shows you the sunrise and sunset for every single place in the world city country it is very specific so i put her city in here and obviously i'm gonna blur it out and we're gonna look up february 2025 because she posted this video february 28 2025 and i'm just gonna assume that she shot this on the 27th or even the 26th and the sunrise doesn't even start at 6 34 or 6 33 and even the civil twilight when you can see some sort of light out there starts at the earliest 6 12 for both dates so she was actually lying about this entire video allegedly so there's this weird crazy obsession going on of telling people that you woke up early so people feel bad then they wake up late i i that's what i'm assuming is happening here i'm trapped in a pipe hey guys i wake up at 3 59 not four because that's that's too late for my you might as well be a lazy fat ass if you wake up at 4 a.m because personally i wake up at 3 59 at 59 seconds so 3 59 people are miserable waking up at 6 a.m and they hate it how did waking up early as hell become a and this next one woke up at 5 55 5 55 do you understand how late that is i usually wake up at like 11 30 p.m from the previous night 5 55 a.m what are y'all doing at 5 55 a.m i'm probably going to sleep because my day is over this is how the video starts by the way look at these kids that looks so sad what are we doing to kids they look miserable look at this mommy can i go back to bed now why do the kids need all of those oh black toothbrush is that for the kids what are we doing oh okay they're having fun i guess did she get an amazon delivery at 7 a.m where are we going to school oh they're just going to eat they did all that dressing up all that preparing just so they could uh go eat breakfast at whatever hotel they are you have to wake up early for hotels by the way because i hate that they have this oh breakfast is between four to five a.m is that because of the influencers like because they're waking up that early and they're like yeah only those people can make it like imagine doing all that prep where louis vuitton because you're going to eat breakfast and on the topic on eating breakfast have y'all ever thought about eating a duck because right now a duck is sounding really good how about a duck bedtime routine i can't believe we are living in crazy times because i honestly
