When it comes to cell phones, what's a pissed off mother with a shotgun and a axe supposed to do?

Well here's a mom that's had entirely enough of the influence that social media has had on her children, and who can blame her?

Uh-oh, this doesn't look good.

"I hereby denounce, the effects of social media, have on my children, their disobedience and their disrespect."  Wise words from a mother who's holding a shotgun pointed at two cell phones sitting on a stump while her shell shocked kids stand off to the side.

Yup, hope that the dog gets out of the way soon!

BOOM, off goes a shot and the cell phones fly into the air.

"Set 'em up" she exclaims while loading up for a second shot.

Looks like her daughter is a little bummed that her phone just got blown to smithereens while her wisecracking son is just as defiant as ever and uses the f-word.

"I refuse to be cursed.  I refuse to be disobeyed. I take back my role as parent."

BOOM!  That'll teach those electronic carriers of mind-numbing disease and transmitters of debauchery and decadence.

Towards the end of the video, while standing with an axe raised above what's left of the once glossy victims, the woman with the perfect Southern drawl says, "My children's lives are more important to me, than any electronic on earth."

"I refuse to have them influenced in negative ways. Contacting people they don't know. Being involved with drama they don't need to be in, and being in trouble in school for having phones out."

WHAM!  Down comes the axe.

Now if you've listened closely during mom's last speech, you would have heard one of the kids butt in with, Good for you we still don't give two f**ks."

So, it seems that mom has her work still cut out for her.  This younger generation, what are you gonna do?  Nothing like this ever happened when all we had was TV.  Or, did it?
