Aren't we all taught when young not to put a plastic bag over your head? This clown was telling a kid to and showed him how it was all good to do this.

Sentencing is scheduled for this afternoon for Darrion Scott, the former Minnesota Viking who admitted to putting a plastic dry cleaning bag over his 2-year-old son's head.
Scott, 26, entered the plea in Hennepin County District Court on July 7, the day that jury selection was scheduled to begin for felony third-degree assault and domestic assault by strangulation following the April 28 incident at his Eden Prairie townhouse.
Those charges were dropped in return for Scott's admission to child endangerment. The gross misdemeanor carries a penalty of up to a year in prison, and prosecutors say it is unlikely that he will serve any jail time.
According to the criminal complaint, the boy's mother found Scott, 6 feet 3 inches tall and 290 pounds, holding the bag over the boy's head.
In his statement, Scott, who was a defensive lineman for the Vikings, said he was attempting to entertain the boy by putting the bag on his own head while dancing and pretending to be the "boogeyman."
When the toddler became upset, Scott said he took the bag off his own head and placed it on his son's head to show that it wouldn't hurt him.
When the boy became even more upset, Scott said he tried to take the bag off but it became hooked on his son's chin. He claimed he was holding the struggling boy down to get the bag off when his mother entered the room.
"There is no question in my mind that what I did was stupid and reckless," Scott said.
Scott was a third-round pick in the 2004 draft out of Ohio State. He played in 48 games with the Vikings. He is a free agent and led the team in sacks in 2006.
