If You Put Something Inside the Internet, Why Can't I Look At It?

So the little Asian kid above must have gotten mad about me finding a video of him dancing to Nelly's "Hot In Herre" in his bedroom, so he's marked the video as "private" and now I can't watch it nonstop like I was planning. YouTube exists precisely to spread the accidental genius this kid stumbled into; now he's being a douchebag about it. Why?

I feel bad that many of you didn't see this yesterday, so to the best of my memory I'll recount to you the video's key details.

This little Asian kid is standing in front of his computer. He's wearing a navy suit, white shirt, and tie, and he has on one of those microphone headsets that Madonna used to wear. The video starts when he clicks play on what I assume is the video for Nelly's "Hot In Herre," the song kicks off, and in front of his web cam he starts rapping along with Nelly and doing a little two-step. He's furiously tugging at his suit coat but nothing has come off yet.

First verse is through, first run at the chorus, and then the jacket comes off. He's still rapping, but when he takes off the jacket he fumbles a little bit through the words and I'm not sure he's gonna make it. Then he takes off his tie--it is an actual tie, not a clip-on, and he can't be more than 10 or 11 so I find the real tie thing pretty impressive. There are a few curse words in the song and he says all of them.

The kid still has pants on but I am starting to wonder about his shirt--it's the second verse and, if he's not lying, his room is getting hot. To surprising effect, he doesn't take off his shirt--he loosens his belt. Then he snaps the belt off his waist, swirls it around in the air five times, then throws it off camera. He's rapping the whole time.

We're at minute 19, minute 20 or so now of this kid dancing to Nelly's "Hot in Herre." He starts working on the top button of his shirt, still rapping, and his two-step is a little more confident. And right as he's about to pop that first button, he freaks out "OH SHIT MY DAD'S COMING!!!!" and the video just stops.

Was the dad going to be (a) angry that his son was taking off his clothes to Nelly's "Hot in Herre"; (b) angry that his son was watching the video to Nelly's "Hot in Herre" but totally fine with the stripping stuff; (c) angry that his son was ripping off his dad's idea to strip to Nelly's "Hot in Herre" and post it on YouTube; (d) angry that he would have to reassemble his son's necktie?
