He overreacted just a bit. How the fuck did he fetch 9k for it though?!

This is my favorite part I laughed my ass off.

Serves the kid right for not being more cautious with the pot.

ZEROpumpkins 12.17.2007 05:51 AM

Haha true, true.

It would be even funnier if the Barbie video game- in some remarkably childish psychological knock-on effect- turned his son gay.

LOL @ Conservatives

davenotdead 12.17.2007 12:31 PM

what gay aussie paid $9k for it? those poor technologically-starved miscreants...

The kid should sue, if his dad gave it to him then the dad stole it when he then took it away and sold it.

Oh wait, children are property. sorry I forget sometimes. Dad just ruined any relationship with his son.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 12.17.2007 12:54 PM

He didn't give it to him yet.

It isn't about whether pot is right or wrong to do. He broke his Dad's rules, and he got punished. Kid shouldn't be playing guitar hero anyways. He should be playing Rock Band instead.

wow, what crack are you smoking?

the dad is bound by law to provide food, shelter, clothing & parental guidance to the little shit, "property" or not.

he's under no obligation to give him pot money and say yes to everything the kid does.

if the kid wants to smoke weed that's his call, but he shouldn't expect the dad to be an enabler. little bitch should learn to deal with consequences.

besides, the dad bought the thing with his own money/labor. he can do whatever the fuck he wants-- that toy was his property.

i'd say if the kid has money for weed he can dip into his own pocket for toys. the spoiled cunt.

wow you sound real angry the kid was going to get something you weren't!

All I'm saying is its fucking cheesy for daddy to give his son a gift then take it back, and if his son was not under 18 years of age he would not be able to get away with it. Now, someone else said he hadn't yet actually given his son the game, in which case this whole point is moot.

and maybe they were smoking dad's stash - and thats why they really got in trouble. I didn't see that the article noted where the weed came from - did one of the friends' bring it?

!@#$%! 12.17.2007 03:50 PM

i'm not angry about the kid going to get something blah blah. that is nonsense.

i'm angry that you are not using your rational faculties to prevent yourself from spewing the occasional nonsense. as pointed above.

cheesy or not, parents have responsibilities towards their 15 year old kids-- end of story.

and yes, the point is moot, but the point was a bit cracked in the first place.

floatingslowly 12.17.2007 04:04 PM

for the record, I am angry that this kid was going to get GHIII and I wasn't.

  1. have a kid.
  2. figure out non-violent ways to control unwanted behavior.
  3. figure out new-non-violent methods because the first thing you thought of didn't work so well.
  4. ??????
  5. get back to us with yr findings.

True. But I played Rock Band at Best Buy and it was actually fun. Unlike Guitar Hero.

It's been here on Wii for ages. Perhaps it was Jamie Packer, crazy Scientologist and Australia's richest man.
