Dad Sells Son's Guitar Hero for More than $9000
 

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.

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

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.

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.

fuck guitar video games - PLAY GUITAR!!

yeah thats a whole separate issue...another generation programmed by the same corporate culture...

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?

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.

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.

i think its safe to say tesla didnt vote for Bush

I voted for Bush, but regretted my vote afterwards.

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

thats correct, along with the majority of the country..

uh, obviously they did or he wouldn't be president.
i'm not voting next year.

anyway this story cracked me up. "innocent little boy/delinquent friends" & "smoking dope"
ahaha

very true...except about that rock band thing. i'd rather play ddr and be proud of being a loser, instead of being a loser who looks even more like a loser by pretending to play a plastic guitar to a selection of shitty songs.

speaking of video games, i've been locked up in the house all day playing wii

Ditto.

Battalion Wars 2 is pretty entertaining.

super mario galaxy, simpsons game, & wii sports all day marathon
i have yet to break anything or injure myself playing wii tennis, but the fateful day will come soon.

i played this the other day
i dunno about everyone else but Parappa The Rapper is much cooler

wii sports are pretty addicting the first few days...i wanna play mario galaxy so bad

i'm inviting everyone over for an all night tournament just to see who gets injured first.

The pot-smoking and gift-retrieval are merely symptoms of underlying problems.

my dad would laugh at you.
then again, you should all be laughing at my dad for buying his 18 year old daughter a wii.

Depending on what I was smoking, I might be laughing back.

I don't there's anything funny about buying an offspring such a wonderful gift. I think it's fucking heartwarming.

wii is pretty fun no matter what age. mario is the shit.
then again, childishness does run in the family.

childishness is the greatest thing ever. also, i will own all of you in the baseball... i'll even hit lefty, and i am terribly right-handed, but damnit if im not an amazing lefty in wii baseball. ... you may get me in bowling. i need to work on that. i think im actually better in real life in the bowling department

i wish i was a little kid. then i wouldn't get harassed for having items of clothing and bedsheets with things like hello kitty, sesame street, felix, snoopy etc

Yeah, I didn't really like Super Mario Galaxy. I would have preferred something more like Super Mario Sunshine. That shit was fun.

But I'm breaking out Metroid Prime 3: Corruption tonight. The dude at the Blockbuster told me it was good. He better not have been lying.

yes.

that's the first step of critiquing that little drama on accurate grounds. the pot-smoking might not necessarily be "a problem", taking the presents away as a tit-for-tat is not necessarily a problem either-- it could be a simple everyday conflict of the many there are growing up. the problem is airing your family's private business in front of a worldwide audience under the pretext that you just made a killing on a resale.


whoever is standing next to my clumsy elbows, of course

there's now a chunk of my left canine floating around somewhere.






pardon my gross teeth.

that's gnarly, and by gnarly, I mean awesome.

you want to bet on that? 62 million people allegedly voted for Bush (lets assume there was no fraud). The population of the US is 300 million. My math shows thats about 21% of the population. 21% is not a majority, even with the Republicans in power!

Now if you meant a majority of people who actually voted, then you may be correct, but only by a very slim margin. There was no fucking mandate as the corporate press liked to repeat. Anyway they are both members of the same secret society so maybe it is more accurate to say Skull and Bones got the majority of votes in 2004.
