Son's Punishment is Profitable

Posted by Miss Cellania in Toy & Video Games on December 18, 2007 at 9:18 pm


150_guitar-hero-3-wii-aAn unidentified father was proud of himself when he scored a hard-to-find Wii Guitar Hero game, just what his 15-year-old son wanted most for Christmas. When he came home from shopping, he caught his son smoking pot in the backyard with friends. It made the father so angry that he auctioned off the Guitar Hero game on eBay. How much did the $90 game sell for? A cool $9,100!

The naughty son, however, will not go without a present on Christmas.

“I am still considering getting him a game for his Nintendo. Maybe something like Barbie as the Island Princess or Dancing with the Stars … I know he will just love them,” the father said, tongue-in-cheek.

    I don't understand why he got so much money for the game. I wasn't aware that the wii GH3 bundle was that hard to get.

    And if that's the case, I should have bought the copy that came through my store.

    What a dick father to do all of that for finding his son smoking pot. Ridiculous.

    I'll believe it when he posts anything to say that he actually got paid.

    Idiots bidding with no intention of paying on ebay is hardly new.

    "...for the Nintendo Wii gameboard." Gameboard?! Is that what they call them in Canada?

    The little stoner got what he deserved. Kudos for the old man for profiting on his son's loss.

    Marijuana isn't a drug.

    Good for dad. I'm sick of parents that can't be bothered to discipline their kids. If he actually collects on that auction, even better. He'll have a great contribution to the kid's college fund.

    College, where all that pot-smoking will REALLY pay off! Ahhhh, the Circle of Life.

    The father sounds like a sociopathic little man. The poor son learned nothing about the potential dangers of drug use, or the moral consequences of disobeying one's elders. Instead, he was taught that love is conditional, and that malicious, vindictive revenge is a parental teaching tool. Oh, he's probably not yet consciously aware of the new lessons he picked up from Daddy Dearest. But just wait until he has a child of his own who errs in some way. I could just see him doing something similarly vindictive, like ripping up his child's school yearbook, or "accidentally" dropping his child's music-player or phone into the bathtub or a pot of water or something.
