      I remember similar things happening last year, and the year before. Entire hard-to-get consoles ended up sold and in the newspapers because of destructive etc children.

      Much mirth resulted.

        I love the father's assertion that his son will still get a game for Christmas, but its going to be "Barbie Island Princess".

          I will not shove “it” up my backside. I do not know what “it” is, but in my many years on this earth I have figured out that that particular port hole is best reserved for emergency exit only. -GK

            Good for Dad- getting punished thoroughly for sloppy technique in recreational drug concealment might save Junior from arrest later in life

            Disclaimer: Saydrah does not approve of said recreational drug. It is smelly.

              And if the kid ever gets his act together, that;s college money in the bank.

                Ha! That's epic! I don't know how well it'll work as punishment, but it made the guy 9 grand!

                  Considering it made national news, it'll probably teach the kid a lesson. At the very least, it'll get his attention...
                  Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

                    I do recall hearing of another parent who sold their child's PS3 right after Christmas last because of bad grades.

                      That kid better be thankful for whatever he gets for Christmas, even if it's Barbie's Fantasy Island Yacht.....it's better than a kick in the ass and a day in jail!
