Why is everyone talking about the very un-noteworthy son ( teens doing drugs?!?!? ), and the very un-noteworthy father (tried to get a cool Christmas present, punished his teenage son fo doing drugs).......
.......
.......When someone payed $9,000 for one ****ing VIDEO GAME?

Yeah, thanks Wil. This is the thing that jumped out at me too.

Yeah sure, maybe your local stores will be sold out of the game. But the longest you would have to wait for them to restalk it would be, short term 2 weeks, long term at the VERY most like a month.

So this complete idiot, rather than wait around a month for the stores to get it in again, spent $9, 000 on the game??

What the ****?

I knew I could count on your outrage after all that "Wilhelm doesn't know the value of money if he bought a PS3." stuff.
How do you like me now?

Well he's in Australia, they probably don't have the game out in that region but still.... you could spend less than half of that to fly to North America have a nice vacation, buy it at Target and maybe some other can't get games and then fly back.

Do you think he's a complete nerd that sits there saying "mmm worth every penny!!"

You're right... a trip to another country to buy the game would have cost less. Maybe he's just THAT lazy.

And Wil... I always like you. You're my number one money waster!

who would buy it for 9 grand?? they must be either rich, or made the biggest mistake.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

He thought he was buying a real life Guitar Hero, like, Randy Rhodes.

Oh, and Randy Rhodes for $9k would be a bargain.

I checked eBay and not one auction was anywhere close to $1,000, let alone $9,000. It has to be a typo. I do find it funny though that all the Wii auctions overcount the number of games the system comes with, one had Wii with 38 games! It was Wii Sports (5), Wii Play (9) and Wii Carnival (25), that's three games, not 38, sadly gullible parents may actually believe the claim, I should buy Wario Ware, between that and Rayman, I could sell my Wii with hundreds of games!

Guitar Hero is not even that fun.

 

[PLAS]

Guitar Hero is not even that fun.

[the_ultimate_evil]

No?

I don't get why pot is such a bid deal in Canada of all places. Had it been coke, sure, but pot?

All this means is that his son will now completely refrain from talking to his dad about anything, and instead of an open and honest relationship, his son will now feel the need to hide his 'habits'.

Not good.
