Nope ... guess the kids won't be playing anything on that XBox again... and neither will the XBox.

I hope it was the father who initially paid for that XBox, 'cause if the kids bought it then destroying it was uncalled for.

Seems like something my dad would do. He hates all video games and has confiscate my Wii.

Anyways, I think a more mature solution would be to take it away from the kids for a while, not nail it to a tree.

Meh it was a retro Xbox any way. Now they have an excuse to upgrade. These kids should consider this a blessing in disguise.

[Modus Ponens]

Better the Xbox than the kids.

Better the Xbox than the kids.

Or a kid-shaped-XBox...?

He nailed an XBox to a tree?!

I didn't know there were trees THAT big!

[Cloral]

*Rimshot*

[Modus Ponens]

Yeah, right—more like "nailed a tree to an Xbox".

[Dann Woolf]

Nailing an Xbox to a tree? Mo' like nailing an Xbox to a forest!

Damn, I'm on a roll today.

duuuuude...

And I thought my one year ban was bad...:(

[Dann Woolf]

I'm glad the dad didn't throw it out of a window or something.

One Grand Canyon is enough.

...*sigh* I'm trying to convince my parents to start putting limits on my siblings Wii time, because they were always anti-video game, and I can see it chafing how it's taken over the kids lives. If they don't start regulating, it will eventually build, burst, and result in this.

Exactly! Why be a good parent and stop things before they start, when you can let things get out of control, overreact, and get on the news?
