Irate father nails Xbox to tree - Joystiq

"After having "warned [their] 3 boys about their behavior while playing the Xbox," a rather vengeful father had decided to create folk art with the console (i.e. he nailed it to a tree), according to the mother's CNN iReport. In the comment section, the mother said the kids do not "totally hate dad ... There was a problem, and the problem was addressed properly."

Not to worry for the kids, however, as a replacement Xbox can be found on eBay for well under $40. In fact, the Xbox shown above can be found on the online auction site as well, with 50% of proceeds reportedly going to the local school system and 50% towards the children's college fund. So, now that we know it can be nailed ... will it blend?"

Can't tell you how many times I would have liked to do the same thing with my son's PC. Did you ever see those shirts "Instant A**hole just add alcohol"? The saying in our house for our son is "Instant A**hole just add Counter Strike".

$400 well spent >_>


If it were me, a good smack up-side their heads would have done just as well.

You misplaced a decimal.

He should buy them a pony and encourage them to play outside.

Until he gets pissy again and serves them mystery meat.

"Hey dad? ....where did the pony go?"

Hey now, I hear horse is supposed to be very lean. It's a delicacy in France you know.

No spanking, no grounding, no taking away the toy for awhile?

Sounds like serious over reaction to me.

I've eaten it. Back in the 70's some restuarants in the area were busted for serving it to unknowing customers. I've also eaten dog. Used to absolutely LOVE these HUGE burritos we got from the local Mexican restuarant. Went there one day and it was shut down. Then we read in the paper why. We laughed and called them Beagle Burritos. lol

He was Irate. Seems like those things didn't work.

That's what I understand as well. I was looking forward to trying it when I was there but my at the time girlfriend would have had none of me if I had. I had to settle for a friend telling me that it was pretty good but that it had a different texture than cow. /sigh


In hindsight, I should have eaten that horse steak, and got one to go as well.

If I was that man's son, I'd take his car and nail it to a tree. That'd show him!
