oh jeez that kids dad just pwned him. What a dumb *** that kid is. If your parents dont want you to drink why would you take ther stash? Seriously.... I donno I was raised very differentley I'm jewish so I was drinking since I was little and alchohol thankfully never seemed like the holy grail of fun same with drugs. I will on the other hand have an occasional beer. But, for some people they use drinking as a way to escape. I also will never d and d.

Only a parent of a young teenager can truly appreciate that! :D That is going to be bookmarked and saved for viewing offline by me and both my sons are going to get the priviledge of seeing it. Thanks!
How pathetic. This story is meaningless and does nothing for the kid to teach him a lesson. He's 13 years old, he lies, breaks a bugle, and gets drunk with his friends by drinking beer and an expensive bottle of wine. Yet the parents punish him by way of being out money, and the fact that he lied, not the fact that he's 13 years old and heading down the wrong path. What a spoiled punk. Talk about not getting punished enough. Notice the games are not for sale. He'll do chores, apologize out his ***, and for his next birthday he'll get another ps2. In fact, right now he's probably at his friend's house with his stash of 100+ ps2 games enjoying it right now. If that was me at 13, I'd have been in much bigger **** then that. Of course the last thing I want to do is tell someone how to raise their kid, but this kid got off easy, and the fact that the parents made it about money as much as lying and underage drinking tells a storyline right there. I guess I'm old school, because where I came from that would not have been about money at all.

That's pretty much exactly what I thought when I read that ad too... like these idiot parents are totally missing the point. I suppose if the champagne had been Ripple they wouldn't have been too bothered.

it's called "l33t" or elite speak...it's geek language...if you spend enough time online, and i mean TOO MUCH time chatting with the hacking/warez community you start to type in alphanumerics and add a 0rz to the end of things like hax0rz (hacks)...don't ask me why, i find it rediculous, too hard to type out, too hard to read but if black people have ebonics, i guess geeks can have l33t
still not as cool as the dude who sold his ex's wedding dress.
would have been funnier if he sold the system and all the games for $1 buy it now option.

inntentional mis-type (hit p instead of o... they're beside each other, genius :p)... just like the 3 for the e: they look the same and if you're typing as fast as humanly possibly you're bound to reach too far by accident some of the time. the !!!!!11111!!11!!!1!! are just for kicks and giggles.

My first thought too. My dad would have had my PS2 (not that we HAD such a thing) in the trash w/ all the games beside it. And that would be before the hard labor and solitary confinement.

It wasn't about money, it was about that fact that the PS2 was the only thing the kid seems to value. Since he destroyed things that his parents valued, it was the one way of letting him know what it's like to be on the receiving end.
Not to say that the punishment shouldn't have been tougher.
Kid: "Hey Mom, I found the can opener on the floor in my bedroom."
Mom: "Oh yeah... That's what I used to open a can of whoop-***. Get the h*** over here, boy!"
How the hell do you get to be 6'3" at 13 years old ???
OK. Am I the only one who's curious as to what the fock the kid was doing opening a bottle of Dom with a fuggin corkscrew?
Screw the fact that he pissed daddy off. Someone should have had more control. What I'm concerned about here is that his parents have obviously taught him nothing about drinking if he's opening champagne (or any sparkling wine) with a motherfuggin corkscrew!!
