Sorry Isaac, but it's your fault!

Imagine this: You're the father of a 15 year old and Christmas is coming. Your kid wants, since it was launched, Guitar Hero 3. You want to make your son happy. So you go shopping, you don't find it, you keep searching and you lose precious hours. But you finally buy it and start heading home, tired but happy. And that's the exact time when you see your 15 years old son smoking pot in the backyard. What are you going to do?

Well... here's a suggestion: give him a lesson! That's what an unhappy parent did (yes, the little story you just read is quite real),
by placing the brand new and hard to get Guitar Hero 3 on eBay.Here are some great quotes from Dad:

"So I was so relieved in that I had finally got the Holy Grail of Xmas presents pretty much just in the nick of time. I couldn't wait to spread the jubilation to my son. Then, yesterday, I came home from work early and what do I find? My innocent little boy smoking pot in the backyard with 2 of his delinquent friends."

"I thought I could still justify getting him this present. Maybe it would make him stay home more and 'rock out' on this fake guitar thing. He pretty much spends all his free time at his friend's house playing it anyways (while high on marijuana, I would imagine"

"After I caught him getting high on my patio I did the typical yelling, screaming, kicking out the friends, etc… but I had not decided on a suitable way to punish him. As of the time of me writing this, he does not know I got him Guitar Hero 3. I will show him the auction once it is posted and we can watch it finish together. Sort of a "'Father-Son bonding experience'"

Dad's words are indeed very funny, but most definitely it wasn't for the fun's sake the reason he did it. It is, actually, a great message for teenagers all over the world: don't smoke pot, or your parents might start selling out your long awaited games. Play "be a rock star" game, but live your own life. At least while you still live with your parents!

"I am still considering getting him a game for his Nintendo. Maybe something like Barbie as the Island Princess or Dancing With the Stars. These games are in stock everywhere I go, and I know he will just love them," Dad ends his statement. Thumbs up, Dad!

Dear Redoctane and Neversoft, I think your company should make a game called drum hero.I think the game would sell well and would be more challenging than guitar hero. Keigan Hoyt

Wow people neeed to take there heads out of there asses.. Your son is 15 and smoking pot on ur patio... Yeah he shouldnt be doing it but better pot then a real drug. U should explain to your kid and show him the other drugs and how badly they fuck up ur life.. I grew up with it my dad a crack head and now hes in jail.. Your better off haveing ur kid smoke on ur property instead of behind your neighbors house and have them call the cops on your kid and now hes real fucked. You might want to think before you punish your kid. IF you do that then you have him sneaking out and shit and wanting to try and sneak shit behind you and now hewont tell you anything. My point is if your kid is smoking weed u should be thankful that thats all and that hes not poping x in class like i see kids do.
