Angry fanboys are getting younger and younger these days. Fun Tech Talk is reporting that a thirteen year old South Carolina boy was picked up by Toys R Us security after it was discovered that he had written "PS3 Sucks" on twenty three plastic PS3 game security cases with indelible marker. The boy's parents couldn't be reached so he was put in the custody of child services (scary). When asked why he did it, the boy answered, "I have an Xbox and I hate Playstation. I found the marker lying on the shelf and I guess I was bored. Sorry."

This is rather scary.

"I hate playstation"?

I guess that kid doesn't have much in the way of ambitions or ideals if he puts that much energy into despising a GAMES CONSOLE..
Peace.
 
Assuming he have to pay for the 23 games he destroyed, and they cost 59$ each, he could have bought himself 1 PS3 at 499$, and 14 games for it..

hehehe, I wonder how long he'll keep his Xbox... :)
I hope the journalists will follow up on this, I'm curious if his parents might sell it, to pay for the damages.. :p
Maybe he gets a PS2 for his 14nth birthday again, if he behaves well.. *giggle*
 
So long as what this kid does contributes to giving consoles a bad image, it's all good :cool:

I say, give every PS3/Xpox hating child a marker and let them run freeeee! :eek:
 
How pathetic. This loyalty to consumer products phenomenon of the late 20th century and onwards never ceases to disgust me.
 
It kinda made me smile. Ofcourse its stupid but the kid is 13 years old, not really a excuse but didnt just about everyone do something really stupid when they were around that age/puberty?
 
Where were this problem child's parents, anyway? I'm willing to be they're the type that let him run around with a baseball bat reeking havoc on the interior of their household.

Apart from locking their pubertizing kid in a box 24 hours a day, what can a parent do to keep them from doing stupid things? You cant watch over them all the time.

Of course you can't. But my point was more along the lines of discipline in general. Any child that's well disciplined wouldn't go out and ruthlessly vanadalize things for the sheer sake of it.

Thats pretty much oversimplifying it. First, theres a difference between throwing rocks at cars on a highway, breaking things with a baseball bat and *gasp* writing something on a cheap box, not even the game-case itself. That guy may aswell be a spoiled, antiauthorian prick, but you cant conclude that from what you know.
And I know alot ppl with very strict and conservative parents that done worse things. I dont think I know anyone who dint steal some sweets from a supermarket just to proove something to themself or friends.

There are alot influences outside of the parents home too.

Absolutely. Everyone knows that person who was subject to strict parenting who ended up trailing off and doing whatever they pleased, but I was under the notion that the general consensus was people who were instilled with direction wouldn't just go out and do something like this. Who even knows anyway? For all we know this kid's parents may be the embodiment of what parenting should be, but he just wanted to be an attention whore for a few minutes.

Or perhaps he could buy an alcohol swab for 10 cents and wipe off the 23 boxes he wrote on.

About bloody time the world took notice! It is unknown how this trend got started, however, the utter and wanton destruction of three stores carrying Care Bears lunchboxes by enraged My Little Pony fans back in '84 is probably the earliest confirmed incident on record detailing toy-related violence carried out by the societal subgroup that has later been termed 'fanboys'.
 
I cannot even begin to explain how fucking tempted I am to move this to the Console Forum.
