Father Sells Son's 'Guitar Hero' Christmas Gift On eBay After Son Is Caught With Marijuana - Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Wii) News at JustPressPlay - Game, Movie & Music Reviews

Nothing says the holiday season like a parent punishing his child for being an idiot. These lessons taught via eBay are becoming pretty common nowadays, but they still serve as a great example for kids who decide to test their parents limits around the holidays.
Here's the story posted in the additional information box straight from the father (who goes by the eBay tag "k_lid"):
"So I spent who knows how many hours of my life trying to get Guitar Hero 3 for the Nintendo Wii for my 15 year old son who has been begging for it since he was born (well not really but he’s wanted it for awhile). So after waiting in lines and going into every game store in the city over the last [two] weeks (practically being laughed at when I asked for Guitar Hero 3) I finally got lucky and got one at EB Games (they just got a shipment of them 25 minutes before I walked in!).

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 jubilance to my son.

Then, yesterday, I came home from work early and what to I find? My innocent little boy smoking pot in the backyard with [two] of his delinquent friends.

Now I know santa applies the “naughty or nice” paradigm to determine who gets what on Christmas. My son (Isaac) hasn’t exactly been Mother Teresa this year (he got suspended for fighting in the spring, among other things) but 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).

Anyways, I am now finding it hard to justify rewarding him with this gift after he so greatly disappointed me. I know smoking a joint isn’t the end of the world, but if you can convince me that he deserves the gift, then I will end the auction. You will have to be very convincing. I am an elementary school teacher and I know that rewarding bad behavior is just asking for more of the same…

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”. While I doubt this will keep him from ever smoking pot again, I think it will make him think twice before doing illegal (well I think pot is still illegal in Canada) drugs on my property.

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.

Merry Xmas Isaac. I hope you’ve learned your lesson. –Father."
Moral of the story for k_lid's young doobie snacker? The back porch isn't a safe haven when the clock strikes 4:20 pm. If you want to help ruin this kid's holiday spirit even more, bid on the auction here.

Auction ended... but this is hilarious!



you think your kid smoking pot is bad now? After publicly humiliating him, he will be into coke and heroin in no time!
