Wii Murder!

According to the police, the teenager was playing intensely with a game at the time of the event. The father, who have been warning him for a while to stop playing, went into the room to demand that he turned off the videoconsole. The son ignored the father's orders and kept playing trying to finish his game. As a response, the angry paterfamilias unplugged the power cable, making the son lose his progress in the game.

At that point, the son furiously jumped off the sofa and, angered by the fact that he lost all his game progress tried to strangle his father with the cable of the gamepad, almost achieving it. Fortunately, the wife heard the struggle and helped his husband to break from his agressor. After that, the police and emergency medical teams arrived to the scene, taking the father to the hospital. A few minutes after this, the police arrested the son in a nearby street in Bilbao, the spanish city where the events occurred earlier this week.

The son is now under custody and going to be judged for a domestic violence crime. Now, while I don't approve of his reaction, I have to confess that sometimes I have felt an intense desire to smack someone because of similar reasons, being losing my progress in a long game or a document. I don't care if it happens because another person stepping over the power cable or a general electric failure, but I have to say that I have crashed more than one gamepad and mouse against the wall. What about you?

:P i read about it on yahoo news

No offense,

but can you never put a smily after somebody's murder? Well, after an attempted murder anyways.

It's just not a funny thing. At all.

depends on who you ask :):):)

True i just find it humorous that some people can be that hot blooded i mean honestly that's his father the man that gave birth to him and he tries to strangle him to death. It's ridiculous and in that stupidity i find it humorous

There is a difference between providinggenetic materialand giving birth.

On the same note, a domestic dispute involving a baseball bat isn't news worthy. Why should this be seen differently? The controller became a weapon because it was quickly available at the time.

To the obvious statement of "He was playing videogames at the time and was quick to be enragedand defend his games. This is disturbed(ing) behavior!"

I completely agree, but the root cause is not the videogames. The root cause is the dog's breakfast in the kid's head that sent the proper electrical impulses to the rest of the piles of flesh. Somehow, nobody wants to blame the person.

On a lighter note, the father should have bought him a wireless nunchuck...

Hold up. His father gave brith to him!?!?!

you know what i wouldve done? i wouldve changed the kid's console from the inside so the outside of the case is the same console but the inside is an atari! muahaha! and as extra punishment....instead of 40 lashes...40 hours on the Virtual Boy! Muahaha!

ahem...but in all seriousness, some kids should not be allowed to play video games. parents should pay more attention to their kids playing habits to see if they are becoming more aggressive. make 'em read a book or something. or do something else...like...live a life.

i disagree, i found it hillarious

I'll be honest if Nintendo heard this they'll do their best to make the wireless. Which would stop this crazy drunken attitiude of this kid. He deserved it (not the father the kid don't get me wrong here!) he should've listened to his father there is a rule obey thy mother and father. THERE IS NOTHING IN THERE ABOUT KILLING THEM!! Where the heck has this totally twisted world gone too? If my son tried to even lunge at me I'd sell that wii!! And maybe find a big black bump size of Mt. everest on his forehead and probably a VERY long time in jail.

Geez crazy people. Oh well it's already run by idiots why should I care?

It is not Nintendo's job to make sure the crazy morons can't hurt anybody. If the child is unstable, they shouldn't give him anything that can be deemed as a dangerous weapon. Parents need to start beating their kids and let them know who's boss! When you dog is bad, do you put it in the corner for 'timeout'? Hell no! You smack the thing around a bit just to put it in check. Not saying go abuse your kids (or animals) but there is a difference between being punished and abused. I blame society for the big problem here. Stuff like this is happening more and more. Thats what you get for not punishing your kids and teaching them right from wrong.

This case might lead to a completely wireless system in the future. No cords, no cables, cool!

but wait.... if a nunchuk is wireless, then they need to rename it, cuz a nunchuk is always linked with a cord/chain. If it's wireless, it's not a nunchuk anymore. Make sense?

There is enough wireless crap already. I'm sick of changing /charging batteries . Beat your kids, let them know who's boss. Then no worries about kids trying to overpower their parents with game controllers.
