Wii-Deprived Kid Kidnaps Himself"Sure, the Nintendo Wii is great and all, but we're guessing that a kid in China who tried to extort $1,400 from his parents by "kidnapping" himself and demanding a ransom after they refused to buy him a "Nintendo computer" was probably a little too infatuated with the popular white gaming console According to China Daily, the kid apparently hired two men to kidnap him, and was arrested after he withdrew his own $1,400 ransom from an ATM. Genius. (Almost as genius as the kid who hired a hitman to kill his parents because they wouldn't buy him a PlayStation 3 -- the 'hitman' turned out to be a cop.) Quick tip, kids: Real tennis, bowling, golf, and boxing are almost as much fun as 'Wii Sports,' believe it or not -- and they involve just slightly less jail time." Maybe this kid should have asked for a Vii instead; less expensive AND better than real sports or Wii Sports any day. :?
Why? Just so he'll know that next time he wants something he can pull a similar stunt? The kid is stubborn and needs to learn to take 'no' for an answer.
