Monday, December 17, 2007

After catching his teenage son smoking pot, a father sold his son's coveted "Guitar Hero III" video game on eBay as punishment, and made over $9,000, PC World reported.

The father, a Canadian school teacher, spent two weeks searching for the rare video game for the Nintendo Wii gaming system before buying it for his son.

But later, after coming home from work early, he caught his son smoking reefer in the backyard with his "delinquent friends," PC World reported.

In the eBay listing page, the man said he put the video game up for sale to punish his son and discourage him from smoking dope.

"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," it was reported.

The father sold the game to an Australian buyer for $9,100.01, PC World reported.
