Angry Dad nails Xbox to tree

That'll teach 'em...

Angry Dad nails Xbox to tree. Gaming, Xbox, Microsoft, Photos 0

Now look kids. This is what happen when you don't listen to your parents when they tell you enough is enough on the computer. Your favourite console gets nailed to a tree in your garden. The normal reaction, of course.

Yes, a mother of three boys in the States came back to find this sight in her garden. Apparently her husband had repeatedly warned the children about their behaviour while playing the Xbox, and while she was out it appears he reached the end of his tether.

On her return, the oldest of the boys told her to go and check out "Dad's artwork". Seems he took it pretty well.

They're probably happy about it to be honest. They can just ask Santa for an Xbox 360 now.

  • you only find this sort of stuff in america, it seems. needless to say, that's downright silly, why not lock it away or something? Posted by A, England
  • @A, England.

    Actually, people are pretty much the same all over the world. I'm sure some UK parent has destroyed a game console in a fit of anger. They just didn't take a picture and send it in to CNN.

    Are you actually asserting the fact that rash people only live in America? I'm fairly certain that the US didn't invent football hooliganism, for example, nor did the inventors of hooliganism subsequently all emigrate to the states to practice their "silly" art.

  • He used a nailgun? In America? I guess we should just be thankful his real gun had run out of bullets. Posted by Chris, England

  • @ C, America.

    My dad destroyed my PS3 cos I told him to Fuck off.
    But he later saw that I hated him so he rung up sony and demanded a replacement.

    It was a 60Gb launch system that he destroyed. So yeah, this stuff happens all over.

  • "so he rung up sony and demanded a replacement."

    WTF? He smashes up a PS3 then expects Sony to replace it? What a retard

  • He told them it was a hardware failure.
    There was no proof he broke it so they were nonethewiser.

  • To be fair, John's Dad (the real one) sounds like a w*nker who deserves to be told to f*ck off anyway. Posted by DB England, England
