Dad Sells 'Guitar Hero III' on eBay After Catching Son Smoking Pot
Sunday, December 16, 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.
Click here to read the full PC World report.
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.

Maybe the idea is to keep him from becoming a stoner.

Don't you get it? It sold for this much as a protest against smoking weed.

Everyone at the office was talking about this story. Of course the craziest part of the story was the price for the game. Seriously, 9 grand? Pfff.......

Why would a stoner protest against smoking?

lol did the money really go to towards an anti-drug campaign or something?
if not, then yeah, it was probably a stoner who bought it.

Like you would know what a stoner would by. And with my knowledge of the topic I'm guessing it was some anti-drug hysteric thinking this will make a difference, which it doesn't.
