After having "warned [their] 3 boys about their behavior while playing the Xbox," a rather vengeful father had decided to create folk art with the console, according to the mother's CNN iReport. In the comment section, the mother said the kids do not "totally hate dad ... There was a problem, and the problem was addressed properly."
Not to worry for the kids, however, as a replacement Xbox can be found on eBay for well under $40. In fact, the Xbox shown above can be found on the online auction site as well, with 50% of proceeds reportedly going to the local school system and 50% towards the children's college fund. So, now that we know it can be nailed ... will it blend?

Most of the "douche bags" are still playing XBOX 1 online games anywho.
Disturbingly enough, a larger amount of older douche bags play the XBOX 360. Because it's more expensive.
Though, you still have a high amoutn of the snottier spoiled kids playing the 360. But man, there's just as much annoyingly stupid trash talking moronic adults on there, and older teens.

Hate to see what he would do to a red ringed 360. But he's obviously smart enough not to buy one.. Actually, it would work out fine cause the thing would'nt work long enough for the little brats to fight over it. Their dad would probably destroy it anyway because of the noise of the damn thing taking off and landing like a friggin Jumbo 747 next to the tv. But hey, thats the 360 for you...all that noise and no hard drive space for the future top quality HD games to come. What a shame. I guess it goes to show that "First is Last"!

Can't we all just get along...
No?...didn't think so.
On a different note, I can only wonder how much news coverage this would generate if instead of nailing it to a tree, he nailed to, lets say...a wooden cross.
...on fire.

In fact the original Xbox makes an excellent Media center if you are not an HD fiend. XBMC is really cool.

If a tree falls in the forest because it had an xbox nailed to it, does it still make a sound?

I'm pretty sure it died.
I saw it last night, it was a ghostly white and had a red glowing eye. Creepy.

I'd like to see the father try to do that to a Gameboy. Those things seem to survive fire, water... bombs!?
