Irate father nails Xbox to tree

by Ross Miller on Aug 19th 2008 12:00AM

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?

im disappointed, i thought the link at the end would actually show me an xbox being blended

We can only hope it blends.

I believe the REAL question is...But can it still play DOOM?

"Squirrel Makes Bank on XBOX-Huge Estate."

Man, if only every parent did that to every little Xbox live douchebag......what a wonderful world it would be!

Agreed.

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.

People still play Original Xbox?

I believe Madden '09 was made for Xbox.

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"!

PS3fanboy.com is ----> that way.

Actually, stay out of PS3 Fanboy and just go straight to douchebag city.

"First is Last" didn't work for last gen.

@Noredrings

Yeah. That's totally why the ps2 lost last gen's console war.

OH WAIT.

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.

Scratch that. I didn't read all the Jesus references below me before making that reply.

So much for originality.

Yes, people still play the XBOX 1.

The most played, currently, consoles are the PS2 and the XBOX 1, least if surveys and such are to be believed.

This generation fails.

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

i thought dreamcast was first last gen. its what i had first anyway.

Most people don't really count the dreamcast as last gen.

and people try to say nintendo doesn't count this gen, that doesn't stop the Wii from being #1. facts are facts

Still, is from the last generation of consoles, the sixth generation, and was the first one to be released

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_video_game_consoles_(sixth_generation)

It always blends.

Not Chuck Norris.

Wouldn't look very good for that company who make those vids if it ever didn't blend..

Mic check...

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

Yes, I believe that would be so.

That sounds about right.

I always knew the Xbox would one day be our Messiah.

lol, you made a funnay

And give trees cancer.

If that thing comes back to life in three days, then we've got a real story on our hands.

I'm pretty sure it died.

I saw it last night, it was a ghostly white and had a red glowing eye. Creepy.

The poor Xbox didn't do anything wrong! LEAVE XBOX ALONE!!!!

should have nailed the kids to the tree..

"I saw it last night, it was a ghostly white and had a red glowing eye. Creepy".

Funniest thing ever!!! Say it again. You crack me up. You work for UPS? (snicker)

forget nailing it to that poor tree, should of nailed it to those badass kids asses...

Hmmmm....Digg this

Troll much?

Biased writer is biased.

@ vaulticee

all the time!!! Just plain pisses you off, dudn't it sweetie:(
The truth don't hurt ya so much when ya finally get around to facing up to it sugarplum :)

sugar plum? Are you his great aunt with dementia or something?

Aunt Lori???

What the hell are you doing on Joystiq this late, you're supposed to take me to the Zoo tomorrow!!

I HATE YOU

You have a horrible aunt.

You are one annoying troll.

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

http://www.geekologie.com/2008/03/gameboy_survives_bombing_still.php

but will it blend?

It always blends.

Nintendo can make a game system that can survive being burned, while Microsoft builds game systems that break if you breath on them.
