Most of the new DS lites seem to have the off-white (read yellow) bottom screens. Explained by Nintendo as being a side effect of the touch screen (which doesn't make sense when that wasn't an issue with the DS phats.) Now the Crimson and Onyx DS lites have washed out looking screens. Not sure if that also includes the yellow as well on the bottom. Bottom line the DS phats have the best looking screens, yet they're no longer in production.

"Wait let's do the math. If she is 27 and he is 12...that means that someone stuffed a present under her tree when she was 15."

Which means the real failure here was the grandmother who let her daughter go out and get knocked up at close to 14 years old.

I think it's a little too late for tough love after 12 years. She apparently failed as a parent and unless the kid has a mental order there's no way he could have gotten in that much trouble by the age of 12 without some sort of neglect on her part. Even with a mental disorder it would have been all the more reason she would have kept a closer watch on him.

When I was in the military the Drill Instructors would talk about Mothers of America. You know the ones that blame society for their kids mistakes, and in this case the woman had probably blamed everyone but herself and her kid for every failed grade or criminal mischeif carried out by this boy up tho this point. As a said, 12 years later is a little too late for tough love or trying to come out as the hero. Chalk up another child that will be lost to the prison system by Mothers of America.

I think Xbox would do better if they added more to their free teir, and only exceptional stuff to the paid tier. Even a drug dealer knows how to market better.
