Wii rage turns 3 year old into (more of a) menace
Filed under:
Gaming
Meet Adam McConnell: Wii enthusiast... future criminal. See the wee lamb purposely (
this time ) smashed his father's 42-inch plasma after losing in Wii sports. Father Brian left the lad alone playing tennis to get the boy a drink -- presumably, a pint. While in the kitchen the father "heard two big bangs." Brian returned to find his son "using the handset to smash the TV screen." No claims of a
broken Wiimote strap this time folks, the responsibility lies in the kind of pure, seething rage only a 3 year old can muster. Oh we feel ya Adam, we feel ya.
[Thanks, Mark A.]

Only ? I have not observed teh Rage diminishing with age. I just stop playing before I reach the controller-throwing, screen-punching or keyboard-stamping phases.

And of course, taking photos and writing about it is a sure way to teach him that it's the wrong thing to do. ...isn't it?

Indeed. Giving wrong doers attention is a proven deterrent.

Flimsy modern technology, if it was a CRT it would have stood up to that kind of punishment.
