Ebay breaks the spirit of a little boy
Found on The Inquirer on Thursday, 03 June 2004
A bugle-breaking Arkansas youngster is having his PS2 cruelly taken away from him and auctioned on the ever-popular eBay.
It all started when the 13 year old decided to cost his parents a fortune: the sassy kid had stolen his Dad's precious beer, broken his mother's bugle and glugged down a 120 dollar bottle of champagne. Ouch.
Never before had eBay made for such effective punishment – the kid's parents being borderline sadistic, if you ask me. The mother, who set up the auction, favours a bright red bold font, and makes a point of telling us how "beloved" the item is.
The system is obviously well used, and comes with two control pads – an official Sony pad and a tricksy third party one too.
Now that's a nice idea. As if taking his beloved toy wouldn't be enough already, they also auction it. They should have made a pic when they told him.
