It seems like others are always trying to one-up the ironic, video game related crimes. Reported in this morning, a teenager was apprehended under charges of stabbing his own father over a video game dispute…in Italy…and the teen’s name was Mario. *sigh*
Granted “Mario” is definitely a more common name in Italy, but I guess ironic gaming stories tickle my dark, shriveled humor.

That is pretty sad. There was a boy I forgot where but heard it on the news that tried to hire a hitman to kill one of his parents for taking his PS3.
Secondly, that still wouldn't be irony. If they did it specifically to make him less violent as a whole, as opposed to just playing less violent video games so as not to tamper with his mind for his future life, then it would be ironic. But it isn't. And it never was because they didn't buy him the game to make him stop playing violent video-games.
Stop using irony wrongly people. Oh, and stop calling football soccer. What we play is football because it involves feet and a ball. Your rugby rip off is handegg.
Doesn't change the fact it isn't ironic though, since it DID make him play less violent video-games, neck stabbing an' all.

I can't help but feel disappointed that he didn't attempt to jump on his dad's head though.
Mario as Sam Fisher. I am sure they would add that move to it.
And it's the parents who should be locked up; kids like him clearly didn't have a stable upbringing and a lot of issues because of it. If he wasn't taught common Humanity as a kid then it's not as if he could have changed it.
A child's mind is a sponge. If you raise a kid to believe that, random example, every person with blonde hair was secretly an alien who should be avoided a kid will believe it, because they don't know any better and soak up the information they're given.
Is it the child's fault people taught him that? No.
If you constantly neglect a child and give him the type of upbringing that leads to these types of anger issues than the parents have only themselves to blame when he ends up attacking them. It's common-*bleep*ing-sense.
Am I saying the son is completely blameless? No. That would be stupid. But to act like he's some kind of monster and that it's his fault he wasn't given parents with any parenting skills is even more damn stupid, not to mention ridiculously closed-minded.
