You Hate The PS3? Not As Much As This Kid

Krunal | August 11, 2007 | Other | Playstation 3 
A young boy of 13 was caught today red-handed at the back of the Anderson, S.C. Toys”R” Us Store . What was he doing - simple - using a permanent black marker, he was writing 'PS3 Sucks' on the plastic security cases that are used to protect the PS3 games from being stolen.

Although he was quickly caught, he did however manage to mark 23 of the cases, and was held till the police arrived, who then had him sent to child services when his parents couldn't be reached.
When he was asked why he did it by police he responded, “I have an Xbox and I hate Playstation. I found the marker lying on the shelf and I guess I was bored. Sorry.”

    I have to admit, after reading the title I expected something better (funnier). I'm disappointed.

    EDIT: Way to thumb me down Finalblade. I didn't make that comment because I hate the PS3, it's my favorite console of the 3. I just expected something funnier than this.

    I think we've found Finalblade's equivalent.

      So I assume if we changed the equation, replacing PS3 with Xbox 360, the kid would become a hero right?

      Rather amusing article this, a story to tell your friends when your bored sometime for a giggle.

        Actually i wouldn't call that a hero either, your attempt to think i hate xbox more than ever and to think that would be funny is quite sad.

    New level of stupidity, maybe not. He was making his point. Sure there were better ways but still. Bit strange to hear such things, but people do what they do =/

    He's a kid... His parents probabaly said the following night;

    "No you are not having a PS3 for your birthday!"

    And now like everyone they don't like what they can't have, he now has a vendetta against the PS3, though i bet if you gave him one today he wouldn't say no lol.

    There is something seriously wrong with that kids brain.

      Yup, I definately agree. Just because he hates PlayStation, doesn't mean he can vent his anger by using a permanent black marker.

    What amazes me the most is that a minor form of graffiti is getting world wide attention thanks to the internet. I've seen worse from 1 lesson at the local schools here...

    I would join in too, but I'd probably get a thumbs down.

    And as much as I dislike to say it, PS3 sucking or not, this is vandalism.

    Hah, never seen someone show that much hatred for the PS3...like Capn Droid mentioned, committing a crime, in this case vandalism to get his point across is a stupid way to go about it.
