Wii-deprivation drives man to kidnap himself
Wii-deprivation drives man to kidnap himself: “
Filed under: Gaming
Sure, Wii is great and all, but we’re guessing a man in China who tried to extort $1,400 from his parents by ‘kidnapping’ himself and demanding a ransom after they refused to buy him a ‘Nintendo computer’ was probably a little too infatuated with Ninty’s white box. The man — who we’re hoping is more of a ‘boy’ — apparently hired two men to kidnap him, and was arrested after he withdrew his own ransom from an ATM. Genius. Quick tip, kids: real tennis, bowling, golf, and boxing are almost as much fun as Wii Sports, believe it or not — and they involve just slightly less jail time.
