Son Stabs Father Over FIFA 09

[Irridium]

Wow, I know Europeans get kind of batshit insane when it comes to football(Soccer), but... wow.

Every single country in europe?

I thought only the brittish went nuts over football.

Oh no, its pretty much all of the world, except North America.

And as the oh so credible source of Wikipedia points out, it even sparked a war [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_War].

It wasn't the sole reason, but more of a "straw that broke the camel's back" type thing.

 

[Desert Tiger]

If I had to play Fifa 09, I'd stab my dad too.

Son Stabs Father Over FIFA 09

"Mario is obsessed," his mother said. "He's forever playing on his PlayStation, and we bought him FIFA 2009 because we didn't want him playing violent games."

Oh, the irony. You could cut it, as they say, with a knife.

This is the greatest piece of irony to ever exist. Seriously.

That is all.

Oh no, looks like Australians might have their soccer boxes without the shiny pearlies of Rooney and Ronaldo. Looking into those eyes might be enough to never awaken from the abyss.

 

[flaming_squirrel]

Oh wow, this guy's going to be proper special when he grows up.

Auggh I hate when how whenever someone acts violently while playing a videogame it is automatically the videogame's fault. Videogames don't automatically turn a friendly straight A student into a axe murdering psycopath, you have to assume that there's at least a bit of mental disarray beforehand.

Although I am glad about how this will affect the whole "violent videogames cause violence" argument.

 

[Ben Jamin]

Damn it. If this finds it's way to Atkinson...
"See even non-violent video games like FIFA can trigger violence, how do you think games like Grand Theft Auto will effect the population?"

I hope to God his ignorance also covers this.

 

[Ghonzor]

Well shit, now no gamers are safe from the ignorance of the common man

 

[bigmike5400]

Darn soccer hooligans.

 

[geldonyetich]

They take their soccer very seriously over there...

 

[Joa_Belgium]

What in the world is going on today with teenagers? Have they all lost their mind because of a stupid videogame?

 

[JWAN]

good thing they didn't get him grand theft auto!

 

[JWAN]

then again If I got a stupid soccer game for my birthday I would be pissed too.

They start fires in the stands in Germany.

I'm just glad the father's still alive. By the way, the mother doesn't sound too bright.

 

[Citrus]

I wish I had parents that cared what I was doing enough to comment on it and make friendly suggestions.

What a douche.

 

[Penitent]

The father survived the attack? Oh thank god! I had assumed the man was killed in the attack. I'm just glad he's alright.

As for the child and videogame controversy, to be honest, I'm okay with the parents blaming videogames here. It wasn't the cause, I know, the son's immaturity and lack of self-restraint are, along with other possible factors, but some bitterness towards it is understandable, when he looked out for him like. Gifts are meant to bring people joy, not anger. I hope the child will grow up into a kinder, more mature person anyway. Don't want to make a habit of this.

This kid probably plays as Manchester. No wonder he's such a ****.
