shot

Tragedy struck this week in Wilson County, Tennessee, when a three year old child mistook the loaded handgun that her father had left on a table for a game controller and shot the family's brand new plasma TV. The $8,000 wall mounted screen had been purchased specifically so that her parents could properly enjoy the Nintendo Wii version of House of Dead: Overkill.

"Ah don't rightly know what happened" said her father. "She'd taken a trip to the little girls room. When she came back she just picked up one of mah pistols and opened fire on the plasma. If she didn't like the game I wers playing I would'ah jus' turned it off."

Police have issued a warning to all parents after this tragedy. "Video games are dangerous" said the County Sheriff. "My office has issued a warning to all parents of the potential dangers of allowing their children, especially the very young, to be exposed to video games."

"This incident of Wii Rage shows how young minds can be perverted by dangerous and violent devices of this nature. If that child had not been corrupted by the satanic influence of Nintendo this tragedy could not have happened."
