kentucky.com — The PS3 stories get crazier and crazier. Now it seems that a suspected rapist apparently escaped just to go get in line and wait for the PS3. No joke.

  • gronne, on 10/12/2007, -2/+102Headline on Hannity & Colmes tonight:

    "Why do rapists prefer Sony?"
    • organon, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17Instant gratification morons ...
    • Antaeus, on 10/12/2007, -30/+2"Why do rapists prefer Sony?"

      you get more pleasure?
    • blindbug, on 10/12/2007, -6/+46Hannity: Why did you do it?
      The Rapist: I don't know, she was just there and I was drunk...
      Hannity: Let's stick to the issue! You were going to sell the PS3 weren't you!

      ----------------------------
      Step 1: Rape
      Step 2: Buy PS3
      Step 3: ???
      Step 4: Profit!
    • sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -25/+3Clearly he's a Democrat. It's the Republicans that rape for wii.
    • zionKing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18This is the same Best Buy where those kids shot 3 people waiting in line for a PS3 with a BB gun very recently. Oddly, this is the second front page digg story (in a very short time frame) about events happening at this particular Best Buy in Lexington.
    • levi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Actual headline "Rapists prefer Sony to Wii?"

      Could be a question, could be a statement ...I don't know.
    • shadgenki, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8You mean that convicted rapists aren't very smart? WHO KNEW??
    • crilen007, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3Obviously he prefers his Wii.
    • jlunski, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@blindbug

      You forgot a second rape in there, like the new owner getting reamed a new one by shelling out 8x the MSRP.
    • jomommaznutz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I'm sure the rapist thoroughly enjoyed being "arrested" at "the rear loading dock".
  • mazerrackham, on 10/12/2007, -7/+54The article says the guy was like hiding in the loading dock, and some people in line witnessed his arrest.

    Inaccurate.
    • t1t0, on 10/12/2007, -15/+6I don't know why you're getting dugg down... you're right! Guess it just isn't as funny as the "No joke" story...
    • fauxXenophanes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+50... then, everybody in line got raped when they bought a new system for $600!
    • Magreger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Agreed. That was just the confused student who didn't know what the heck was going on.
  • Tmoney645, on 10/12/2007, -5/+29This just in: The second coming of Jesus discovered in Best Buy PS3 line. Jesus came back for teh Sony!
    • eldivertido, on 10/12/2007, -16/+4Do me a favor, ask him to create a digg filter to cut out the constant PS3 news trash. Ugh.
    • rockontop, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Jesus codes the Digg back-end? Well, I learn something new every day.
  • afex, on 10/12/2007, -10/+1"Ricky Simpson, a UK student from Ashland, was in Best Buy yesterday when he saw police arrest a man. "I thought it was for the Playstation," he said, referring to the video game system being released today."

    a guy in line SAW him at the best buy...the rapist was NOT in line for the ps3...
  • gardnmi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15As more and more of these articles appear I starting to not believe these stories. I can't wait for mondays headlines for the WII. "Man Cures Cancer while standing in Line for the Wii"
    • postitnote, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23I'm waiting for the "Man buys a PS3 and plays with it" headline.
    • flaimfirestar, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0I live there, and I actually saw the police show up, so you can believe it.
    • Dunadan, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2"I'm waiting for the "Man buys a PS3 and plays with it" headline."

      I'm waiting for the "Man buys a Wii and plays with it" headline. I know I know, Wii jokes are old but I couldn't pass that one up.
  • thcobbs, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4What? no video.... With the amount of cash these people are shelling out, ONE of them has got to have a video cellphone!

    I mean come on people!
    • JohnCrichton, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2this is in kentucky, they don't have money to buy a cellphone. it's sorta like those suv's you see around town, they have nice rims and such but the people who own them live in run down houses..
    • tendonut, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3If they are willing to skip work and/or school to go stand in line for 2-3 days, I doubt they have a stable enough income to maintain a cell phone contract. And those pay-as-you-go phones typically don't have video capabilities.

      The people who were waiting around me were mostly trailer trash living off welfare. Seriously, I graduated with these kids and when I worked at EB, they tried to pay for games with food stamps. They can't hold a job for *****.

      I am not directing this solely at PS3 people. This also goes for the Xbox 360 and potentially the Wii people, even though camping is not required to get a Wii.
    • relic21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1There is some video on www.wkyt.com. That's one of the news stations in Lexington. There was also a reporter from that station shot in the BB shooting incident at the same Best Buy.
  • mojorojoe, on 10/12/2007, -12/+1Hey better playing with a PS3 than a lil Wii one I always say..
    • tendonut, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Yeah, but you've got to actually GET a PS3.

      My PC is more capable than the PS3 anyways. I could give 2 ***** about consoles. I'm after the Wii for pure originality.
  • musntSurfatWork, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1This 'escaped rapist' just gave Sony Entertainment a new game idea for kids. Sneaky marketing I say.
  • MikeBasinger, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7He must have never seen this:

    • billlyboobs34, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2That chick is HOT!

      ok, well maybe she has a butterface.
    • floridiot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I'd hit it. Oh, and the Wii girl too.
  • firemillen2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5will he be able to take his ps3 to prison? he could become the kingpin in prison w/ it and a flatscreen.
  • JimmyDushku, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12He wasn't in line for the PS3. He was waiting to play with his wii.
    • CDHarrisUSF, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10What? Why would a rapist want to...

      ... oh, I see what you did there.
  • unitedkronos, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I wonder if sneaking up on store console queues will appear in the Burger King 'Sneak King' game.
  • mecole21, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9this is why u buy a Wii... rapist buy PS3's...
  • Havs, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4"Burdine was charged in an alleged assault at the Kentucky Welcome Center"

    Welcome to Kentucky!
  • modiggs1976, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Not to get all wistful, but ***** like this didn't happen in my day. The worst thing that happened with Nintendo is Mike Tyson wrote that creepy letter to kids around the world in Tyson's Punch Out!
  • zionKing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This would be the same Best Buy where those kids shot 3 people waiting in line for a PS3 with a BB gun very recently. Oddly, this is the second day in a row where a story involving this Best Buy in Lexington is front page digg news.
  • bradybrye, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Gee, I wonder which marketing department is pushing all of these articles.
    • modiggs1976, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Haha, I bet Jack Thompson's people just found Digg and are excited.
  • floatingpoints, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What the *****.

    What I'd like to know is how they found him.
    • Whackly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0you know.. the article actually explains that.
    • leomyhero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1uh do you think this gave him away?!

      "When Burdine escaped, he was wearing only boxer shorts and white tennis shoes, UK police said...people said they saw a man matching the same description."
  • BubbleWrap, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"You just chose a child molester's jam!"
  • Jist, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2They should have shoved a ps3 in this guy's ass.
    • Durrok, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Have you actually seen a PS3? No way that's fitting in any human orifice!
  • MikeOSX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4...I'll take the rapist for $400, alex...
  • Whackly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0K. I just read the article. It doesn't say that the dude ever waited in line or that he even bought a Playstation 3. In fact the article only mentions the ps3 in passing based on a quote from witness. WTF.
    • Whackly, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1P.S.

      In Soviet Russia, PS3 rapes you!
    • stryker2you, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@whacky

      I logged in just to digg your stupid lame joke down. I mean seriously...thats lame and jokes like that should only be made when something russian was mentioned in the article.
    • Whackly, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0See, unfortunately, these jokes are made all the time on Digg. Although stupid, they are funny. For the most part they are ironic and sarcastic. They are made in the spirit of pointing their own ridiculousness. If that offends you perhaps you are the victim of a learning disability. Perhaps you should stick to things that are a bit more gestalt. Your linear chunks might be leaking.
  • Imsirion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Is it wrong that I actually laughed out loud after I read the title? :/
  • JohnCrichton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Isn't this the same Best Buy store where those kids shout the people with bbs waiting in line for the console?
  • Koushiro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wouldn't be surprised...
  • VeganG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1When we lined up for The Phantom Menace, there was a wanted murderer hiding in line with us.
  • piper999, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Best headline ever!
  • cezar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Haha. The PlayStation market is soooo amazingly saturated. I can't wait till all these people standing in line can only make 50 bucks out of the whole thing. I haven't heard of ONE person standing in line to buy a PS3 to actually PLAY with.
  • phatalbert, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Why is half the front page PS3 stories?
    • piper999, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I guess you didn't notice but it is the launch day of the PS3.

      Its a videogame console made by a company called Sony.
    • stryker2you, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1@piper

      OMG Really? I'm scared....let me get back under my rock. ;p
  • IpsoPhatso87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8RIDGEEEEE RAPER!!!!!!!!
  • manowatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Turns out it was actually just a "therapist."
  • merdiesel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Now I would definitely make a donation to smash-the-rapist.com...
  • indirect, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This is the same store that had the guy drive buy & shoot a BB gun at people. There is only one Best Buy store in Lexington.

    EDIT: sorry, zionKing I just read your post.
  • spoonard, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1PS3...the console for rapists!! LOL!!!
  • Brocclibob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1He's a smart one.
  • phatcat77, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1this is stupid
  • bioskope, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1how do you rape a PS3?
