- Insert31990, on 10/10/2007, -1/+101That kid gets a ridiculous amount of allowance.
$20.00 a week? - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+87"As punishment the boy was out two weeks allowance for the cost to replace the controller said Mrs. Beknell."
So the kid fed the wiimote to the dog? I don't get it. - KevenM, on 10/10/2007, -1/+47A demonstration showing that the Wiimote still works while in the dog would have made for a great YouTube clip. Bonus points if used for Wii Sports Tennis or Baseball.
- stealth45, on 10/10/2007, -2/+47How the ***** did the dog manage to swallow that?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+45When I was young, I marched for 3 hours through the snow to go to school, and my parents gave me 5 cents for lunch.
- jcaino, on 10/10/2007, -0/+40well, you got the internets and food and a roof over your head. i'm sure you don't pay for that.
- plbland, on 10/10/2007, -1/+38You're all so lucky, when I was a kid I had to work 26 hours a day, get up at 6am just before I went to bed at 8am...
- kentdoggydog, on 10/10/2007, -7/+43This looks so fakey.
- browwiw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+35With its mouth.
- inku, on 10/10/2007, -0/+34Dugg for 'casual swallowing'.
- Ashkc88, on 10/10/2007, -1/+34At least he got an allowance. When I was young, I didn't get paid anything and still had to do chores.
- shadowblade989, on 10/10/2007, -1/+32terrible story
a lot of this seems either a) made up or b) written by a 3rd grader - tylerjames, on 10/10/2007, -0/+27uphill both ways!
- mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23perfect grandpa rant.
- mjewell, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23Pft! When I was a kid I'd get woken up with a hot scalding, spend 27 hours down mine cleaning coal, and pay the parents 15 shillings a week for the privilege! Kids these days.
- snypa, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22Would be fun to swing the dog around when playing though, especially when playing something like golf in Wii Sports. Though that doesn't sound very legal.
- bpapa, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21I guess he didn't pick up after himself.
- Urusai, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20...and we couldn't afford shoes, so when the wind picked up, we had to wrap our bare feet with barbed wire to keep from skidding on the ice and snow.
- zeromancer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20my head just exploded.
- Octopie, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22OMG Digg will you make an X-ray section already
- Mononuclear, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19yeah I received $0 a week and had to mow the lawn, vacuum the house, and clean the bathrooms.
- m4rk0551, on 10/10/2007, -3/+21Why the hell was the boy punished? It's not like he actually gave it to him. The dog probably though it was a bone (wiimote).
- ccxftw, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18Your complaining about getting $5? I'm 15, I have to do that stuff and I don't get anything, I have to get an actual job in order to make money.
- Scarfy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17Yes, the U-shaped bone. In scientific terms of course.
- KingBunny, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18Why would they punish the kid because something of his got eaten by the dog? Shouldn't they dock the dogs allowance? Unless the kid.. like.. smeared the remote with honey.. or something.
- noahhoward, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16It's the thing shaped like a remote... there's an arrow pointing to it.
- DivisibleByZero, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15"The Vet started massaging the dogs belly and it just came flying out of the dog,"
See, that's why they tell you to wear that wrist strap. - KevenM, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15X-Ray section is on their list, right behind the Taser section
- Chakz, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Alright I know you love your old man, but "broke bed frames" and "tossed a stereo out a window" doesn't seem a little overboard to you?
- DWNamu, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15I had an X-Ray tech look at this and she said that the Remote would not look like that. Any pieces of metal would have been noticeable in the remote.
- wilf_brim, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13You guys sound like a Monty Python sketch. "When I was young i had to walk 20 mile to school uphill both ways, then work 20 hours in the mill, and when we got home our father would beat us to death and sing around or graves."
- verkon, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14Ever heard of dogs climbing and eating what ever they see?
- anagoge, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Since the Wii also has a speaker inbuilt, you'd be able to hear strange noises every time the tennis ball gets hit coming from the dog's stomach.
- girino, on 10/10/2007, -4/+15When I was kid I had to feed Atari joysticks to my dog! Kids these days...
- Ashkc88, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13Rich people? My parents own a business and I had to mow a huge ass lawn, vacuumed the house, keep my room clean every single day, take out the trash, and do the dishes. (all depending if it were my day to do the chores that is, there were 3 of us) To make money I had to find a job and do more work and still had to do the chores listed above. Unlike kids now adays, if I didn't do what my parents said I'd get the belt. My parents may have been strict, but I turned out great! *twitches*
- lazyrussian, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Look closer, it's huge and it's there - they're pointing at the bottom edge of it - change your gamma or contrast it in photoshop.
- devin_mm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9or both
- xero9, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Same. My parents didn't pay me a dime
- mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Massaged the belly and it just came flying out? I'm not sure how to picture that..
- MBHoy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Young dogs will try and eat anything. Surprised me that the dog didn't make some effort to chew it and eat it in smaller pieces. My dog has swallowed a golf ball before, and believe me there was no simple stomach massage. Two nights vet stay, operation to have it removed, £700 vet bill and soft food for a week.
And yes, as many others have said, the poor boy shouldn't have been punished, but if you think about it, he'd have to buy a new Wiimote anyway. It was actually nice of his mother to buy it for him and stop two weeks of payments, rather than making him go without a Wii for two weeks until he'd saved enough. "Punishment" was the wrong word though. - TridenTBoy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Your parents just don't love you.
- Weebs43, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8When I was younger my dog managed to swallow a Nina Turtle action figure, with a parachute attatched as well. I really wonder how he managed to swallow that, or how the ***** he is even still alive. They ended up taking out like a 1/3 of his stomach. He's also managed to swallow a few bouncy balls, some nails, and a bee. Since then, he's been pretty much restricted to only being in the kitchen and family room.
- SgtQuackers, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9But can you still play by moving the dog around?
- FunkyNuts, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Of course the dog now holds the high score in Resident Evil, so...
- Eivo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7That's what I want to know. Even for a big dog, that can't be an easy task.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Same here. My parents thought the idea of me getting an allowance was a pretty good joke. They laughed heartily.
- zeyad, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7i believe its that gray rectangular thing inside the U-shaped bone
- MarkOfTheDead, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7And that's why we're all glad you do not own a dog.
- browwiw, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Oh, no, I smell a new digg meme brewing...
