Dumb Parents try to trade Kids for PS3.

[Klunka]

In a move one can only describe as "asshatish." Parents fall for a fake radio contest (http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/entertainment/16069842.htm?source=rss&channel=twincities_entertainment) where the station claimed to be giving away PS3's. What did they ask for in return you ask? YOUR CHILD
Just how far will people go to get their hands on a new PlayStation 3? Just ask KDWB-FM, 101.3's morning show host Dave Ryan, who on Tuesday morning asked folks if they were willing to give up their baby for 24 hours in exchange for one of Sony's highly coveted video game consoles. More than a dozen people called to offer up their kids, but only a few realized it was all just a gag.

So this begs the question. What would YOU give up for a PS3?

[TheFlyingOrc]

Not my Wii! :)

[Captain Awesome]

A Klondike bar.

[Klade]

Would you, would you kill a man?

[Gorvi]

I'd give up TheFlyingOrc's Wii. :p

[dotbomb]

I have some pocket lint.

Ask me this question again in 6 months to a year.

[rein]

$600 U.S. plus tax.

[Karmakin]

For a PS3?

My PS2. Or my GameCube. Hells. Maybe even both.

Not my DS 'tho.

[Talltale]

For a PS3?

My PS2. Or my GameCube. Hells. Maybe even both.

Not my DS 'tho.

Yep, I'll agree with that.

[ReaverX]

I'd buy that for a dollar...

[TheFlyingOrc]

I'd give up TheFlyingOrc's Wii. :p

Hey! Come back here with that!

[Netami]

Free babysitting, and a PS3?

Sounds great.

[resikel]

So this begs the question. What would YOU give up for a PS3?

My virginity.

[Captain Awesome]

Would you, would you kill a man?

haha, yes I would! :mad:

[flinxz]

$300 U.S. no tax.

[snugglebearofdeath]

I have some pocket lint.

Ask me this question again in 6 months to a year.

Amen on that.

However, 6 months worth of pocket lint could be used to make a nice hobo blanket so I may want to hang on to the lint.

[Returner]

Would you, would you kill a man?

Can it be Krazy Ken? If so hell fucking yes!

[Zeal]

So sad it's not even funny.

[Captain Awesome]

Amen on that.

"hobo blanket" hahaha

[Sl1pstream]

QFT.

If anything happens to that kid, sue the radio station, if nothing happens, it's a free PS3.

[Hewie]

Wait.. people actually listen to the radio?

[Heretic Machine]

$350 - $400, depending on the number of exclusives available at the time.

[cp#]

Semen.....

[ilian]

Dont get why the parents are dumb. Daycare is expensive. What, did they really think the radio station would kill their kids and eat them for diner? Obviously not.

[Yeti2005]

$400 plus tax.

It happened to me. I lost two children to a radio station who claimed to have the same kind of contest only to eat them........ :(

Now I look back and ask myself: "Was a chance at getting a Gizmondo worth it?"

Most days the answer is no......most days.

Gizmondo? Hell no.



Now an N-Gage? That's another story.....

[Vermillion]

I'd give up PXG360's dignity. Oh wait, I think he gave that up for an xbox and a 1up homepage. :)

[hell_on_toast]

ONE HUNDREAD OF YOUR EARTH DOLLARS!!!

....and suicide girls... no blondes...

[ilian]

....and suicide girls... no blondes...

Ill go have kids, and then give them up, for a suicide girl plz.

[Sloth]

She didn't even want the ps3, she wanted to sell the ps3 on ebay. If your'e a guy, watch out for that gold diggin' whore.

[Sl1pstream]

ONE HUNDREAD OF YOUR EARTH DOLLARS!!!

....and suicide girls... no blondes...

+99 awesome points for mentioning Nextwave.

[johnperkins21]

I'd be willing to have a kid just to sell it on the black market in exchange for a PS3. I mean, come on, it's just a kid. I flush millions of them down the toilet clinging to a piece of tissue paper every night. PS3s are much more rare (and thus valuable) than children.

[Johnny Internet]

I'd give up those radio show-calling parents to an invading alien race for a PS3.

[T-Rex Commando]

Oh boy, it sure was funny when that radio host guy talked about Kramer! Woo! What a hoot! I just LOVE topical humour like that, especially when it's used because someone is too fucking lame to think of anything better. EL-OH-EL!

[Camel]

Johan's got lots of kids...maybe I could create a diversion, possibly using bees, and steal one to trade for a PS3. I bet nobody at his house would notice for a few days...he's got what, 40 of them or something? ;)

[Atorak]

I mean, come on, it's just a kid. I flush millions of them down the toilet clinging to a piece of tissue paper every night.

Tube socks, dude.

You're welcome.

[Codicier]

This thread is laughs a second. :D

[resikel]

Tube socks, dude.

You're welcome.

Banana, dude.

You're welcome.

[Johan]

I would give a helluva lot to fast forward a year from now, so that idiots like these parents can have their PS3.

Can we put Sony laptop batteries in there, to do away with some of these fools?

*I'm only half joking*

[Stryfe01]

My dirty laundry...

[SteveRage]

'bout $150, not a penny more

[Dr.Finger]

Tree-fitty!

What, you don't want free babysitting for a day and a free PS3?

[K0LM]

Depends?!? Do I get my kid back?

But seriously I think I might have some spare paperclips and some rubberbands that I would trade for a ps3. But until any games come out that I want to play they are not getting any money from me.

[Oblivion]

I may part ways with my beard.

[Deadend]

I would write a 1,000 word essay for a PS3.

[Hieremias]

I'd give up my sister-in-law. Seriously, take her.

[Sloth]

I'd give up my sister-in-law. Seriously, take her.

what kind of deviant sexual acts will she do?

[Johan]

What, you don't want free babysitting for a day and a free PS3?

No problems with the PS3 from me...my problem is I've still got N64, Xbox, 360, PC and DS games I haven't even played yet (but which I own), so spending 500 or 600 on a system for MORE games I have no time to play would be a dumb, stupid, butthead move on my part.

So, I guess I will be getting a PS3, after all! ;)

[XenonCJ]

My free time?

[KingGorilla]

OH c'mon. What is easier to make a kid or a PS3? Based on my end, Sperm is worth like 20 bucks, eggs a few hundred. That is a bargain, makbe 200 bucks worth of kid for a 600 dollar console?

Unless your kid is born on the floor of your living room (like two of mine have been! :eek: Two others were in a hospital) you're going to pay thousands for delivery in a hospital...

Not such a good trade, when that is considered. :D

[KingGorilla]

You don;t have to pay those, what are they going to do shove the kid back in?

[DingBat]

Those parents aren't so dumb. I never even thought of that, for example.

[Deadend]

You don;t have to pay those, what are they going to do shove the kid back in?
Worse!

They are going to get on Live and lower your rank really low, then they are going to steal your TV and your porn.

[BleedTheFreak]

I'm not even sure I'd give up $500 for a PS3, to be honest.

[dead]

Well i don't really want one that much. However if i was one of you i'd probably be willing to give away some internal organ or finger etc.

[Loganrapp]

Tree-fitty!

Not four-fitty?

I would say I'd give a kidney for it, but a hooker left me in a tub of ice and I've only got one, now...

[Pluvious]

... why am i reading this thread?..

[The Continental]

Wait, so you get to get rid of the crotch droppings and snag a PS3 for doing so? The parents should have known it was hoax, if it seems too good to be true...

[grunter]

1000 acheivement points..... well maybe 200.

[KingGorilla]

Just what I said, but I hit a nerve. A little spooge and an egg, and poof a PS3.

[civil_dead]

So this begs the question. What would YOU give up for a PS3?
Blu-ray. :(

[Dag-Sabot]

An intensely through leg humping, with happy ending. Then a quick e-bay listing.

[MaiXu]

I'd be willing to trade about $300 for a PS3.

[drakkarim]

So this begs the question. What would YOU give up for a PS3?

about $300.

[roboninja]

Yeah, do not see the big deal, they were only turning their kids over for 24 hours, and to a radio station on a publicity stunt, which would lend me a great deal of comfort. People "shocked" by this are the "please think of the children~!" types, or did not actually read what it entailed. The fact the radio guys thought this was a good gag? Now that is sad.

It was a good gag. It made some people look very stupid and exposed their ridiculous greed.

And in the end, isn't that what jokes are all about? *eye twinkle* :p

I see no downside for the parents. Free 24hours of daycare plus a free PS3? Sounds like a steal.

Anyone who offers you something valuable in exchange for your children is not looking to read them stories.

Let's just leave it at that.
