Brian McConnell left his son, Adam, alone with a game of Wii Sports: Tennis for only a few moments to fetch a drink, but that was all the time the little demon needed. Not even a Wii remote strap could've saved Brian's plasma TV once the three-year-old set his mind on avenging a lost match. Brian came back to the living room to find his £1,000 television ruined, its 42-inch screen bashed by his Wiimote-wielding progeny. Queue up the darth_vader_nooo.jpg images.
The forgiving father let Adam off the hook with only a light lecture and a two-week Wii ban. That's a lot more lenient than the hanging, drawing, and quartering punishment one of our NintenDadz would've sought.

That deserves a whoopin'!
I mean, seriously, back in the day I used to get the belt for even THINKING I'd do something bad.
This kid flips out and breaks an expensive TV and all he gets is a lecture?
I worry about the future.

Those may be the only good back and forth comments I've ever seen on Joystick.

Is that a picture of the actual kid? Because that doesn't look like a Wii Remote in his hand

Maybe he crushed the remote flat with his massive jam hands of doom.
