He doesn't look like he's sorry.. - Image 1It's bad enough when you leave the Wii to adults, but kids can cause major damage too. Three and a half year old Adam McConnell from London caused his dad all sorts of headaches after smashing up a 42-inch plasma TV worth almost US$ 2,000.

After leaving his son to play Wii Sports Tennis, Brian was in shock to find his pricey TV in ruins. "When I ran back in Adam was using the handset to smash the TV screen." Seems like little Adam lost a tennis game and went mad, causing major damage that the Wii is known for.

With a lesson learned, Brian now banned his kid from the Wii for two weeks and promised to keep a closer eye on him. Adam may have potential to be the next John McEnroe according to his dad, but even big boys would cringe at the sight of a fallen monster TV.

yes wii is for 3 to 5 years old and japanese people, so why wont you let your 3 year old son play on it.

 » well

you can let him play it, but watch him next time. Being that he's three, he'd probably need help anyway. This is the parent's fault.

You see these ar the type of stuff that makes me laugh so hard. The parent is the biggest idiot in the world. Its his fault that the tv was destroy by raging angry baby. Leaving this in the hands of a 3 and half year old shows you his laziness for being a parent. Thats like giving a loaded gun to a 8 year old nothing good will come out of it.
Though this is alot funnier outcome than that analogy. Wii is targeted to 3 to 5 year olds, that is completely ignorant. Though after reading this It makes sense lol.

And this kid isnt a noob maybe kidish newb. lol Banning him for life is a little extensive. And making him pay money is like grabing money from the air it doesnt happen.

I wouldn't have lived to tell about it. That guy deserves to have his tv smashed. I mean come on, a 3 year old? what did he expect? for the kid to hook up his high def and surround sound systems while he was at it? toddlers and expensive electronics equal ruined electronics......

Geeze! Don't EVER let a 3 year old kid play a videogame that can easily piss him off. God, if I were Adam's dad, I would've knocked the ***** out of him.
Lol, I can picture it right now.

"And little Adam can't hit the ball and loses the practice round!"
Adam - *Little 3 year old I'm Pissed Off Scream* "STUPID STUPID! I HATE YOU!!!" *Pissed Off Scream again, and starts smacking the virtual opponent*
Dad - "Adam, what's wrong? OH MY GOD! ADAM YOU LITTLE PRICK!"

 » ..

considering he is 3 years old and has never played the game before ever I beleive the correct term is newb. n00b is when you go on the intertubes and call other people n00bs (3 year olds in this case) whilest freaking out in game that people are haxing because you're getting your ass beat down.

I think the most hilarious part of this is just imagining a little red-faced boiling mad toddler attacking a high-end TV with a wii remote. Just picture that for a second and you'll laugh.
