You decide 2: Your kid or a PlayStation 3?

You make people with an actual mind and heart cry...We never expected to make another article that had people making such weird decisions because of a game console. The truth is stranger than fiction, however, so we can safely say this is the second You Decide article. This can also safely fall into one of our "you make bunny cry" series of articles, simply because of the nature of the discussion.

We learned from Kotaku about a bit of coverage made on Fox News. Unlike our earlier article where Taco Bell was offering "tacos for life" in exchange for a PS3, a radio station jokingly asked people if they would trade their kid for one of Sony's next-gen consoles.

Minnesota station 101.3's host Dave Ryan asked the listeners of his morning show if they'd be willing to trade in their baby for 24 hours for a new PS3. While some got the joke other people, it seems, were dead serious, as calls kept on coming in.

You know, that's just the kind of thinking from supposedly sensible adults that makes Bill O'Reilly's assertions about gamers seem valid. We're not even really going to ask the question that lets you decide, because we're pretty sure no one wants to find out their parents traded them in for a game console, right? Exactly.

Kick the kid to the curb and get the Ps3. Im sure the parents could use the break, and im also sure no one will harm the kid. Go for the Ps3. A day off plus a new console.

Yes

It would be only for 24 hours. It isn't like the kid is going to be gone forever. I would absolutely trade my 3 month old for a brand new PS3.

The point is not to have fun, the point is, it's your child, and you would give him/her up for a ****ing VIDEO GAME SYSTEM! That's sick.
