Mar 1 2009PEW PEW?: Man Holds Woman Hostage For Ten Hours With Original SEGA Light-Phaser
That's right folks, a Brazilian man held a 60-year old woman hostage for ten whopping hours with a Sega Master System Light Phaser. Captain PEW was looking to collect on an unpaid debt, and things got 8-bitty when the lady refused to pay.
The Light Phaser, the light gun that shipped with the Sega Master System, must be fairly common in Brazil, considering how incredibly popular the 8-bit console was in the country--it was one of Sega's strongest markets.
Fortunately, the man released his hostage, unharmed, after negotiating with police.
Well thank goodness there was no shootout! Because one time a friend tried to PEW PEW me with a NES Zapper and I was given no choice but to jam it up his ass, cord and all. Suffice it to say, Duck Hunt = awkward.

Thanks to Deathbat and Bourtney, who once held an entire break room full of coworkers hostage with coffee maker.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was captured and almost sacrificed to the sun god. Fortunately for him, there was an eclipse and he wasn't needed. He was later used as target practice, and was able to escape and also able to use his superior skills as a hunter to evade capture and to fight off those who pursued him.

I saw that on the TV here. Yep, it was true and he too had the knives... But is nothing compared to an older news in which a guy held a family hostage with a squirt gun.

Well, someone said ***C e l e b m i n g l e. C 0 M*** is a good place to be regarded as a home. many celebrities treat their as their home. They do not exclose themselves. They put so many hot and sensitive news about themselves on that site. I like to know them on that site. But I do not know to talk about what they write. That's secret for the members on that site. Want to know ur lovers' life? That's a good way to read them.

This guy obviously didn't hear about what happened to his countryman who hijacked a bus - the cops caught him, and then killed him in the squad car on the way downtown.
31. blp - March 2, 2009 7:39 AM
roflmao! That's the funniest thing ever. Did the 60-year old woman not know what the word SEGA meant? Maybe she thought it was hacked into one of those blue laser phasers and he was gonna burn her eyes out!

can't help but wonder how much money she owed for him to seriously hold her hostage for ten hours with a fake gun..
35. Timbo - March 2, 2009 9:33 AM
Dumb... everyone knows the best fake gun to use is the bright orange NES duck hunt gun...
36. BOOSH! - March 2, 2009 10:11 AM
2009= Dreams come true.

That's not fake!!!!
I'm Brazilian and I know where this freak happened. Its true, the man got a Sega Master System pistol and went to get a R$48,00 debit (about U$24,00). Then he took two kitchen blades and went out the house with a old women as hostage.
Yeah, it's true!
