Mother Calls 911 Over Son's Video Gaming

A Boston mother (think terrier, but human-er) recently called 911 on her 14-year old son after finding him playing video games at 2:30 one morning, long after she had told him to go to bed. Nice, but I would have just belted the shit out of him because I know good parenting.
Mejia's son - one of four children the 49-year-old is raising alone - was playing "Grand Theft Auto," an exceedingly violent video in which the gamer assumes the role of ladder-climbing criminal.
An argument ensued as Mejia unplugged her son's PlayStation. Then, this mad-as-hell mother dialed 911. Police responded and managed to talk the boy into shutting off the game and going to sleep.Mejia said she approves of athletic-themed videos, but as for "Grand Theft Auto," she said, "I would never buy that kind of video. No way. I called (police) because if you don't respect your mother, what are you going to do in your life?"
"They (police) were just like, 'Chill out. Go to bed,' " the boy told the Herald.
Now listen here you little jerk -- you respect your mother. She's busting her ass to support you and three other children and you have to stay up Hot Coffee modding it (I'm on to you, pervert!) into the wee hours? You just be thankful I wasn't on duty to respond to that call. You ever been tazed and pepper sprayed and choked out with RGB cables simultaneously? It's not as kinky as it sounds.

Thanks to Lance, Space Kitten and Pete likes to party - Pete likes - Pete likes to party, who were respectful children but still managed to grow up and be delinquents.

Smog: the breakfast of broken dreams. This is the trailer for Grand Theft Auto 5, hot off the press. It looks pretty promising and takes place here in (a fictional) Los Angeles, so chances are high Rockstar will make me a non-playable character. Now listen, because this is i... / Continue →

This is The Game Station's sequel to their Brothers Mario trailer, again in the style of a Grand Theft Auto game. It's good. This one focuses on a new don moving to town (don Key Kong!!!!!!11) and demanding a piece of Bowser's action. The rest is history explosions and chees... / Continue →

Note: MUST-SEE video after the jump has a couple (literally, a couple) dirty words. This is an incredibly well made trailer for The Brothers Mario, a make-believe Mario game in the style of a Grand Theft Auto. Admittedly, I'd play the hell out of it. Also, the skin flute pro... / Continue →
