My question is this: why is the Wii even mentioned in this article?
Someone left a loaded handgun in reach of a three-year-old girl. That's
the story here.

This.

Three-Year-Old Kills Herself With Game Controller-Shaped Gun - Wii - Kotaku

So news outlets can get angry at video games and not have to get angry at guns.

***Booyakasha*** · 03-10-2010, 03:40 PM

^Are we allowed to get angry at sh*tty irresponsible parents, or do we have to choose an inaminate object?

Dizzy · 03-10-2010, 03:56 PM

I read it as "Three-Year-Old Kills Herself With Gun-Shaped Game Controller".

...Which would still be as tragic, but more interesting.

Jere · 03-10-2010, 05:05 PM

I sence that some parents may have slipped somewhere here.

MeowMan · 03-10-2010, 05:15 PM

Accidental suicide?

Lucky little girl..

Metal Mario · 03-10-2010, 05:31 PM

^Well, that's a ****ed up thing to say.

Dizzy · 03-10-2010, 05:36 PM

He's doing the whole suicide thing this month.

It'll pass. Trust me.

**Valigarmander** · 03-10-2010, 05:45 PM

^^^ Is something up?

^^ Does it matter if there is? That was totally out of line.

Boo: My thoughts exactly.

Robotazy · 03-10-2010, 06:27 PM

At first I was like

"Why would you make a controller shaped Gun? I can not fathom this idiocy.

Now I'm like

"What that F**k is wrong with you news team?"

Yes, its called the sky. You would of heard of it several years ago if you ever went outside instead of posting on here all the time.

**X-3** · 03-10-2010, 09:22 PM

Meowman looks confident. There's just gotta be some sort of evidence you can use to counter his claim, Nick!

As for the story at hand, it's simply tragic.

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · 03-10-2010, 09:37 PM

^^ That time of the month?

This parent would not have passed the parenting test.

Question 14:
When is it appropriate to leave a loaded firearm within reach of a three year old child?
a) always
b) sometimes
c) rarely
d) never

***Booyakasha*** · 03-10-2010, 10:03 PM

Let's try and keep it civil, folks.

CuccoLady · 03-10-2010, 10:10 PM

OK this article made me lose any tiny spark of hope I may have had in humanity. Or at least in the people who write news articles. And certain kinds of parents.

A child died because her parents left a loaded gun in her reach. What the hell guys. :{/

Robotazy · 03-10-2010, 10:35 PM

By the way, If I start hearing people are being killed by video games, I may start thinking about life as a hermit.
