I remember reading this in the paper . Strangely enough, it was not the only video game rant thing on that day. Some bloke wrote in complaining about GTA4 a day after it had been released. Haden't played it of course, but felt that his misinformed opinion was interesting enough to be featured.
But anyways, thats not the issue...
What did she expect when she bought one handheld console for her four kids?!?! Jebus! It's common knowledge that kids don't like sharing. A wii would have been better. Basically she got guilt tripped into buying one, falsely expected them to share and blames the DS for it. That's right. DS. Not "Nintendo" as she keeps reffering to it as. Suggests she didn't do any sort of research into it, otherwise she would have known that.
I hate it when video games are used as a scapegoat for stuff like this. But I have to laugh at the picture. Her kids look like they're scheming at how to get her back.
Mother:"Have any of you seen the dog?"
Kid 1: "Yeah, we were having an argument over whose turn it was to walk it. Rather than solve the problem, we gave the dog to a charity shop. Hurts, doesn't it?"
