Man loses life savings on trying to win XBOX 360 at carnival game

[Voorhees27]

I love the part when he left the grounds, went home and grabbed $2300 from his mattress and headed out for redemption revenge.

Nothing like laughing at the less financially fortunate than you eh?

The sad thing is this kind of stuff happens everyday. Its gambling. I think he was more into winning his money back than winning the xbox itself. Guess he can't complain though. After collegehumor sends him $2600 + an xbox, he will also have the $600 on top of that from what the guy at the fair gave him.

The rasta banana is cool though

Must be nice.....

I own bills....

Same here, mortgage, bills, kids, student loans, ect.. No cc debt.. I wish I could save that much. But, I'm not not going to make light of others situation since I have been there before. You save what you can, at least had something in savings. Everyone starts somewhere we all can't start at 2600 in less the two months.

LOL WTF. Is this story actually real? Looks like a spoof skit from a tv show.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

The first thing I would say about this video is he wanted that Xbox for himself not his kid. Secondly why should stupidity be rewarded? He will only go and blow it on something else like a handful of magic beans.

Seriously? WTF?? I'm not a rocket scientist or anything, but I've been fortunate enough to have the means to get out of debt, save a little money, and now completely debt free outside of one car payment. This tool is gonna get this stupidity rewarded? And keep the banana?? Am I doing something wrong here??

Wasn't an XBox 360. It was an XBox Kinect...makes all the difference, right there.

It's obvious why he's so financially unfortunate.

it felt very fake to me as well.

 

[The Chaver]

How does this ever make it into the news.. really, what news agency would go and look for a story such as this? Oh wait...

 

[Frank]

I'm concerned about this trend. Hot Toys will soon announce a $3000 Mark LXXXI "Rasta" Iron Man.

 

[Intruder04]

And I thought HTs were getting expensive.

Welllll, considering our moola is together (like, when I got my trust fund, etc, it was ours) it is mine, too.

This story still bothers me cause all I can keep thinking is, why xbox, bro?
