After catching his 15-year-old smoking pot, a father sold the hard-to-get "Guitar Hero III" video game he bought his son for 90 dollars for Christmas at an online auction, fetching 9,000 dollars.

The sale took place after the father spent two weeks searching for the video game for the Nintendo Wii gameboard.

"So I was so relieved in that I had finally got the Holy Grail of Christmas presents pretty much just in the nick of time. I couldn't wait to spread the jubilance to my son," the father wrote on the eBay website.

"Then, yesterday, I came home from work early and what do I find? My innocent little boy smoking pot in the back yard with two of his delinquent friends."

The man, a school teacher, who kept his identity private, said he sold the coveted video game to punish his son and discourage him from smoking dope.

The sale was a boon for the family's bank account, since the game the father purchased for 90 dollars (US) was finally sold to an Australian who plunked down 9,100 dollars for it.

The naughty son, however, will not go without a present on Christmas.

"I am still considering getting him a game for his Nintendo. Maybe something like Barbie as the Island Princess or Dancing with the Stars ... I know he will just love them," the father said, tongue-in-cheek.

Yes, way to go dad. Perhaps the whole, "buying the love" and "bribery for obedience" thing will work for ya. And if it doesn’t, you still made an awesome profit.

Sorry, I’m having flashbacks.

Yeah, something doesn't add up. Anyone have a link to the auction?

When the munchies run out, you drive down to the store for more. There is nothing more entertaining then cruising along in your car at 20 miles per hour, asking your friends if that car that passed was a cop, and trying not to laugh when your friend almost falls out of the car trying to hit a road sign with a beer bottle.

Ah, those were the days.

I'd guess that the buyers meant to bid 9,000 cents. Perhaps they were on pot too.

You can still get it for about $200, even for Wii.

i forgot which comedian said it, but it is sooo true...they will never legalize pot until they make "second chance" exits...of course in texas you just make your own....but a lot of other places, i hear they frown upon it...

Bull shit.

Point the first: Pot isn't that bad. Sure If you're chronic, it's nasty. But a teenage experimenting, it's almost a given.
Point the second: Sure, it's a victory for him because he makes an exorbitant amount of money, but he's completely ruined his father-son relationship.
Point the third: You just don't sell a gamer's games. You just don't.

What A Fucknut.
