Keeping it Real

I have to give the dad credit for sticking to his guns.

HOUSTON, Texas (AP) -- An online casino that bought a cheese sandwich said to bear the Virgin Mary's image and a cane sold to banish a young boy's fear of ghosts has struck again -- this time paying a man $5,300 for his naughty children's Christmas gifts.

The Pasadena man said last week that he decided to auction the three Nintendo DS game systems because his sons, ages 9, 11, and 15, had misbehaved.

The family's decision made national headlines, intriguing GoldenPalace.com, casino spokesman Monty Kerr said.

I have zero sympathy for these kids, and a lot of respect for the dad. This is much better parenting than the example set by those idiots in Florida who went on strike when their kids wouldn't help them clean up.

On another note, what's the deal with GoldenPalace.com buying all of this stuff from eBay? It all sounds like an even more frivolous use of money than that stupid cloned cat.
