Parents willing to trade their kids for PS3s
Apparently a Minnesota radio host announced over the radio that if parents were willing to turn their children over to the station for 24 hours, they would give them a new PS3. They got more than they bargained for:
"We got more calls than we could handle," said Dave Ryan, "They were lined up willing to turn their kids over to strangers for a freaking' PlayStation."
Children offered included a one week and two day old baby. One caller named Katie attempted to get a PS3 by offering her 1 month old up for a 3-day period. When informed it was a hoax, she responded in disbelief.
Dave Ryan went onto say in an article,” But I didn't want them to feel too badly. I said, 'Listen you're not the only one who fell for this'. But at the same time, think about it, these are your kids, these are the most precious responsibility you'll ever have in your entire life. Be careful with your babies.' "
the question is would you?
