Parents Take Kid's PS3: Boy Hires Hitman To Wack Them

This is just classic.

16-year old Cory Ryder is awaiting trial because he hired a hitman to take out his parents. Why do you ask? Because they took away his Playstation 3. Now if you asked me, his parents did him a solid favor, but Cory didn't see it that way. Unfortunately for Cory, the guy he hired was an undercover cop, hired by his mom!

Cory was picked up by a friend of his mom to go meet the hitman, and offered up his dad's pickup as payment for the job. He was taken into custody, and now is being charged with attempted murder. Now I'm sure Jack Thompson is going to jump all over this one, as to why he thinks video games are the reason to the worlds problems. But I think the bigger issue should be the psychological well being of this kid, and why he's so crazy about a PS3.

Hitman movie trailer: Oh boy!

It's hard not to have low expectations when dealing with movies that are based off video games. I've seen such disappointment with the likes of Doom and Resident Evil, that I rarely hold out much hope for them.

Well the trailer for Hitman has hit the net, and although it doesn't look bad, I still have those "this is gonna suck" feelings that I can't shake.

Man I hope I'm wrong!!!
