Title: Robber Attacks Woman With Playstation
Post by: shanafan on January 02, 2003, 12:22:00 AM

A 69-year-old woman was hit on the head with a computer game console as she tried to stop her son being attacked by a burglar.

Maureen Palmer, 69, found her 41-year-old son wrestling with the intruder at the family home in Greystoke Road, Slough, Berkshire.

Mrs Palmer cried out "nobody hurts my son", but the man hit her over the head with the PlayStation that he had just stolen from the living room.

Mrs Palmer's husband, Tony, 70, also tried to stop the burglar by hitting him over the head with a wooden stool, but the man escaped.

Mr Palmer said the stool just splintered into pieces: "It didn't affect the burglar at all, he hardly moved an inch."

Mrs Palmer suffered an injured eye and forehead and was taken to Wexham Park Hospital, Slough, for treatment.

I just think it's funny that some 41-year-old guy is living with his parents. Sure, he's got a PS (PS2, maybe), but no girlfriend or life. Whatta role model. =-)

lol... if it was an XBox she'd probably have a fractured skull... Has anybody else found the warnings found in the controller instructions about "if the xbox falls on somebody, especially a small child, it may cause serious injury" amusing?

Yeah, that's pretty funny. The first time I saw it I thought I was imagining it, but I looked again and it was real. Isn't that kinda obvious that it would hurt though?

Shanafan, that story is pretty funny, where did you hear it?

just imagine, if you drop a gamecube it makes a small plasticy noise, if you drop an xbox (and believe me i have god damn it) its like an avalanche. The sound of crushing plastic and metal...its terrible. I could understand an xbox falling off a shelf and killing a 5 year old.

Kinda reminds me when I was reading a really outdated computer tech magizine... talking about how some people used to build their Amigas into briefcases. Apparently, these 'briefcase Amigas' were also used as weights, shields against leathal weapondry like guns, and a really good club. =-)
