I dunno if this belongs here, but it's too fucking hilarious not to post:

I have to say, I find this pretty damn funny. I know video games will catch flack for this, but damn if that's not a funny story. I bet that boy is a god among his class mates.

Ralph Hardy, a 13 year old from Newark, Texas confessed to ordering an extra credit card from his father's existing credit card company, and took his friends on a $30,000 spending spree, culminating in playing "Halo" on an Xbox with a couple of hookers in a Texas motel.
The credit card company involved said it was regular practice to send extra credit cards out as long as all security questions are answered.
The escort girls who were released without charge, told the arresting officers something was up when the kids said they would rather play Xbox than get down to business.
When police arrived at the motel they found $3,000 in cash, numerous electronic gadgets, an Xbox video console with numerous games, and the two local escort girls.
Asked why he ordered two escorts, Ralph said he thought it was the thing to do when you win a "World of Warcraft" tournament.
The $1,000 a night girls sensing something up played "Halo" on the Xbox with the kids, instead of selling their sexual services.

I know, right?
That kid seriously rules.
He'll do well.

For $30,000 I'd expect them to buy a PS3 or at least a 360.
(Please do not gift. My game bank is already full.)
Maybe not the greatest, but it's up there.

Thats what I thought.
Seriously, this kid is badass. I was a smartass when I was 13, but this kid is unreal. I'd totally buy him a beer when he was old enough if I ever ran into him.
If I were the kid's father, I'd be pissed as shit. As awesome as this is, it's still $30,000 blown in a few days.
I just hope the credit card company can't hold the $30,000 over the guy's head.
You hookers can't discriminate against us because we're midgets or the government will be mad.
I wonder how much of it he could make back by selling the stuff he bought on eBay with this story attached to it.
It was more than likely an escort service, in which case, over the phone, this would be a pretty plausible claim.
Well, legitimate "escort services" do have to follow state and federal discrimination laws. And if they were $1,000 a night, odds are these weren't girls from down on the corner.

If he had been playing GTA, would he have to kill the hookers afterwards to get his cash back?
This took place in Texas. I can promise you I know the exact response - cut a switch from the tree, you're not going to school for a week.
"Furiously Proud" I'd wager!
With blackjack, ah forget the whole thing.

Haha, that was the very first thought that popped into my head upon reading the article.
On the other, I want to salute him.
If I was his dad, I'd ground him until he was 18, but I'd secretly laugh my ass off whenever I got the chance.
Something dosen't add up in the story... a card company would free the account with 30k being racked up in a couple days, or call the father to say hey, are these legit?
At 13? If a kid had gone to my middle school and told people that he played Halo with hookers, he would have been worshiped.
Oh, state of Texas. This is why I love and concurrently hate you so.
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
Will Smith to play Ralph confirmed
Ah, to be 13 again.
Reginald VelJohnson to play hooker number 1
EDIT: I would watch that movie every day for the rest of my life.
Well...close enough really but we won't go into it
What the heck dude, if you're going to be completing on Legendary, you need quality support in tow.
