Boy grabs knife after dad unplugs video game
HONG KONG, China (Reuters) -- A 13-year-old Hong Kong boy flew into a rage and threatened his parents with a kitchen knife after his father pulled the plug on his computer game, police said on Monday.
"The boy's mother told police the boy was thrashing about with a knife. Nobody was charged," a police spokeswoman said.
The father managed to overpower the boy and no one was injured in the fracas early on Sunday morning, a local newspaper reported.
The father pulled the plug on the game at around midnight when the boy refused to stop playing and go to bed.

Do games make kids fat and violent? When kids do stupid shit like this, it makes the entire gaming world look like a joke.
