Revrant2394, you're an idiot. Even if you don't want or like the Playstation 3, why would you turn down an opportunity to make an easy $1000 or at a bare minimum get a free DVD/CD/BluRay player? Is your fanboyism that extreme that you'll eschew all common sense just to slam Sony? You better not be an XBox 360 fan, because THAT would be irony.]]>Dec 7th 2006 12:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/

But we know from stats on child abuse, neglect, health and education that it isn't true. And it gives us a clue to the character of the society. If it won't take care of its own kids, then little wonder it's happy to keep foreign kids locked up in sweatshops making XXXL clothing for its own fat ass.

The yolk here is on KDWB's face. Its little prank--essentially, pissing on those who can't afford PS3s for the amusment of those who can, and then dressing it up in false pieties--is pretty typical right wing fare. You seem to have fallen for it hook, line and sinker.]]>Dec 7th 2006 1:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/

If this is real, then who in the freak would turn over their one month old infant to a bunch of stupid DJ strangers for 24 hours just to play some idiotic game?!? Give me a break.

All this does is reaffirm that so many people you'll ever meet in your lifetime have no functioning brain, zero standards, and priorities all blown to hell. Stories like these, on some level, just continue to deteriorate many peoples' faith in humanity.

Absolutely pathetic.]]>Dec 7th 2006 2:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/

If the person can't take the responsibility of a child then I have a simple solution: Take-the-frickin'-pill. With all the whole "It makes you lose your sex drive in the long term" thing is a good thing, imho. People need to get their heads out of the ground and realise that a living thing isn't just 'something to do', yet this is all I've been hearing.
Sadly, there's alot of people who wouldn't mind giving their child to a complete stranger for a short while, and this also applies to the sick people who'd trust a baby sitter. I'm sure alot of people read the news, but there's hardly anyone who understands it, it seems.]]>Dec 7th 2006 7:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/
The insinuation by your article that these parents are in some way 'negligent' are not backed up the fact that these parents would have taken a babysitter for 24hrs to receive a 400dollar + console (UK here, I'm guessing the price).

A child under the care of the whole station would surely have meant better supervision than the usual horny teen aching to have her goth boyfriend round - typical of babysitters. Or some sweeter-than-pie 60yr old nanny who really couldn't care less about your child.

A 24hr babysitter would be welcomed for Free by the most loving parents, who could do with some well deserved time off. I have 2 friends at present bringing up young babies, and the work they put into the child's care is unrelenting.

Negligence has legal definitions obviously not understood by the author. Typical scaremongering half-brained journalism.]]>Dec 7th 2006 4:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/Dec 7th 2006 7:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/Dec 7th 2006 8:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/
Kid: Can i push the button?
DJ: No
Kid: Please?
DJ: No
Kid: PLEAAASSSEEEE? PLEAAAASSSSEEEEE?????
DJ: NO
Kid: What's this button do? *press*
DJ: Stop! Get out of here!
Kid: I'll leave you alone if you give me a PS3.
DJ: Ok, whatever, here!

Oh, and too the person that said they wouldn't take a free PS3... moron. I would NEVER consider buying one, but if someone gave me one i'd take it. If it didn't fit my tastes, I'd flip it on ebay for $1000. ]]>Dec 7th 2006 8:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/
If you thought about it for 5 seconds, there's no way, even if they wanted to do it, that the station would OK it.

As one of the guys from the station said though, there were a few calls that were a little sad of people who were willing to do it because then they could sell the PS3 and have money to pay bills, but still, how could anyone even consider giving someone else their child for a PS3.]]>Dec 7th 2006 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/Dec 7th 2006 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/
The times that I have listened to their morning show, I felt like I was back in Junior High. The maturity level of all people involved with the show is non-existant.

This "joke" is on par with the usual crap that goes on with the radio station. I wouldn't shed a tear if they fell of the face of the earth, but at least, they are a top 100 station and owned by Clear Channel. They are not going away where.

At least they got rid of their worst DJ, Tony Fly. Though, he moved to another station for more money and a morning show. Which that station is no better than K-DWEB, but in a different way. He was and still is a piece of crap. He did nothing but rag on how bad Minnesota men are, but he in fact is why men get a bad wrap.]]>Dec 7th 2006 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/would-you-trade-your-child-for-a-ps3/Jon
