Xbox Moron Covered on Fox News

Ah, this story just gets more and more hilarious. Odds are you’ve heard the tale of the Xbox burglar who was dealt a solid hand of internet justice after the console’s rightful owner, Jesse McPherson, posted the culprit’s Xbox Live Gamertag online. The ensuing harassment from the internet community eventually prompted the kid to return the ill-gotten system. If you haven’t heard the story yet, well then Philadelphia’s local Fox News recently ran a segment on it, which you can view above. For some reason, it always warms my heart a little when tales of the internet community putting their collective efforts to good use are picked up by the mainstream media. Also it’s kind of funny to hear a TV news reporter refer to the kid as a “wise ass.”

Hilarious. I loved the part where they had the English guy phone up. Typical accent, of course!
You know when they say "my life is ruined"…well, kid, yours certainly is!

TV News is so pointless now a days, it always shows up days and sometimes months after you read about it on the internet or even the newspaper. I can't wait till people stop throwing money at and and phase it out.
