(among other reasons). Seems a Canadian father, and school teacher, has decided to educate his son on the dangers of smoking. On discovering him smoking pot, he decided the son did not deserve the rare Nintendo Wii game (Guitar Hero III) he had spent two weeks finding on the net. So the father auctioned it online - getting $10,420 from an Australian buyer. There was no mention if this represented a profit on the transaction, or if there were plans to split the proceeds with his son. But I guess that would depend on his notion of punishment ... is keeping the game from him the punishment? In which case it should be okay to share the money from the sale? Or is the "punishment" more far-reaching?
And still on the subject of cigarettes, a new advertising campaign by the NSW State Government is trying to get people to think about their "relationship" with cigarettes. "Imagine if smoking was a friend: they send you out in the middle of the night, keep you away from your mates, take a few hundred off you a month."
