Boy finds pile of rocks inside new DS box
April 24th, 2009 Posted in DS, News, Posted by BrianNow this is a bit strange. Normally, when one purchases a DS, he/she would probably expect to find a handheld inside. But for one 16-year-old, that was not the case at all. When Jodi Wykle’s son opened up his new DS box, a pile of rocks and a Chinese newspaper were found.
Wykle bought the system at Wal-Mart, but the store would not refund give a refund. According to the store, the item had never been returned and said that Nintendo should be contacted. However, it was her son’s birthday, so the lady bought another system. Just to be sure that rocks were not in the new DS box, Wykle forced Wal-Mart to look inside before making a purchase.
Wykle reached out to Nintendo, though this was of course Wal-Mart’s problem. Fortunately, after national representatives were contacted, she was refunded for her initial purchase and was also given a $20 gift card.
Thanks for the news tip, Jake.

I’m glad to know that Wal- Mart uses the technology given to find out the deeper truth of what actually goes in and out from their stores.
Thumbs up to the kid and his family.
Glad to hear everything was made right!

Well,
I think the issue here is that the boy’s momma is a toothless whore and I’m thinking maybe that the $138 would have been better spent on some paint for their might fine lookin’ POS trailer. Or, maybe some dental work for the momma whore.
Yep, if ya’ll are thinin’ these are smart people, nope your wrong. I think they might just be as dumb as a box of rocks!
