Kid Petitions His Mom On Facebeook For "Black Ops"

Hey, kids, want a new game but your parents aren't sure? Just give them a long list of weird-ass reasons you need it.

None

Seriously, what's better than this? Eleven-year-old kid wants COD: Black Ops, mom decides to ask her Facebook friends if it's appropriate (which—not to get all C. Everett Koop about it or anything—it's NOT), kid responds with a surprisingly cogent memo justifying the purchase. Man, when we were 11, all we had was a hand-me-down Atari 2600 and three lousy quarters, which got us exactly one game of Bump 'N' Jump and one game of spendy-ass Gauntlet. AND THESE KIDS GET HIGH-DEF FUTURISTIC SHIT AND THE ABILITY TO SEXUALLY HARASS EACH OTHER ONLINE. Where's the justice in that? [via Reddit]
