Shit happens.

I say we ban video games if they allow this stuff to happen.

Shit happens.
Yeah that's how you were born- ZING!

Anyway, I don't really get this story.
He put the controller in his mouth for a bit and then 'BOOM! LIGHTING!'?.....
Was he outside?

SNES controllers are not safe in thunder is all I've learnt.

People blame video games for everything :(

My mouth was swollen, but it's ok. I ate twice today.

When I'm showing someone else how to do something on their controller, the first place I think to put my controller is obviously in my mouth.

Who wants to put the controller on the floor, table, lap, etc...hell no, the mouth is where it's at.

Granted you can't explain the shit you're showing them how to do but it doesn't matter because you have SNES controller wedged in your mouth.

This comes to mind...

Raiden thought he was trying to cheat.
