Andy Brown from Littlehampton, West Sussex picked up a used copy of Fight Night Round 4 from his local Blockbuster for his four year old son Riley. While Riley was happy at getting a new video game he was confused when he found a small bag which contained a strange substance behind the instruction manual.

He'd only been playing the game ten minutes when he came down with the bag in his hand and asked, 'Daddy, what's this?'" his father said. "I checked and realized. I was horrified and took it off him straight away. But what if he'd thought it was sweets, and started munching away? It doesn't bear thinking about

The bag contained some marijuana and tobacco which the previous owner had obviously fogotten about when it came to trading the game in.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened. A year ago Richard Thornhill purchased a used copy of Grand Theft Auto 4 from Gamestation only to find 4 tablets of ecstasy inside the manual.

Actually, if he started eating it, the kid would end up spitting it out. Common logic would also need to play a part in that. "how many games come with free food?" None, if there's anything in there that shouldn't be....don't eat it.

I once opened a DVD- PC game case and a spider was in there. i wonder if druggies are putting drugs (and maybe spiders) into game cases for a laugh, or are actually more idiotic than we first thought?

It's a 4 yo we're talking about. Some of them eat dirt from their gardens, so the dad was correct thinking his kid could eat that ... =P But yeah, he would have simply spit that out.

Nah, I just have loads of friends with small kids.
 
I'm more concerned about the father buying his 4 year-old son a PEGI 16-rated boxing game. And in the other case, a father allowed his 12 year-old son to play the BBFC 18-rated GTA 4.

Although it is amazing how the shop staff didn't find anything.

your be amazed how many perants come in to buy games for kids that are way to young for them

i read about this in the paper and thought that store seems really familier and then i realized when i got to work -i work for blockbusters- there acutally in our district.

i kinda see how it might have been missed if it was tucked away right inside the manual when i would have been harder to see, but you would have thought i would have slipped out in all the times the box got open, once to check the disc, when they made up the trade, and when they sold it.
 
Marijuana and Tobacco? It's hardly like the kid is going to get a lolly pop and dib-dab that stuff. Mistakable for pesto at best.

edit: Ready-made pun about memory loss and cannabis in 3, 2, 1...
 
I've met 6 year olds who play GTA, and I think the first time I came across it was when I was 12.

Most parents I've met who have never played a game in their lives just here the word "game" and assume its suitable for kids. One of which actually thought the age rating on the box was a difficulty measurement.

Waaa? Mistake it for pesto? What sort of pesto (or pot/tobacco) are you getting to mistake one for another.... For once things most pesto I've seen is either Red or Green.
