| 'Merry Xmas Isaac, I hope you've learned your lesson'
Parents don't often tell their children what they can expect to get for Christmas, but thanks to some creative parenting, one Toronto-area teen knows exactly what he won't be getting. That's because his dad is selling what would have been his Christmas present the popular video game Guitar Hero III on eBay, after he caught the 15-year-old smoking pot in the backyard of the family home.
