Boy blames dad for £12,000 credit spree

Dad should call the police and report that his son stole his credit card. Have the police show up and then watch the little girly-boy make a mess in his new, lovely clothes.

[Capriole]

How terribly sad. I mean that without sarcasm. We are laughing about it but the whole story is a ghastly human tragedy. This boy is going to have a wretched, worthless life.

GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY.

What kind of BOY wants Luis Vuitton BAG?

--Friggin' WEIRD....

This kid is definitely gay. I was thinking Level 5 Metrosexual as soon as I saw the title. The article text left no doubt. The photo iced it. Gay, spoiled, and dangerous. Let the parents worry about it!

Disgusting little fa......umm.......maggot.

I was thinking the same thing. And the picture just gives it away.

Dad should call the police and report that his son stole his credit card.

A) "He just grunts into the newspaper...."
B) "And she likes my clothes."

You couldn't make this stuff up.
If I read it in a novel I'd declare it inept at suspending my disbelief.

Yeah, and it cost £544. What a maroon. Everybody knows you can get one of those from a street vendor for around £10. :-/

If I had pulled a sunt like that at his age I would have taken off and kept going hard.

Yeesh! what a little twerp.

A good little liberal: its not my fault I overspent my dad's credit card to the tune of $22,000 its dear old dad's!!!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

He looks like Chelsea Clinton with short, straight hair and a bad dye job.

This kid is either gay or a heavy duty metrosexual shop-aholic. No normal boy wants Prada and the other crap he bought on his spending spree..

[goldstategop]

A Limey metrosexual.

Have you ever been to a tony boutique?

[mhking]

A TEENAGER who stole his father’s credit card, flew to Rome and spent £12,000 on designer goods and smart hotels has blamed his parents for not taking him to the January sales.

He's not too old to get a spanking.

("We had never seen The Belt. But we had heard about it. The Belt was nine feet long. Eight feet wide. And it had hooks in it that would rip the meat out of ya if it ever hit ya...")

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

Brooks Brothers is as upscale as I've ever set foot into

Is it just my imagination, or is he wearing lipstick in this picture?

I have three sons, ages 19, 15 and 11. As much as I laughed at this story and a lot of your posts it also made me think about how fortunate I am to have the sons I have. I feel some compassion for his father.

[Bikers4Bush]

Why do they use "he" and "his" when referring to "it" in the article?

After all, it most clearly is an "it".

I don't know, I'm trying to figure out if he's going bald at 17 or just bleached the front of his hair.

How embarrassing to have a son like that that stole your credit card and then bought all those trashy "lovely" things. I'd either hold a garage sale with it, or just burn it in front of a shrieking disinherited soon-to-be street person.
