Get this kid a PS3!
BFeld13 | 12:35 PM on 08.10.2007 12 comments




I like to stay current. The easiest way for me to do this is CNN. While watching the videos I came across an interview with Matty Lovo, age 9, who saved himself and his father from serious injury when his dad passsed out while driving. Matty quickly took control of the wheel and stopped the truck.

The fallout to this story had Matty doing multiple interviews with various media outlets. In the CNN interview, Kiran Chetry references how Matty always makes sure to mention that he thinks he deserves a PS3 for his actions. The kid knows how to get what he wants.

Call this another advertising miracle for Sony. Along with curing cancer, the PS3 now motivates kids to save their parent's lives. Of course, it could all be viral marketing. Make sure to check alliwantforsavingmydadslifeisaps3.com.

lol, love the name of the website ;)

I think the kids mistaken though, surely it should be "I want a Wii" to which someone should reply to him by showing him the way to the nearest toilet....... bah bum, yeah I know that was awful.

Actually, RivaOni, he did say that he aspires to be a cook, so maybe Cooking Mama would be good for him.

I wanted to be a magician and work for Chuck E. Cheese pizza when I was a kid. I'm halfway there... I own a deck of trick playing cards.
Professor Pew's Destructoid Blog
Maybe he wants a PS3 because his parents might actually give him an affordable 360 already? Aim beyond!
