Madden NFL 09 is totally redneck sh*t, according to copy found in Wal-Mart photo

The above image is the sight that greeted one young boy as he opened the first game purchased for his brand new Xbox 360. Having bought the system and game with his own Christmas money, the lad eagerly expected to be playing Madden NFL 09, before being faced with the grisly truth -- he'd actually bought some redneck sh*t.

"When he opened the game all I heard was 'WHAT IS THIS' and he ran to me and showed me the game and to my surprise this is what I saw," explains Michael, the father of the boy. "I immediately called Walmart and asked for a manager and explained to her what we found. She asked if it was sealed and I told her yes with the security stickers and everything.

"... After closer inspection of the plastic that was wrapped around the game case I found scotch tape. I can only assume that someone purchased this game swapped the disk then returned it to Wal-Mart."

He called the Wal-Mart manager and seemed to have everything resolved, with a likely replacement lined up. At least we all have a brand new idea for something to do on a boring weekend.

I can only assume the thief's inscription was referring to his own act instead of any name-calling. Because people who steal form wal-mart love irony.

That's clearly labeled "REDNECK SH II," short for Redneck Shooter II, a US reskin of Otomedius Gorgeous starring those unfunny guys from Blue Collar Comedy Whatever.

... if only rednecks play Madden, what does that make someone who wants it so much they have to steal it?

That cd is worth way more than Madden 09, the kid should be proud to have found this gem.

Someone tried to save this young lad as best they could by going into the future but now we are ALL doomed.

That is the price you pay at Wal-Mart. They have one of the most forgiving return policies of any company out there. The lesson here? Look at what you buy people. The Wal-Mart Associate Drones will not mind getting you a different copy that actually has shrink wrap on it.

Please don't buy stuff at Wal Mart. Every time you do you support communism.
