Wait, what?
Blackstreet singer Teddy Riley has been hit with a restraining order after his daughter accused him of abusing her and her sister with the help of a Rock Band guitar. Apparently, Riley felt that Christmas was about kicking the sh*t out of girls. What a nice man.
According to the allegations, the 43-year-old singer spent most of December 23 stomping, bashing and punching his children. Taja Riley claims she suffered "bashes to temple, contusion on face" and "pain in the knee" as a result of the attack.
The game angle comes in here -- Riley clearly felt that he wasn't getting his point across when he was punching his daughters in the head and felt he needed a weapon, clearly to defend himself against such dangerous opponents as young girls. He picked up a Rock Band guitar and threatened to kill somebody with it. Not to make light of the situation, but it would have been amazing to see him attempt that.
In any case, the dickless singer has to say 100 yards away from his kids and is due for a hearing in January. Hopefully he won't get the Chris Brown "you can kick the f*ck out of whoever you like because you've sold some albums" treatment.

stuff like this should be kept out of the news so that nobody finds out about it... all it can do now is validate to his fans that beating your kids is 'cool'...

I don't know who is the worse person, you for saying that or me for laughing so hard I nearly fell out of my chair for like five minutes when I read it.
Guess you just caught me on the right day. Hit me way funnier than it probably should have.
Hit me like a guitar upside the head.
That'll learn him.
No diggity
I'm gonna smack you up
(Smack you up)
Wait...I'm not even going to wish good luck for him. It's bad enough we have people TRYING to make video games look bad--this just asks for more of that. But that's not the worst part, it's that people were influenced by this mistake of a "human being". I hope that's not the case now.
...Is it just me or do you pick the most whacked out stories on video games to blog on?? Either way, it's fantastic! :D
