Who lets a 3 year old on the net without supervision? Answers on a postcard...

I'd love it if he bought 9ks worth of hardcore

Sounds more like;

Mother buys car....Father doesn't approve, so both come up with a plan. The whole family gets on TV/the internet/papers....and the little boy becomes a 5 minute superstar.

Maybe i'm just a cynic though.

That's exactly what I was thinking, people come up with stupid stories all the time when they bid on my stuff and change their minds, really hacks me off that you then have to pay ebays fees TWICE to sell it

same goes for nigerians, damn fools

The car is going to get more publicity, coulda been a stunt by the seller. They think "Crap, no-ones buying it, we need to get people to look, I know lets hire a woman miles away to..."

Nigeria is what happens when a country has an excellent educational system, is well connected to the internet, and has no opportunity. Smart, well educated people screwing whitey for a living online

DXR_13KE · 26th Sep 2006, 16:40

there is no car called Nissan Figero.

there is a Nissan Figaro

and for a child to use the internet without supervison is Fu...... much lame.

dire_wolf · 26th Sep 2006, 16:43

thats what they meant you pedantic git

DXR_13KE · 26th Sep 2006, 16:49

i am just trying to be acurate.

hmmmm and the car is rather nice..... 810 kg with 75 hp and 987 cc and its turbocharged. it seems to be fast.......

glaeken · 26th Sep 2006, 16:55

Hmm...sounds like a story to me. I'm very doubtful if a toddler(even if he is a super genius) could perform this stunt.

I agree with the first suspicion part but the latter part ... SOME Nigerians are criminals just as some from every country in the world are criminals. Some others from all countries are great people.

it was on my local news and they had video footage of the child randomly a laptop arround. Of course its true!!

or... more like, hubby is a homosexual and bought a bright pink fiat wotsitcalled as relief to his lady brain leaks and when wifey found out that someone bought a bright pink girly car the hubby pointed the finger at the toddler. Then of course begins the process in which every disgusting "i wanna be famous" family trys their best to fit themselves into the news between important things about the gordon blair lovefest and the weather.....

i hate this country..

Oh, read certain newspapers and you will.

I'm sure it'll be "Princess Diana came back from the dead and brought a bright pink car for me" from the express tomorrow. Ridiculous.

DeX · 26th Sep 2006, 22:08

Actually the kid didn't bid in the car and win, he simply pressed the But It Now button. Considering how easy ebay makes it to buy and pay for stuff with just a few clicks I definately wouldn't put it beyond a 3 year old kid. Anyway just look at the car, not many people would accidentally buy a pink Nissan Figaro but you can imagine the attraction it would have to a 3 year old kid. And lastly who would invite round the BBC to their home after making up such a bold story up?

Bloody cynics...

will. · 27th Sep 2006, 10:58

um.... do you live in... well, any developed country really?

Of course people make things up, evey numpty in this country wants to be famous just like their idol paris hilton....

thats hot
