To the right, Adam McConnell, three years old. To the left, a broken 42-inch plasma. The joy of breaking the TV after losing at Wii sports, priceless.

This is a real case. 3 year old Adam, smashed his father’s plasma while his dad went to the kitchen to get him something to drink. It should be really fun to hear “two big bangs”. Why he did this? Because he lost a tennis game playing Wii Sports. It wasn’t a slipping Wiimote so no reason for a lawsuit here, just the boy’s rage.

Now that really makes me think what was the little boy drinking? Maybe whiskey in the morning and some vodka in the evening? He’s now banned from playing Wii, for two weeks.

“I left him playing the tennis game and went to the kitchen to get him a drink. Then I heard two big bangs. When I ran back in Adam was using the handset to smash the TV screen. It was a 42in plasma screen which cost around £1,000 - the whole front is wrecked.

I think he lost a game and he just cracked up. I went out to the table and put my head in my hands, while I thought about how I could explain to a three- and-a-half year old what he had done wrong. I ended up asking him how he’d feel if I broke his Spiderman.

He is so independent and he already has a real competitive streak, but I didn’t realize he would lose his temper like that. He could be the next John McEnroe - he had a great swing.”
