Totally worth it

Are we supposed to feel bad for this guy? Why the fuck didn't he just stop and BUY an Xbox then?

I'm not sure what's worse. His entire life savings being $2600 or that he thought it was a smart idea to waste them on a banana with dreadlocks.

i dunno what hes complaining about thats a pretty huge banana and its got dreadlocks

My brain is full of fuck.

It really takes a idiot to keep going once you know you have gone over the items original price.

More idiots now at 9pm each single day, stay tuned for more!

Pick what's saddest, FP: 1.The fact that he spent his entire life savings on a carnival game. 2.The fact that his life savings would've bought many X-Boxes if he had just skipped the carnival game part. 3.The fact that his "life savings" was less than $3K.

I regret nothing -Henry Gribbohm

[QUOTE=johnsten;40481384]lol hi my world view is only based around video games and gaming tech!! cant wait until somebody equates this article to a scene from mass effect or some other game[/QUOTE] Maybe people are basing it on Video Games because he tried to win a fucking VIDEO GAME.

And now CollegHumour are apparently launching a campaign to buy his banana off of him for the price of his life savings [URL]http://www.collegehumor.com/article/6887256/save-banana-man[/URL]

[QUOTE=Desuh;40481406]He could have bought bitcoins and quadrupled his savings.[/QUOTE] why the fuck would he want 4 bananas with dredlocks

2600$ doesn't seem a whole lot for life savings..

Man I make more money in a month working a job on my spare time in the summer than this guy has saved for his entire life.

[QUOTE=johnsten;40481384]lol hi my world view is only based around video games and gaming tech!! cant wait until somebody equates this article to a scene from mass effect or some other game[/QUOTE] umm he never said anything of the sort he's just saying that he could of spent all that money on another video game system, seeing as he wasted it all trying to win...a video game system. please drop the passive aggressive insults if they don't actually work also i have that very same banana with dreadlocks but mine didn't cost me $2600
