In news of the overindulgent, a British mother spent over $200 chasing down her 11-year-old son so that she could give him the GameBoy that she forgot to pack into his suitcase. My favorite part of the story is the total irony involved — the boy was on a field trip to a remote island so that he could learn about living without modern amenities. (There’s now a silly MetaFilter thread about this.)
