See those "Like this post and cure Little Lisa's brain tumour" nonsense posts on Facebook? Well it looks like at least one of those silly chain things was actually true and DID accomplish what they said they would  Some guy got major hardcore scammed in a carnival game (fucking scumbag carnies) after losing over $2600 in a rigged game trying to win an Xbox Kinect. Now of course this was his own fault, he should have walked away after the first few games of losing - never trust a fucking carnie, least of all with your life savings - but he kept going and eventually lost everything. He did, however, get a monstrous fluffy dreadlocked banana as a consolation prize. He filed a police report about fraud and then... welllllll..... CollegeHumour posted this;
"If this post gets over 26,000 LIKES, we'll drive down and buy the banana for $2600k. If we get over 30,000 LIKES, we'll even buy him a Kinect ourselves"
And they did! At the time of writing this post, they got over 39,000 LIKES and true to their word---- they drove down to the guy and bought his banana off him, as well as giving him the Kinect Yes yes, the guy's a moron, I'm not defending him - anyone with half a fucking brain wouldn't have carried on, I just thought it was fun what CH did with the situation
