A Banana With Dreadlocks: A Study In Misery

If this guy actually lost his life savings playing "Tubs Of Fun," that's sad. And if the game was rigged, that's fraud! Also, I think that banana is offensive.

Man Loses Life Savings ($2,600) to Win Banana With Dreadlocks

This guy is a hero. Also, that banana looks stoned and I'm pretty sure that is racist.

Man they let anyone right articles anymore. What is up with offensive and racist bananas? Sensitive much

Not sure who is more stupid the writers here or the dude that blew his $2600 life savings trying to win that banana. Call it even, all stupid.

That dude has some huuuuge man boobs

And he wanted to win a Kinect. Dude you can get them for $40 or lower on Clist...yikes!!

 

[BIATCHabutuka]

yea i forgot the idiocy of him trying to win the kinect and settling for the banana with dreadlocks.

And I thought I placed next to no value in Federal Reserve Notes. This guy just doesn't give a fuck.

Sometimes you just gotta sack up and spend 60 times the price to get what you want, but instead of getting what you want, you get a rastanana. C'est la vie.

Somehow the mental picture I garnered just seeing the brief readings in the first post matched the picture on the story

"For once in my life I happened to become that sucker," said Gribbohm.

I think somehow it won't be limited to "once" for this guy.

 

[BIATCHabutuka]

I know. When you have more invested in tattoos than you do in your life savings, bad decisions and being the sucker are just assumed at that point.

Swindled by a carny. Who the fuck saw that coming?

 

[Saw31]

The best part is that that carney's friends were breaking into his car while all this was going on...

How is this not a story in the Onion?!

It's that tiniest sliver of plausibility that makes the Onion work.

I cannot believe this did not occur in Zanesville.

Like someone in Zanesville has $2600.
