NH Couple Arrested Over Wii Gift

Boyfriend Wanted a Plane Instead

Most people, upon receipt of a Nintendo Wii, would scream in joy and hug their family and friends for days.

But New Hampshire residents aren’t like the rest of the world, apparently.

A couple there was arrested and charged with assault.  26 year old Heath Blom and 24 year old Randi Young allegedly beat each other up over a Christmas gift Ms. Young gave to her boyfriend.

What Blom got was a Nintendo Wii.  He wanted, acording to the AP, an RC airplane from his grandparents valued at $1,000.

Young allegedly hid the Wii once Blom started criticizing it as a gift. Those criticisms allegedly turned to insults, which then allegedly turned to punches and a full blown fight.

Young claims Blom dragged her down two flights of stairs by the hair.  And did we mention…this all allegedly happened on Christmas day?  Bah humbug.

No word on the next step for both in the legal system.  Perhaps someone should have told them that they should have saved the Brawl for…well, the actual game.
