Did you get everything you wanted for Christmas? Twenty-six year-old Heath Blom didn't. He was given a Wii, got mad, and a fight broke out leading to a double arrest. Oh, the holidays.

Blom and his 24 year-old girlfriend, Randi Young, were both arrested for misdemeanor "domestic-related" assault charges. An altercation broke out over Christmas presents. Police arrived at the Blom residence on Christmas Day to discover the couple bruised and battered.

“Heath Blom wanted a remote-controlled airplane for Christmas, and not the Wii,â€￾ said Sgt. Kuffer Kaltenborn. Blom's grandmother gave him a Nintendo Wii, which he scoffed at, causing his girlfriend to call him names "for not liking the Wii."

According to Young, "He [Heath Blom] said he hated it. It hurt her [his grandmother's] feelings... When he didn’t get the plane, he got really upset. He acted like a 10-year-old kid."

A fight ensued with Blom supposedly dragging Young down two flights of stairs — by her hair. Blom claims Young punched him in the eye three times.

If only they went online and settled this like adults with a good old fashioned flame war.

This is a very weird story.
 
lol This is funny! Not weird! But the thing I don't get is, even though I hate the Wii, why would you prefer a toy plane over it?

It is a remote control Plane which is not a toy usually since the good ones are expensive, can fly very fast, do acrobatic stunts in the air, and run on Alcohol, or gas. They are more like hobbies and a way of life for some people. It gives some people the sensation of controlling a real plane without having to get a pilot license or buying a real plane.

Bit, I agree he did not realize the fun he can have with his Wii.

OH! I see the point of the problem now... Those planes must be expensive!
 
Yes, those planes cost about $500 and up if you buy those RC planes that have jet engines instead of propellers.
