UPDATE: This X-box story was reportedly created by an online marketer to manufacture "black hat SEO" for his client. It's a fake and we're dumb, but not much dumber than everyone else on the 'net who fell for it (alright, don't answer that). The story is still pretty entertaining, right?

Calling all Hollywood agents. We're already working on our treatment to turn this story into a coming-of-age flick: A teenager from Texas has been convicted of ordering a credit card in his father's name and using it to pay for prostitutes.

Ralph Hardy, 13, has been convicted of fraud and was sentenced to a three-year community order for taking his friends on a $30,000 shopping spree that culminated with junk food and a round of "Halo" on Xbox with a couple of hookers in a motel room.

Police were notified by a concerned deliveryman who had dropped off supplies of Dr. Pepper, Fritos and Oreos at the motel room. The kids asked the man where they could "score some chicks," indicating that they'd made a bundle at a "World of Warcraft" tournament and were willing to pay for some relaxation. When police arrived, they found the boys with $3,000 in cash, lots of electronics and video-game equipment and two $1,000-per-night hookers.

The escorts, who were released without charge, told police they knew something was up when the kids were more interested in Xbox than sex.
