Man Caught Smuggling Cocaine In Wii Exercise Pad

111710wii.jpg These days, it's getting harder and harder to find a good way to smuggle your drugs through airports. The NYPD has finally figured out that you store drugs in your underwear. They know all about the drugs in your hangers, and the drugs in the fibers of your clothing. And now they've finally sniffed out the drugs in your Nintendo Wii exercise pad and carrying case. Jean Vargas, 23, of Paterson, was caught on Sunday at JFK with more than six pounds of cocaine, valued at $280,000, stuffed inside his Wii pad. He faces up to 40 years in prison. "Smugglers are cunning," said Customs spokesman John Saleh, but obviously not cunning enough to use their Xbox.

  • of course, use wii or xbox to transport the drugs is not cunning, we normal people can think out that is foolish.

    40 YEARS?

    Meanwhile, if you work for the NYPD, you can drunkenly kill a pedestrian with your car, stall the investigation with your buddies while your BAC drops toward legal levels, then get a slap on the wrist for leaving the scene of an accident. I'm glad we've always injected common sense into our legal system!
