I remember this kid giving up on the PIXX game play and just shouting out obscenities. The game announcer didn't stop him. He might not have heard the kid cursing or had no means to cut him off. I was both shocked and intrigued. Its hard to believe more kids didn't try to get on just to shout obscenities. Still, a cool concept for its time.

Oh, I wish someone had a recording of that. I wonder if it was planned or if they were so frustrated that they just started cursing. Whatever the case, that kid, if he lived in my town, would have been a hero in my school the next day.

I think because it was happening live, they didn't have a seven second delay button to dump the cursing. I got a kick out of it and thought more of it would happen. Risks of live TV .

I would have wanted to try to win, but that kid weighed his options and decided that broadcast profanity was more important. That never would have even occurred to me.
