By now I’m sure most people have heard of this clown, iTz LUPO. If not, go catch up

*sigh*

Some kid mods his Xbox to cheat in MW2, admits it in game in front of a moderator, then proceeds to tell said moderator that he fecked his grandma and various other insults only people under 15 think is cool. He gets banned and in the blink of an eye, changes personality to a regular guy, doing nothing wrong, who is being crushed by the mighty weight of corrupt Xbox moderators!

So, he then goes on to create a heavily edited video of his banning, taking great care to remove him admitting to cheating, and also removing the insults towards the moderator, making it look not only like he was banned for nothing, but as though the moderator was out of line…. and a bunch of idiots fell for it. Hook, line, and sinker.

The comments on this kids youtube channel defy logic and reason. Most posters have obviously checked their intelligence and spelling ability at the door, and instead are currently drooling on their keyboards, banging heads against monitors in outrage that someone could be banned for being an obnoxious, mouthy, little cheater.

The most common comment I have seen from his supporters regarding this.

“He paid for his Xbox, he paid for his game, he paid for Xbox live.. therefore he should be able to do what he wants with it”

Right, right… only, a lot of other people paid for their Xbox, MW2, and a Live subscription so they could play online without people glitching, cheating, and modding. See how that works?

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again.. if you want to cheat on the equipment you bought, go ahead and do it offline or in a LAN game where you don’t affect the games of people who also paid and expect a fair game. It’s really not that hard kids. You wont get banned, you wont annoy anyone, and you can muck around with cheats till your little hands cant hold a controller any more.

UPDATE:

Seems iTzLuPo has admitted to lying about everything. Deleted his Twitter account, removed his modding videos from youtubte.. all references to cheating/modding have gone.

Turns out, this has come about as a result of someone posting his personal details online.

While I will never condone cheating (if you are going to do it, take it offline where it does not bother any paying Live subscribers), posting peoples personal details online is pushing it too far.

I sincerely hope nobody takes it as far as to harass the kid or his family over this. He admitted he was in the wrong, I’d imagine he’s feeling pretty worried at the moment. Time to move on guys. Internet bullying is no solution to anything.
