Guitar Hero Knee Injury




This jackass broke his knee playing Guitar Hero and now wants to try and get an endorsement deal with Red Octane. I'm pretty sure it's a joke but funny none the less.

A Letter to Red Octane Games

Dear Red Octane Games,

I have terrible news. While I am in love with your game, it has caused me great harm. Guitar Hero broke my knee. Its true, while playing your game on July 3rd and shredding a massive lick I pivoted into a great thrashing stance and my knee gave way. After several doctor visits and x-rays it later turned out my rocking had knocked an inch and a half piece of bone off of my knee and it was now floating about the inside of my leg.

I ended up going under the knife to reattach the smaller piece of bone back to my leg and now, more than a month later, I am still unable to walk. I am however gearing up from a triumphant comeback in early September to show others on my block I can still rock twice as hard as them.

This is a story that must be told. Imagine being able to tell your customers that a young man in Omaha, NE rocked Guitar Hero so hard his own bones crumbled. Boys would cheer and mothers would cringe.

Maybe an endorsement deal? I would be like Subway’s Jared. Maybe we could do something as simple as Red Octane supporting the local Guitar Hero championship my friends and I are setting up. You could send some banners and an advanced copy of Guitar Hero 2 our finalists could play…. kind of like in the Wizard when they played Mario Brothers 3.

Well I’ve attached 2 photos of me suffering after my surgery to really tug your heartstrings. I think we should talk about this. You can reach me at jimmy@guitarherobrokemyknee.com or by phone at 402-XXX-XXXX.

Yours in Rock,

Jimmy Winter
