When the kid I was sitting for threw a fit over the Xbox, it took me approx. 20 seconds to unplug it and put it away. Doing what Dee said and taking the power cord would have been about 5.

I've heard of this being done in a few different instances and, in each one, the teens learned nothing. I find that kids can be pretty short-sighted. Honestly, sacrifice has to be freely given for it to mean anything. If it's done by force, the message is totally lost in a lot of cases.
