Default Video-Game detox

I found this in the local nespaper.

seems kinda ridiculous to me but I know a few people who could actually use it.

I have no social life, but thats just because I don't like people. It has nothing to do with my video games.

My friend could sure use that detox though. He skips school just to play WoW.

I hate to say it but there are people who seriously need this stuff. Like the guy who died because he refused to stop playing WoW and died of a starvation/sleep deprivation combination.

"Bakker already has treated 20 video-game addicts, aged 13 to 30, since January. Some show withdrawal symptoms, such as shaking and sweating, when they look at a computer."

I had to laugh when I read this part, if you are having this type of reaction to being in the presence of any piece of hardware...its definately time for a "group intervention"..or "a swift kick in the a$$ to get a job and a life"

Hmm, maybe their heads are a little too close to the monitor or something, or they should stop licking the power supply cables.
