Link: Nose Bleeds: World of Warcraft
I just stumbled upon an article titled, World of Warcraft ‘more addictive than cocaine’. Apparently, the popular computer game World of Warcraft has been described as “more addictive than cocaine” after it sent a teenager into convulsions after he played non-stop for 24 hours.
Two things. First—great title. Dropping ‘cocaine’ will get anyone’s attention, whether it’s true or not. Second—more addictive than cocaine? A software company, comprised of humans just like you and I, built this game from nothing. And this very same company profits millions of dollars when people are apparently suffering from serious addiction problems. Why are some forms of cocaine legal, but not all? Sounds like we’ve got another drug war on our hands (except this time, it isn’t the Mexicans).
P.S. Get a life, nerds!
