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!
Link: Report: Ortiz, Ramirez tested positive in 2003
And just when I thought it was all over—just when I was hoping baseball was turning around in the public’s eye, this report has to come out:
NEW YORK (AP) — David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez, the sluggers who led Boston to a pair of World Series championships, were among the more than 100 Major League Baseball players who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003, according to a report in The New York Times.
At this point, why do these things become major news stories? Of course I think it’s a bad thing, and I don’t want baseball players to be doping, but bringing up the past—especially people’s favorite players, doesn’t really do much good in the end. We still need to move forward and prevent drug use in the future. Let’s leave it at that, shall we?
