China just became the first country to make internet addiction an official psychological disorder, and has even opened up treatment centres to help those who are afflicted. According to Dr. Tao Ran, the "leading expert" in this field, anyone who spends 6:07 hours a day online may have developed an over-dependence on the internet. Dr. Tao also somehow discovered that 76% of juvenile crime in Beijing can be traced back to Al Gore's series of tubes. On the upside, 80% of addicts are curable with 3-month rehab sessions.
Brings to mind the guy who died two years ago in an internet cafe after a three-day gaming binge.
