Alrighty, things are officially out of hand. I have played a video game or two in my day, but it never occurred to me to sell my offspring...

Chinese Couple Sells All Three Kids to Play Online*Games - World News - ABC News Radio

Can you believe this?

I remember reading a story a while back where someone was killed for not handing over an "in game" sword.

Gee, I didn't know the Weekly World News was still around! Looks like they opened shop in China!

This has been floating around on the tech forums I frequent... I'll keep my comments on it to myself.

Why? Share with the class Ray.

It doesn't really surprise me someone would do this. We have parents here in the USA that leave their babies in cars or hotel rooms alone for hours while they go gamble in a casino. We have women who wrap their newborn babies in plastic bags and dump them in the garbage. Sadly, I am becoming callous to reports like these.

Quick, ban videogames. Clearly that MUST be the problem.
