China's Ministry of Health puts a stop to electro shock therapy for gaming addicts |
Ó
Said the report:
Kong Lingzhong, editor for a local Internet addiction-themed portal said to Beijing News, "We have no clue whether this freaky treatment has side effects." Yeah, we're guessing they do.More than 3,000 young people were tricked or forced into in to the four-month long course. To enroll their children, parents or guardians had to sign a contract acknowledging that they would be given electric shocks of up to 200 milliamperes. The treatment cost 6,000 yuan ($878) per month...
Shocks were given if patients broke any of the centerÂ’s 86 rules, which included prohibitions on eating chocolate, locking the bathroom door, taking pills before a meal, and sitting in Dr. Yang's chair without permission.
Details of the treatment first became public when former patients wrote about their experiences online...

That'll teach them *****ers to stay out of Dr. Yang's *****ing chair god dammit.
I agree that there are some people that could go as far as needing electroshock therapy, that dude in the WoW freak-out video is one of them.
For those not in the "know": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oepNCiHA1hM
Even the person noted in that video, I wouldnt say deserves electroshock therapy. Does he need professional help? of course, perhaps some meds. But honestly, what some people dont understand, is that many people play games, or even go on the internet, because they are bored and theres nothing to do. If people arent doing things like this, then what is the alternative? going out partying, perhaps drinking? In that respect, I dont feel this is yet an "addiction" as this article appears to intend to treat. In a way, it can possibly better a persons life as they choose to focus on something like this to entertain themselves rather then going out getting into trouble. Just my opinion.

Brzzzzzzzzzrrzz zzzz! Wuaaaaaarrrrrrr rr BOOM!
FATALITY!
i want to see all the 86 rules. you would figure thered be like 500 prohibitions if those up there are That ridiculous.
