PlayStation addict diagnosed with 'mental detachment' |
Listed in: PS3, PSP Tags: Italy
Ó
An Italian 13 year-old boy was rushed to the hospital after his father found him in a shocked stupor. The kid, one Lorenzo Amato, didn't seem to respond to anything around him - he couldn't even speak. Cue panicked father, sound the sirens.Once rushed to the emergency room, the doctors first thought that the kid must have suffered from a stroke or some other serious brain impairment.
Eventually, the father described to the doctors that he discovered Lorenzo in this way after a PlayStation (not specified which kind of PlayStation) marathon for hours on end.
Antonio Buccoliero, a local politician in Italy, commented on the matter:
They eventually managed to take care of him once they understood that this was a strange kind of mental detachment connected to his PlayStation.
Again, they didn't seem to specify which kind of PlayStation.
From all indications, it seems that Lorenzo Amato has recovered from whatever mental shock he's been through (man, I wonder what he was playing at that time?). However, that doesn't mean he's on the greenlight. Apparently, he's scarred and traumatized for life.
The report explains that he asked his father to get rid of his PlayStation, saying that "I feel like throwing up if I even have to think about it."

And what system? They didn't even release enough info, but this is great material for Jack Thompson, fanboys, and mindless anti-video game douches.

A good question to ask would be if the kid was old enough to be playing that particular game (although I don't believe that the game had anything to do with his condition - unless he was actually playing Haze).

This will read in the minds of most of the masses as being the playstations fault....
Myself, I beleive it to be some deeper neurological disorder...what it stemmed from, who knows, could have been child abuse, could have been mcdonalds...could have (most likely) been genetics....
