| Nearly a month and a half ago we had carried a bit on a rehab clinic that was opening for video game addicts. Well, the clinic's now officially open and offers an 8 week program that's guaranteed to put you off games once and for all. Hear the heart-felt story of one such retard, oops I mean addict named Tim, who got himself admitted into this clinic. "I lived in my room. I have 4 televisions around me, with one X-Box 360, PlayStation 2, X-Box 1 and a Game Cube and a lap-top, where I can play online games. I have no social life, I have no friends - only cyber-friends". In fact, Tim was so addicted to games he never left his seat, even to pee. "I take an empty bottle and I pee into it." Heart-breaking stuff yes? (Can we have this guy on Oprah please?) But now, thanks to this miraculous clinic, Tim now has a new lease on life and can actually walk to the loo to take a piss. Hallelujah! In case you're wondering, how they do it, it's very simple; "The treatment involves a period of 'detox' when patients are not allowed access to any computer games. This is followed by group therapy and sessions with psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists." So if you feel you have a problem like little Tim's, kindly enroll yourself now. |
