Internet addicts in jail-break

[Malcolm]

A group of mutinous internet addicts have staged a break-out from a Chinese rehabilitation clinic after being unable to stomach a grueling routine of 5am wake-up calls and military style exercise routines.

The 14 addicts, aged between 15 and 22, tied their instructor to his bed before making a bid for freedom from the treatment centre in Huai'an, in the eastern Jiangsu province, writes the Telegraph Full Story

Fortunately for you, you have obviously not sampled the evils that are MMO's, I used to be a victim of Eve-online and probably constituted an addict.... just finished uni, instead of getting a job, or even drawing the dole... i played eve, copious amounts internet spaceships pew pew.

The defining point was one Thursday night, I declined an offer to go to the pub on Saturday cos "I had an op"
I knew there was something seriously wrong right then, but withdrawal was not easy!!!

Oh the pain >.<
