Re: It's a Mad Mad World
The story can be found here.
Epilepsy really has nothing to do with the situation for the story. I have it. I play games. Am I an addict and suicidal? Nope. The guy was basically a social outcast. He lived on his own, was overweight and worked for a pizza place. He spent hours upon hours playing Everquest. His mom tried to help him but couldn't. His mom is trying to sue the company that makes Everquest because he was addicted. If she wins then I'm sure we'll see a lot more lawsuits pop up once this game goes on PS2. Heck I'm sure more will pop up when people get divorced because of this game. Anything to make an extra buck without having to work for it.

That's the post I couldn't find. Thank you.

Good thing. You wouldn't wanna go offending anyone's ultrasensitive feelings by mentioning reality now, would you.

| Good posts on both the subject of the poor kid and for responding to the insecure PC crowd. Thank goodness, the story didn't also mention the kid was Islamic, (he wasn't) as well as being epileptic and emotionally disturbed. Not only would you have been been probably banned from DSLR for just being the mailman but protesters would have shown up at your house to yell at you for being a bigot and someone who preaches hate just for quoting the Islamic part. All of this because you just quoted a story. You've got to love it.

| Protesters are fun to mess with, though! You can play golf on your lawn and if you hit one, "get offa muh property, ya dirty hippie!".
