The game even sounded lame.

And THIS is teh country we spend a fortue to defend and keep 30,000 of our guys in harm's way to protect?

We REALLY need to rethink our priorities.

What a wake up call to drive home the dangers of pure escapism into virtual life on the Internet. It's a terrible, terrible situation in South Korea especially. The government has finally stepped in as teenagers are falling way behind in maintaining their education in pursuit of video games and fake lives.
