Hey All You Bloggers, China Hates You

I have a problem that I am sure many of you also have. I am not ashamed to admit it either. My name is Ettarose and I am an Internet junkie. It all started back in the summer of 2007.…. I am sure you all have a similar story right? I still do what has to be done, granted, I do (because of dial up you understand) click on a link and then run load the dishwasher while the page slowly opens in all it’s glory. True, I eat at the computer and I am thinking of putting a porta-potty under the desk but that is another story. One thing I have to admit I am thankful for is that I do not live in China with my addiction. Not because they do not allow Internet, because they do. It is the way they get you off your addiction that I could not take. Jeez, you don’t have to hit me over the head with a lead pipe to get me to put the needle down , shut down the computer.

China has a whole new way to battle internet addiction among it’s teens. There are several different treatment options for these cyber addicted teens, one of which is military style boot camps where they are beaten severely. So severely that two young boys have died as a result of being weaned from the computers.
They say six hours on the internet means there is an addiction and there is an estimated 10% of the 100 million web users that could be affected. But hey it’s not all bad. At least they have agreed electro shock therapy will not be used anymore.  Scary shit indeed. What will they do to Barkula if he does not pay their money back? Makes you wonder.
