Gotta go for kind of a short blog today. I have tons to do, including working on a novel, so just a little bit of craziness before I go.
Apparently, "internet addiction" is a big deal in China, so they feel like they have to address it, naturally. Not so naturally is the way they go about it. Electro-Shock Therapy, to be exact... yeah, you read that right. What the hell? I know they're not that different from us, but really, how whacked can you be about the internet? Porn, I understand, but isn't their country really strict about the world wide web? It's being constantly monitored and filtered by the government, so all that's left is Chinese history lessons and Barney videos. What the hell are these kids so addicted to? I'd very much like to know.
You can read the full story here. And don't worry, I won't shock you if you don't.
