    Those “dire consequences” look similar to the consequences from a night of hard drinking, or simply being in your early 20s.

    That’s it. I now curse you with bad traffic for one week.

    Better to stay up all night playing World of Warcraft rather than staying out drinking! Or is it the other way around…

    Hey, let’s talk to a woman who knows someone who spends more time on the computer than she does. Fascinating!

    On another note, why would she–or anyone–have 34 drafts in their e-mail account?

    You callous *******, think about the families of the documented South Koreans falling dead.

    I’d have to be drunk before I’d watch the local news.

    funniest thing about Lari Barrager’s dead-serious report about internet addiction: she closed her breathless segment by saying, completely without irony, ‘For more information about internet addition, go to our website.’
    I laughed all the way from that moment to the moment when Mike Doocy donned a Gene Simmons wig.
    Those cutups!

    It would be funny if the consequences weren’t so dire.

  • alfred @ March 27th, 2008 at 11:45 am

    Indeed. The consequences of Mike Doocy wearing wigs are indeed dire.
