World Of Warcraft Freakout

World of Warcraft, the massive and massively popular online role-playing game, has been known to consume people's lives, but this video shows just how attached to it someone can get.

A warning to parents: if you ever cancel your child's World of Warcraft account, don't leave him alone because it's very possible he will be so upset that he's a danger to himself. That's what happened when this boy's parents took away his online avatar, and, courtesy of his brother, we get to see just happens when the cord is cut.

We would scold his brother for betraying the boy's confidence, but then we would never have seen what is clearly one of the best freakouts ever.

To all you Creationists and Intelligent Design proponents, I dare you to watch this video and continue to assert that man did not evolve from some ape-like creature. If the beating of the chest and chimp-like wails don't convince you, perhaps the bonobo-like use of the tv remote as sex toy will.

Now sure if that was real, but if it is, that kid's probably going to have a tough time out in the 'other' world...i.e. the one the rest of us live in! Never done WOW, but although I've put some hours in games and I've heard of people who have lost YEARS of their lives on games like that, that was just disturbing! People get in waaaay over their heads sometimes.
For those of you wanting another even funnier and also somewhat scary meltdown, check out the in-game voice recording (with accompanying pictures) of a guy going ballistic on a game:

(And there is profanity and such, so you were warned, but it's still a good example-and it's not sp.a.m either)

And no, I'm not sure what most of what they are talking about is either.

I usually don't watch this type stuff, but I was interested since there have been other commentaries concerning our youths and WOW. Well, he didn't put his fist through the door, which I found surprising since he was so terribly upset. Nor, did he kick the door or rip apart his room. I vote for method acting. As for anger management classes, well, anyone who has been around teenagers recognize they are pretty intense at times. Pop psychology is the not the answer to everything. Sometimes a two mile run or swim is more appropriate. It gives people time to settle down and rethink negotiation tactics. Americans need to get lives. Help their neighbors, do so good in the community. All this whining and crying from Sanford on down to this teenager has gotten bigger than the '60's "me generation" antics. And yes, I agree with the above, huffpost should neve have put this on their site. If the teenager sees it it could have terrible consequences. Some things are meant to be private. This was a private person and huffpo has publicly presented the video. Is truth really a defense here?

Real or fake it's hilarious and sad at the same time. And what's up with the kid trying to stick the remote up his butt?

Some people just don't know how to parent.

Actually, the fact that they pulled the plug on his account suggest to me that they DO know how to parent. It's a shame that they waited until it got this bad to do it, but at least they chose to do something instead of letting their son waste his life away on that stupid game.
