So you have heard of alcoholics, chocoholics, and recently sexsomniacs. Well get ready for videoholics. What would that be? People who are addicted to the internet and/or video games. Yes, the American Medical Association is currently trying to decide if that is a legitimate mental disorder.

Now while I do play video games, and I’m on the ‘net everyday I hardly consider it an addiction. I work on the ‘net, and own businesses there, does that make me mentally unstable? I own several video games, and on occasion I play a MMO (massively multiplayer online game) for an entire weekend. But is that the same as drinking bottles of gin til I pass out? I think not.

This is stupid. For a group of smart people this sounds quite dumb. I mean I can see alcohol, nicotine, even chocolate. They are all capable of having direct chemical changes in the brain. The sexsomnia I spoke about previously. This just doesn’t make sense. Maybe there will be an addiction to television that will be up for consideration soon. Most of America will fall under that one.

What says that like the sexsomnia situation this is a ploy for a legal case?

“I speculated that the research being done in October was a precursor to some legal case an attorney was preparing for. Lo and behold I was not wrong. On the 23rd of May, Mr. Scott Axelburg used this defense to justify placing his hands down the pants of a 16-year-old babysitter.”

How long until someone sues Playstation or Microsoft, or asks the government for disability pay on this?
