Internet Addiction Therapy…ONLINE?!?!?!?!
This is insane. Like really insane.
There are people (yes, more than one) offering INTERNET ADDICTION THERAPY in Second Life.
What. The. Fuck?
You’re addicted to the internet and you need to wean yourself off… so you, erm….go online and bitch about it?
What the fuck is wrong with people taking this type of help? In fact, bollocks to that… what sort of people offer that kind of help? If someone came to me on Second Life and told me they needed my help with Internet addiction, I would tell them to throw their computers out. Like now. And try the Yellow Pages.
Holding internet addiction therapy online is like holding Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in a bar!! Or offering free heroine to junkies as a reward for being clean for a month.
Wake up, people. Internet addiction therapy online? Just when I thought I’d seen it all….

Um. If you want to help people effectively, you need to go where they are. Even if part of their problem is being there in the first place. Telling someone with an internet addiction to throw their computer away is amusing, but almost certainly ineffective…
