A Chinese man dropped dead after playing Internet games for three consecutive days.I'm sorry, is there a problem? One less game addicted nerd sounds good to me.
In addition to lead based children's toys, tainted food and bad medicine, China has a severe interweb addiction issue.
Worried about the spread of pornography and politically incorrect (read: uncensored) content, China has banned the opening of new cybercafes this year and issued orders limiting the time Internet users can spend online.
The dead man, aged 30, was from Guangzhou, and logged off Saturday after being rushed to the hospital from the Internet cafe. Police had ruled out the possibility of suicide, adding that exhaustion was the most likely cause of death. They did not say what game he was playing.

I don't understand how you can afford to not work for three days and still be able to pay for all that interweb access, but that's the case in state run China. Our dorks are able to camp out in basements subsisting on nothing but Mountain Dew and Nacho Doritos while being online for weeks. You may have the cheap labor, but you can't top our self-indulgent slothfulness! U.S.A. #1! U.S.A. #1!
