Flixens: Movies, DVDs, TV, comic books and pop culture for women. The boys shouldn't have all the fun.

(as in World of Warcraft... I'm not saying, "Wow! A kid commited suicide!")

I don't know what to make of this... Seriously... I'm stunned...

From The Hollywood Reporter:

BEIJING -- The parents of a 13-year-old Chinese boy who they say jumped to his death from a tall building after playing one of the popular "Warcraft" online games for 36 hours straight are suing its Chinese distributor, a news report said Friday. Zhang Xiaoyi died on Dec. 27, 2004, leaving behind a suicide note saying he wanted "to join the heroes of the game he worshipped," the official Xinhua News Agency reported.

Snip

The suit says Aomeisoft failed to include a warning that the game's U.S. maker rates it as suitable only for players above age 13, according to Xinhua.

Right, so if the BOX had read, "only for players above the age of 13" the boy would still be with us.

How about this?  If the parents didn't leave their 13-year-old son alone in a room playing video games for 36 hours straight, the boy would still be with us?

People are idiots.
