You’re not supposed to laugh at someone suffering. But screw the phony bleeding heart sympathy. There’s something undeniably hilarious about people in pain when captured in the right context.

Enjoy them, you cold-hearted bastard, you.

The WoW Intervention
Reading news of gamers who are so addicted to MMOs that they let their kids die or have heart attacks due to exhaustion isn’t funny. But, listening to some upper middle class parents scold their spoiled son for playing too much WoW is painfully pleasurable. Watch and listen carefully for the part at the end where the son loses it and wrestles with his old man for trying to get between him and his guild.
