Just when I thought the world couldn’t get any more ridiculous
Posted by Dave in Uncategorized, tags: crack cocaine, world of warcraftRead this story on sky news last night which frankly seemed ridiculous that youth workers in Sweden considered the MMORPG World of Warcraft to be more addictive than crack cocaine. Frankly comparing a class A drug with one of the most successful MMORPGs on the planet seems ludicrous to me but lets do it anyway
| World of Warcraft | Crack Cocaine |
|---|---|
| Cost £8.99 from amazon | Costs approx £10 a rock |
| Further ongoing payments of £8.99 a month are required to continue to benefit from the product | Further ongoing payments are required whenever you intend to benefit from the product |
| Further expansion products are available to enhance the experience at an additional cost | Further drugs are available to enhance the experience at an additional cost |
| Comes in a disc like form that I suppose could be ground down and smoked though I wouldn’t recommend it | Comes in a resin like form that is added to roll ups and then smoked…. though I wouldn’t recommend it |
| Transports you to a happy magical world full of elves, dwarves, goblins and other creatures | Transports you to a happy magical world full of elves, dwarves, goblins and other creatures |
| Has a worldwide appeal to a particular target group… namely nerds | Has a worldwide appeal to a particular target group… namely mongs |
Maybe they aren’t that different after all. I know which I would rather be addicted to though and it’s not the one that is illegal across most of the globe!
