Korea cuts off kids' online gaming at midnight
When I first heard about this, I wanted to believe it was about teeth.
Mine were still chattering from a piece of research performed by the University of Iowa that suggested that young gamers enjoyed more cavities. I experienced a severe attack of lockjaw, however, at the news that Korea--that's the nice Korea without the strange leader with dead Elvis' hair-- has imposed a nighttime ban on certain online games.
It seems, though, that the Korean government is less concerned about young gamers' molars and more concerned about their deep-seated obsession with being deep seated in their bedrooms into the late hours of the night. According to the Korea Herald, those whose facial hair has insufficiently emerged onto their faces and armpits will have their access to 19 online games switched off by the government at midnight.
