When they’re not inspiring rapists or teaching people exactly how to murder others in real life, videogames are giving children rickets. That’s according to the British media, who have attributed yet another heinous crime to gaming.
The disease (famous for making kids look like those novelty clocks with the swinging legs) has seen a “disturbing” return to the UK. Rather than blame Britain’s many stupid parents who don’t give a flying f*ck about their ugly, inbred little shitlings, television and videogames are instead the culprits.
“Kids tend to stay indoors more these days and play on their computers instead of enjoying the fresh air,” blames Professor Simon Pearce. “This means their vitamin D levels are worse than in previous years.”
As usual, while the scientists only vaguely mention videogames, the good old British news services have jumped on that tired old angle.The Timesran the headline “TV and computer games blamed for return of rickets.” Can’t wait to see what theDaily Maildoes with this little gem.
So yeah, if you don’t want the kind of legs that would only be good for riding a rhinoceros, then stay away from those evil videogames.
