Crazy stuff. But on the plus side, they reported that they never turned the computers off. I want to know what specs they have that can play games 24/7 with no reboot.

Disgusting... makes me want to sign up for a Chinese WoW server, or one of those F2P Chinese MMOs like Perfect World Online... just so I can run around and scream "FREE TIBET" and "FREE LIU XIAOBO" all day until I got banned. Not that it would do much good  |

Dude, if I have to go to prison I am going to make sure my lawyer gets me the WoW punishment, beats the alternative I guess!

I'd take the alternative any day. If I'm imprisoned, I'd rather keep my body in good shape. Its better than letting myself degrade slowly in a computer chair all day while getting his life nowhere....
Wait, what?!

Edit 9:33PM EST: But on a more serious note, this isn't all fun and jokes. Those workers are most likely abused and suffer in those camps. Even with the unknown circumstances, I'm pretty sure there's some bad things happening in that camp. It was stated that the workers saw not one bit of the money they were making (they were making big bucks) but I don't remember in what context it was in.
There is nothing wrong with 'teh lulz' but it's still important to keep in mind the realities of our world.
Teh lulz may continue to commence, at the user's discretion, but bear the darker reality in mind. I personally don't mind a bit of dark humor if used tastefully.
(Edit inspired by a convo had with a tree-hugger hippie friend of mine. He took a different approach to the situation [(got rather offended)] so I figured I'd offer the insight he gave me with you the community.)

If you read the whole article you will find out that WoW slavery is only a part time job for these prisoners. Their full time job is the usual prison hard labor IRL stuff... turning big rocks into small rocks, digging ditches, etc. Typical day is going to be something like 12 hours hard labor, 8 hours gold farming, and 4 hours sleep. Every day, for 10 years. So yeah, might want to reconsider talking to your lawyer about the WoW punishment. |
