New Meme

Okay, so maybe it's becoming a meme.  The "Story where the headline tells the whole story, but you still want to read the story" meme.

In this case, here is the headline: 

Father Hires Virtual Hit Men To Assassinate Son in Online Video Games

Okay, so you pretty much get that, right?  Kid is playing too much online.  You want him to have less fun.  You hire assasins to kill his character, to hunt him down, to make it less fun.  You get it.
 
But do you still want to read the story?  Yes.  That's what I'm sayin'.
 
Nod to Angry Alex.
