Help is at hand
By Lynne Sheppeard
Ever sat at the p.c. for five minutes, leaned back in your chair feeling a bit peckish, only to discover that you've either grown a beard or two inches of armpit hair? Well, you'll be glad to know that there is now a clinic you can book into for a small sum (500 euros a day) that will attempt to wean you off of your addiction.
It has been set up by addiction consultants Smith and Jones in response to an alarming rise in nerds worldwide, from London to South Korea. Symptoms progress from a casual attraction to hand-held 'Pokemon', to cancelling all further engagements and becoming one of thousands interacting online in the 'World of Warcraft'.
Why? Because... 'all you have to do is push a button and you're a superhero,' says the clinic director Keith Bakker.
Treatment of the addiction lasts for weeks. Unfortunately a complete cure cannot be guaranteed, but the spandex rash does disappear!
