In A Murder Case, Is Internet Addiction Really The Main Issue?
from the focusing-on-the-wrong-thing,-perhaps? dept
There's a horrible story out of Singapore where a man murdered his wife, chopped her up into pieces and got rid of them in various pieces of luggage. It's all quite awful, but the odd part is that the headline of the article is: Angry His Wife's An Internet Addict. That's it. Nothing about the murder itself. Or the chopping her up afterwards. Or getting rid of the body. Not even anything about the fact that she tried to stab him first or other issues the couple had. You would think that any one of these issues might be more important than the fact that she spent a lot of time on the computer. Apparently not.

Over in China, there is a new service to harass opponents via e-mail, telephones, or public flyers.

In more Asian news
A Thai man (53) was digging a 3-meter-deep ditch, when the ditch collapsed and he was buried alive. A nearby worker brought a bulldozer to dig him out, but the bulldozer accidentally cut his head off. The bulldozer driver fled.
Do things like this happen in America too, but we just don't hear about it? Goes against the grain of our Good Samaritan culture. A very Asian story. :P

Re: In more Asian news
Hey man, I did try to find English versions of all the articles I posted. Unfortunately, we only get the tip of the iceberg on all the crazy things happening around the world.

Internet addict murder case happened in Taiwan, no
Hi,
I read your blog entry : "In A Murder Case, Is Internet Addiction Really The Main Issue?"
This case happened in Taiwan, not Singapore. It says so in the linked article.

I don't get that
Man, I LOVE that my wife is addicted to gaming and the net...because not only it leaves ME alone to pursue my own gaming and net addiction, it ACTUALLY comes in as "together time" too!
