Korean Gamers Let Real Kid Die While Raising Virtual Kid

Bad breeding is not limited to the US. A Korean couple were arrested for letting their 3 month old baby die at home alone while they played marathon overnight online games at a cyber cafe. The object of this online game called Prius? To raise a child. What is Korean for “dumbass?”

From Yahoo here:

All-night gaming binges are harmless in moderation, but this week one married Korean couple discovered the awful consequences of letting virtual life overtake real responsibilities.

The pair — who were hooked on an online game called “Prius,” where they were raising a virtual daughter — were arrested by Korean police this week and charged with failing to care for their three-month-old baby daughter, who died of malnutrition last September.

They admitted to feeding their child rotten powdered milk, frequently spanking her, and leaving her at home during marathon sessions at the “PC bang” gaming clubs that are a staple of Korean gamer culture.

“They called in last September to report that they found their daughter dead after coming back home in the morning,” a Seoul police detective told ABC. “They had spent 12 hours, all night, at a PC bang.“

So instead of being an expensive and annoying hybrid car driven by smug Democrats, it is also a game that encourages bad parenting?
