Teens Drug Parents To Get Web Access

Posted by samzenpus on from the grounded-for-life dept.

linuxwrangler writes "Two teens are behind bars after hatching a plan that involved drugging milkshakes they gave to the parents of one of the kids. The parents were suspicious after waking groggy the next day, and used a home drug-test on one of the remaining drinks. The teens came up with the plan in order to avoid their 10pm Internet curfew."

    brings all the web to the night, damn right.

    Any bets they will get web access in the juvenile detention centre?

    I believe the article did in fact say that the parents failed their saving throws against poison so indeed, it was based on DDO.

    Kids that like DDO games AND give you free drugs?!? I'm checking the hospital. They obviously switched their kid with mine.

    Shouldn't have been running bit-torrent while daddy was playing CoD. Who doesn't wanna have someone thrown in jail for lagging their connection?

    Beware the twin evils of the electronic entertainment industry and dairy industry consortiums....

  7. 2am StarCraft by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Funny

    A few years ago, some people I know figured out that their teen-aged son was setting an alarm clock for 2:00 in the morning, and getting up and playing StarCraft on the Internet for a few hours and then going back to bed.

    They weren't sure what was up, for a while, but they did notice he seemed like he wasn't well rested and his school teachers were noticing as well. He wasn't an A+ student to start with and this really wasn't helping his grades.

    Hmm, maybe Blizzard should have made an ad featuring him. "StarCraft: it's better than sleep!"

      Yeah - I think you just described nearly every teenaged son alive.

      A friend of mine had an alarm clock for when he should go to bed. When forgetting to set that, he sat playing all night and got interrupted by the normal alarm clock instead, telling him it was time to go to school.

      And yes, this was Starcraft, too.

    Well the kid did roll for initiative.

    A nice plate of Exlax brownies should solve the problem. It has the added benefit of them being afraid of asking for dessert. Just slip a few in their lunch bags so they kick in right around the time of the big Physics test.

    I dunno, you have to admit there's an "ingenuity with chemistry at home" angle that might qualify this for Slashdot anyway.

    (Obligatory for mods with no sense of humor: Not that this sort of thing should be celebrated. Drugging people against their will is bad. Don't do it unless your curfew is really unreasonable, like eight o'clock.)
