LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Too much text messaging? You may need professional help.

More and more people are succumbing to so called "technology addictions," spending hours tapping on mobile phones or surfing the Internet, one of Britain's best known psychiatric clinics said on Saturday.

Priory Clinic would hit the gold mine here! LOL!

I admit it. I'm a daily Freeper. Sometimes for hours at a time. I try and try to be a moderate Freeper but I can't. FR just keeps calling me back. If a news story breaks I have to check it out and read the perspectives. I can't help myself. Paging Dr. Collins, paging Dr. Collins.

Prairie (heh)

We have a situation where some people look down on alcoholics and cocaine addicts, but then go and spend five hours in an Internet chat room," Dr Mark Collins told the paper.

OMG! And they do not watch crap on TV or read PC press?

No wonder they do not know how to vote in Kalivornia elections!

All of you FReepers should report immediately to psychiatric wards, see your PC doctor to get your Ridalin dose and have your computers confiscated (first registered). Report immediately for the exercise camps (digging ditches) at your local demRAT party office.</sarcasm for any RAT lurkers>

Vote the ba$tards out! Freep & Roll!
