Chinese father takes out online 'hit' on his son
In a move which would garner plenty of support from ignored girlfriends and concerned parents the world over, a Chinese father has hired "griefers" to repeatedly kill his son’s online characters. Xaio Feng the unlucky "victim" of the hit became suspicious when he was persistently killed by higher level "griefers", the online term for players who repeatedly kill and otherwise irritate other players. On talking to his attackers, Xaio was informed they had been promised payment for "killing" him.
Xaio had recently left his software job and his father became concerned that he was playing video games rather than searching for a new job. In a country in which many clinics still use electric shock therapy in order to dissuade online and video game addiction, Xaio's father felt he had no choice but to take out the "hit". No doubt in fear of his father escalating matters and employing an actual assassin, Xaio has agreed to get off the sofa and down to the jobcentre... An example for more exasperated parents to follow?
