Italian Boy ‘Addicted’ To Playstation, Says Actual Doctor

13 year old Lorenzo Amato was rushed to hospital by his father, where doctors at first thought he may have been suffering from a stroke or brain disorder. But no – after closer examination, the medics diagnosed ‘Playstation Addiction’.

Local politician Antonio Buccoliero was quick to comment, “They eventually managed to take care of him once they understood that this was a strange kind of mental detachment connected to his Playstation.” It is unknown if this condition could be contracted through rival consoles or if it is a Sony-only disorder. Or indeed if it is an actual medical condition and not something they just made up to make a point about gaming.

The boy had been unable to speak and appeared ‘confused’ following a marathon gaming session. He reportedly told his father to throw out his console saying, “If I even think about it I want to throw up.”
