I wasn't making fun of internet addiction. It was the absurdity of attempting to combat it using the internet. That's the problem--so much communication involves the internet, it's impossible to just "unplug it", like you can a television. And, even then, t.v. is now on the internet as well. It doesn't have the physical dangers of drugs, but it can have a very deleterious effect on the mind.
I don't think you have made fun of internet addiction. I meant to say many people may find my comparison of internet addiction and substance abuse bizzare. But the fact that children can't avoid virtual world is the very reason I find it so dangerous.

The wild, wild, West. "I'm Going to Disneyland." "Hey Joe". The lyrics of violence.
