The saddest thing is that there will actually be sucker parents who'll fall for this sham and pay for this "treatment" which of course will be required repeatedly as the kid will "readdict" once the course is over (hell, it'll be cheaper to pay for the kid's playing time).

New Chinese clinic aims to combat online gaming addiction
Ellie Gibson 13:10 06/07/2005
Up to 2.5 million Chinese may be hooked on the Internet and MMOGs
A new clinic has opened in China to care for young people who are addicted to online gaming, with the Chinese government officially licensing the facility to treat patients with heavy internet and MMOG addictions.
The clinic, which is located near the Beijing Military Central Hospital, mostly treats patients aged between 14 and 24, who are looked after by a team of 23 nurses and doctors. Many say that their addiction to gaming grew out of a wish to relieve everyday stress and pressure from parents to perform well academically.
"All the children here have left school because they are playing games or in chat rooms every day," said clinic director Dr. Tao Ran.
"They are suffering from depression, nervousness, fear and unwillingness to interact with others, panic and agitation. The also have sleep disorders, the shakes and numbness in their hands."
Treatment begins at 6am every day and takes the form of therapy sessions, medication, acupuncture and exercise. Patients also spend time hooked up to a machine that stimulates nerve endings, receiving 30 volt electric shocks to pressure points, and are intravenously fed a clear liquid said to "adjust the unbalanced status of brain secretions." Officials refused to reveal any more information about the medication.
A stay at the clinic costs $48 per day - more than twice the average weekly wage for a Beijing citizen. The course of treatment generally lasts for between 10-15 days.
Dr Tao, who has worked in psychiatry for 20 years, estimates that up to 2.5 million Chinese suffer from "Internet addiction" - but some suggest the size of the problem has been exaggerated.
"As the number of Netizens grows, the number of addicted poeple will grow as well, but we should not worry about the issue too much," said Kuang Wenbo, a professor of mass media at Beijing's Renmin University.
"The young men at the age of growing up have their own problems. Even if there was no Internet they would get addicted to other things."

Terrorists have reasons for doing what they do, like the terrorist organizations give their family money after they suicide bomb. Which is why when Sadam was in power there weren't terrorists in Iraq: if you do a suicide bombing your family gets thrown in jail or killed. How about those London attacks today though? I think the presidents approval rating will go up as a result. It's still a shame that they can still pull something like that off in today's world.
That flash movie was retarded btw.
