You probably didn't know this, but next week is "PC-Turnoff Week". As officially declared by the "PC-Turnoff Organization". They want you to shut off your kids' computer for a week. "Give Your Kids The Gift Of Boredom"!
My question is this: How will the kids make enough money to pay for their future college tuition if they're denied access to Party Poker for a whole week?
I need a cause. Unfortunately, being cynical, sarcastic and lazy all at once rules out a lot of the more common ones on offer. Not to mention PC-Turnoff Week.
Guess I'm out of luck.
One of the more amusing things I found on the PC Turnoff people's website is that their founding members just happen to own a company that sells software to allow parents to monitor their childrens' computer usage. Hey, at least they had the decency to admit it.

How arrogant that they assume all kids do on computers is play. I spent hours on end on the computer as a kid (back before most households had computers, and before it was cool) - most of the time NOT playing but goofing around writing programs and whatnot. Turns out that I made a career out of it. Now, what if my parents had discouraged me from using the computer as a kid? My entire life as I know it would be different (and I probably wouldn't be as well off). Bah! There's a difference between monitoring what your kids are doing on the computer and keeping them off it for the sake of keeping them off it. Extremists are so bothersome to me.
Whew! Sorry to rant in your comments :) Interesting link though! (I'm trying to be politically correct in my phrasing!) hehehe
