"In other news, a fourteen year old boy, one Fabian Beckett, has been found dead this morning after jumping from his thirty seventh floor bedroom window. The child is believed to have been 'jacked in' at the time playing the popular computer game of these days of 'Quake Slaughterhouse'. He is believed to have been quite agitated before the incident, and extremely violent. He threatened several of his friends before climbing out onto the window ledge to 'stop the pain'. It is believed he jumped not long after.
"Campaigners for the abolishment of games like Quake Slaughterhouse have been quick to comment on this unfortunate event."
"'These things should not be allowed. Look what they are doing to the children of today. I've been mugged seventeen times in the last year and each time by youths who could not have been much older than this unfortunate victim. I blame the capitalistic pigs in the big businesses, getting our children hooked on these violent abominations that are not entertainment but perversion.'
"Police are looking into the possibility that a fault in the child's CICI system could have caused him to have a psychotic episode. They are warning people not to use these devices for recreational purposes involving violent themes and to make sure there is supervision available to younger users of this system.
"This is Carrol Shafique, LKD news, signing off."
