That was my first thought on reading this article, and yes the subject of the thread is a joke (so don't take offense!). Not exactly the most accurate. Also would argue it much more likely that depression comes first, instead of the internet (which makes sense from what i've heard about depression).

"The conclusions were based on 1,319 responses to an on-line questionnaire.

The study, reported in the journal Psychopathology, found 1.2% of people surveyed were "internet addicts", and many of these were depressed."

yada yada yada..... 1.2%

"Although excessive internet use can't be said to cause mental health problems, if a web addict is substituting meaningful friendships and socialising with virtual contact on the internet, this might have an adverse affect on their mental wellbeing."

Yay, another 1 billion $ study to come.

Way too small of a pool to have any conclusive evidence.

Why do you think WoW is so popular? Which is cooler, being a college student, working a dead-end job, or being a night elf mohawk?

Being a college student, IMO. But I haven't tried the 3rd one yet (though I'm not even sure what it means).

I'm Mr. T and I'm a Night Elf Mohawk

ccchhhkkkk uh Mr T there's no such thing

The Mohawk is an extremely powerful class whose attacks come from its incredibly good looking hairstyle. The Mohawk class was hacked into World of Warcraft by Mr. T, who is pretty handy with computers.
