Default Chinese Prisoners Forced into MMO Gold Farming

It's been revealed that many Chinese prisoners are being forced into online "hard labor" in titles such as World of Warcraft, because it's more profitable than manual labor.

And some still wonder why its nuts that some PAY to play these games.

Fate worse than death.

The UN definitely needs to get involved here, this is a human rights case if I've ever seen one. Mental torture, cruel and unusual punishment!

Yes, I heard or read about it in the press a few days ago already.
The Guardian is said to be a good and serious newspaper, although I can't say much more about it since I'm not British.
Personally, I'd like this news to be on the front page.
