Virtual violence is better than reality

While playing ‘Counter-Strike’ you might expect to be shot by a sniper in the game, but you’d think that you’d be safe from actually being stabbed in the head in real-life.

Yet, according to Chinese media, that is what happened to a teenager in Jilin province. As shown in the x-ray, Xiao Wei had a large knife thrust into his head reportedly after an argument over the gameat an internet café. Somehow he managed to survive, although it certainly puts getting insulted on Xbox Live into perspective.
