TAMPA, FLORIDA- After receiving a Darling Dino Plush for her eighth birthday, second grader Abigail Willis reportedly created her first Webkinz account, not knowing that this decision would mark the beginning of her lifelong struggle with internet addiction. With her parents\u2019 permission, Abigail located the Webkinz home page and was overjoyed to find a cheerful, colorful website telling her to, \u201cCome in and Play!\u201d<\/p>\n
She giggled, not knowing that in twenty years, she would be nestled in front of the very same screen, tucked into a cocoon of empty pizza boxes, action figures, and Cheetos dust.<\/p>\n

Abigail beamed as she clicked the \u201cnew member\u201d option at the top of the screen. Cuddling her furry blue plush, Abigail played Goober\u2019s Lab and Smoothie Moves well into the afternoon, ignorant that her future happiness would entirely depend on Red Bull consumption and a glowing screen reflecting back her deathly pale, oily face, as a result of this decision.<\/p>\n
Sources confirm that as Abigail maneuvered through the \u201csafe, fun, and magical online world,\u201d twirling her pigtails and sipping her apple juice box, she had no idea that her affinity for cute, furry animals would eventually turn into hours upon hours of depressively scouring the internet for anthropomorphic pornography.<\/p>\n
At press time, when asked to comment on her impending nights spent crying alone, staring wistfully at her cracked laptop screen, Willis responded,<\/p>\n
