Boing Boing, a directory of Cory Doctorow, brings us news of a strange medical case that is sure to give Jack Thompson an ambulatory boner (the same kind that wanders the streets at night eating roosters and small dogs; see also Chupacabra).
In 2001, the decidedly British Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine published a report centering on a young man who had been admitted to a psychiatric facility for "strange behavior". Strangely, his strange behavior, seemed to imitate that seen in decidedly strange game Grand Theft Auto, and, feeling this sort of thing was a tad strange, the authorities rounded him up with a modicum of under-their-breath "My word! How strange!" mutterings, and an acceptable level of monocle displacement.
Hit the jump for applicable quotes from the Journal.
