How many REAL dollars spent on Farmville?

Posted by Stacy Cole on

farmville

A 12 year old boy gets into his savings and also finds his mum's credit card and goes a bit bonkers with it...a grand total of 1400.00 US dollars. 

Holy cow...I have a feeling this kid will be doing chores for the rest of his life! All on a virtual farm.  Nothing is real....the animals and crops don't have any impact on feeding hungry families...they don't give people jobs...Houston, we have a problem.  Click the link below if you want to read about what this 12-year old got himself into.  OUCH!
