It's a MAD MAD WORLD!



Apparently a group of Brazilian thugs (and one thug chick) attempted to force a world class RPG player at gunpoint into divulging his password for his account so they could SELL it. What the hell are some people thinking? It amazes me that people are so lazy that they would rather rob someone then make their own way. Funny how some people have too much pride and others have NONE at all.

An armed gang of four kidnapped one of the world's top RPG gamers after one criminal's girlfriend lured him into a fake date using Orkut, Google's social network. After sequestering him in Sao Paulo, they held a gun against the victim's head for five hours to get his password, which they wanted to sell for $8,000. And yes, the story gets even better.

Surprisingly enough, after five hours the hostage wasn't talking. The group leader had a gun against his head all that time but the guy didn't say a word. At that point, the crooks gave up and decided to let him go. The Brazilian police then caught the four suspects, aged 19 to 27.

Gizmodo has the crazy story HERE.
