Called "Shan Dian Mao De Gu Shi" (The Story of Shan Dian Mao), the first Internet addiction themed television show in China will soon be aired to show teenage viewers the horrors of using the Internet too much.

The 38-episode sitcom, shot by the Care for the Next Generation, China Youth League's Online Movie and TV Center, and the China Youth Internet Association, reveals ways for youth to avoid Internet addiction.

Chinese media is recently rife with stories about youngsters who fall ill or die in Asia because they spend too much time playing games or chatting online.
