"A member of Norway's Parliament was caught playing a war game on his hand-held computer, right during the middle of Wednesday's parliamentary debate on Iraq. The red-faced representative from the Conservative Party has since apologized."

As his parliamentary colleagues fired at each other about a possible war against Iraq, Helleland fired away with a new game, Metalion, that he'd just downloaded.

Helleland told Nettavisen that he only meant to check his electronic appointments calendar, "but fiddled a bit too much" and landed on his new war game. He admitted that he "just had to try it out."

"It's a robot game where you shoot drones," he said, stressing the game doesn't involve any blood.

ROTFF :p

LOL. I like the part where he not only admitted it, but started describing what kind of game it is. That's classic.
