Shanghai netizens are struggling to find time to eat and sleep due to the Internet witchhunts which are triggered on the Chinese InterWang. People who post unpatriotic and thoughtless comments and videos are being pursued relentlessly by a tireless band of surfers, but the netizoos are starting to find the workload challenging.

"This eats up more of my time than World of Warcraft" complained Xiao Zhang, a Shanghai student. "I spent all of Sunday tracking down the address and ID number of a guy from Guilin who posted a video about how great France was on Xiaonei. On Monday and Tuesday I was busy posting on the BBSs attacking a girl who insulted earthquake victims. Then I spent most of the rest of the week hacking into the QQ account of someone who hadn't put (L) China in front of their name."

Zhang is worried his studies may be suffering as he often spends up to 20 hours a day righting wrongs. "It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it."
