Codeacademy: I never thought I would fall for that trick

Been starting with the CodeAcademy recently to learn javascript in a less than pressured way. I always had the issue that I needed to learn coding the hard and time intensive way, i.e. practice, practice, googling the solution and more practice.

I read about the CodeAcademy and was actually just curious and to learn Javascript, because it is useful. The bastards got me hooked. I always fancied myself a man capable of independent thought, but all that "Congratulations! You earned a new badge!" got me as droolingly addicted like all those other muppets out there. Ah well, fellow muppets, I am now another member. Just wait until I managed to attach the strings to my wrists, ankles, back and head...
