REALLY Addicted To Heavy Metal!

August 8th 2007 00:20
In June of this year, Sweden's English-language news reported the government's employment service had granted Roger Tullgren, supplemental income benefits based on his illness of addiction to heavy-metal music.

Tullgren , noticeable as a 42 year old male with with long, black hair, tattoos and heavy metal jewellery, had attended nearly 300 concerts during 2006.

Claiming he has been addicted for 10 years, he finally got three psychologists to sign off on calling his condition a disability.

As a result, his employer now has to allow Tullgren to have heavy metal playing at his place of employment as a dishwasher.
