You can't make this stuff up!

This just in from the "Seriously, get a life" news dept...

My question is, what exactly was she charged with? I'm pretty sure digital murder isn't a crime, even in Japan, which is a pretty wacky place.

Seriously!

I'm still stunned! What the hell!?!?

Bob said...

Read more closely, Cheryl: she's been charged with stealing someone's online ID -- identity theft, essentially.

Things like this are becoming less and less funny, when you hear more stories about online addictions, such as the 15-year-old boy missing in Barrie, after his parents took away his XBox because he had become addicted to an online game.

But for the grace of God go I, or anyone else online.

Still, this is HILARIOUS!

Plotting an online death because of your online marriage and online divorce...

Japan! Remind me never to go there on holiday.

Hey Mitz... never go to Japan on Holiday.

I'm more curious about the method of death? 'Cause obviously she could've used her own Avatar to cut his cyber brake lines or whatever, but to log in as him... did she take his character on a lingerie spree and arrange a spectacle suicide involving a bustier and a market-fresh zucchini? It's not enough to speak of cyber-homicide without revealing the cyber-weapon, y'know what I'm sayin'! Otherwise it's just 45 seconds of our lives we'll never get back wondering who the f**k gets so wound-up over a cyber-divorce. Hello??? How do you cope with REAL problems???

"a spectacle suicide involving a bustier and a market-fresh zucchini"

I'm sorry. That's just far too specific to be a random thought.

John...

Put. The. Zucchini. Down.
