Women gets divorced, hacks onto his fave online game and kills his charecter. She has actually spent time in jail for illegally access an ccount.

Some people me thinks need to spend more time in real life, if you are pissed with your husband, slash his tires....

Killing of an imaginary character is really no different than killing someone's imaginary friend in my opinion. But to do something that ridiculous with a revenge motive is just way too stupid.

Not at all surprised that she did time for the illegal account access but seriously. If I'm gonna do time, I would prefer to do it over something real. Arsenic in his tapioca or something.

Whatever happened to the good old days when a sharp slap in the face was all you really needed to communicate your displeasure?

They did a show on the best way to sober up and one of the myth's was a sharp slap to the face. They showed it in slow motion and it really is amazing how your face reacts. And it was the best way to sober up.

I've been hit in the jaw so hard it felt like I could bite my ear. Really loosened things up.

I'm a Mythbusters junkie. What can I say?

I also really like the show that comes on before Mythbusters. Time Warp, I think it's called. They slow common events WAY down so that you can really see what is happening. Very cool!

I would rather have my ex mess with my online personas before she did something in the real world. I used to hang out in telnet chatrooms all the time when I was younger. A character I can recreate. Tires are expensive.

I wasn't seriously suggesting people slash tires. But in Japan the fines are pretty serious - she could be fined $5000 for unauthorized access to a computer system. Thats more expensive than tires.

are covered by insurance.... and can be replaced in a few hours.....

A good character can take a week! B-)

This was a fake marriage, fake divorce, fake murder, real hacking.

This is definitely to be filed under the heading of, "Crazy", sub-heading, "Needs a Life".

to the life on the game as well as to the virtual "husband". It's ok to have virtual lives, but not when it interferes with you living a real one.

First, Sapporo....yummmmmmm. :)

Second, this is absurd. She belongs in a rubber room more so than a prison cell. Whackadoodle!!

Next, it says she killed off his character, but how? Did she simply delete the character from the account (which would be boring)? Did she cause the avatar to commit virtual suicide?? For some reason, this aspect of the story intrigues me.

Finally, does this qualify for an episode of 'Snapped'??

I could see myself getting hooked on an online game. My real life is certainly boring enough. Note to self: I've got to get a life.

Interesting that online divorces are no-fault. Must be quick too. That's not like real life at all, in my experience. There's always much more drama.

Did you see the one where they dumped a cup of water in near boiling oil. It took less than 1/10 of a second (if I remember correctly) for the water to empty the pot of oil and create one he!! of a fireball. Very scary. The fire breathing one was cool too.

I read it in the form of a broadsheet piece of paper, delivered to my door on a daily basis, then just pointed to the newspapers link.
