It is a widely known fact that men cannot keep their dicks in their pants. A new fact? They can't keep their avatars dicks in their digital pants, either. The UK's Times reports on a REAL divorce based on a SECOND LIFE infidelity.
I can understand divorce based on real infidelity. Hell, I can understand hurt feelings from digital infidelity, assuming it involved web camming and photo sharing. But really? These people never exchanged a photo or message outside of Second Life.
Other funny facts: The story involves the hiring of a Second Live Private Investigator. The wife discovered the infidelity after a nap whereupon she returned to her computer to find her husband's burly digital double on a couch with a pixel prostitute.
I mean, I'll admit, I'd ask for a divorce too. But on the grounds that my loser partner would rather spend his time getting his rocks off in a virtual world.
I wonder if the ex hubby regrets this now. If a divorce was in the cards, he might as well have diddled in the real world and received the same comeuppance. That's how I'd do it. Go whole hog or get a salad to go.
So sad. I really hope that being single again forces these people to rejoin the real world and become normal.
ReplyDeleteThe real problem in this relationship was that clearly both partners were losers.
