Poor 28-year-old Amy Taylor from Cornwall has divorced her husband after she caught him virtually having sex with another woman on Second Life.
A tragedy, I know.
The Metro explains how Taylor and David Pollard "met online" and "within months" of their initial meeting had moved in together. Two years later they were married, and apparently the pair spent "hours" online in the Second Life community together.
But! Then! Things went sour when Taylor had "suspicions about what he was doing in Second Life" when she wasn't online.
Dun dun dunnnnn...
Lauren Skye, Taylors alter ego online, apparently hired a virtual private detective to monitor her husband's thinner, buffer, blonder character on Second Life's actions. He was caught red handed, but is said to have apologized.
But the real virtual straw that broke the virtual camel's alter ego's back was when Lauren Skye found out that Pollard's Second Life character was in fact having a virtual cuddle with a pink-haired, digital vixen named Modesty McDonnell on the "sofa".
The said cuddle was describe as being "really affectionate" - so Taylor ended their marriage. The Metro reports that Taylor is, however, doing just fine as she has "met a new man" on World of Warcraft....
I have to commend The Metro for putting this on the front page of their paper, as obviously, the fact that Lauren Skye hired a private detective ON SECOND LIFE to monitor her husband's VIRTUAL ADULTERY with a a pink-haired woman named MODESTY MCDONNELL just screams breaking news.
Who needs stories about "real life" when there are cyber soap operas on the Internet unraveling before our very eyes.
The sanctity of marriage is at stake here, people. Not only do gays want to marry, but now we have Modesty McDonnells running all over the Internet CUDDLING with people's husbands on pretend sofas.
My real concern with all this, is how Modesty McDonnell feels about seeing Pollard's photo. Just sayin'.
