Virtual Babies?

Apparently, a couple in South Korea starved their real life baby because they were too preoccupied with the child they had on an online “Second Life” video game. You know, video games are fun and all, but when you begin to care more about your fake, polygonal child than you do your real child… it’s just ridiculous. Though, I have to say, this isn’t as bad as the case of the man who died from too much non-stop playing of the popular online strategy game StarCraft. Coincidentally, that man just so happened to live in South Korea as well. Hopefully there isn’t some sort of epidemic going on in which people forget that they have real lives to attend to.
