Some people who play Second Life are just as bad.
Cant differentiate pretend from reality.
Sad really.

Well i hope he TELLS her when he's going to divorce her or she might go after him with a giant eraser and rub him out, or hit him over the head with a giant tippex bottle - or whatever the real equivalent is of deleting someone's profile online!

Politegorilla, that has got to be the funniest article yet!
Maybe I am just a techophobe, or a virtual reality dunce or something because I am clueless what it's all about.
It's Not Real.
Simple As.
What am I not getting?

So, if I play Kickboxer on the PS2 against my young son,and I beat his character to a pulp and win the game, will the social services come and take him away and charge me with child abuse?
Or is it just Pretend, and A Bit Of Harmless Fun?
I just dont get this virtual reality thang.

Ah is that what it is Carrie, I thought I had deja vu there for a mo!

And I STILL think some people are crackers because *it's pretend*.....I just dont get how anyone can let it spill into their real lives.
Ok, so I get the bit about becoming known to one another in the real world, falling in love IN THE REAL WORLD and all that jazz...but to be totally honest, if I "caught" my partner's online cartoon character having virtual love with another online cartoon character I would laugh like a drain cuz its not real and its funny.
Its not like its real people on webcam.
If he then went on to get to know said real person and fell in love with her, yes I'd be a tad miffed but lets face it, that female online character he's having virtual love with could actually be some bloke in real life having a laugh.
It's just a saucy adult game for goodness sake.
I just cannot get my head around it.

But dancing is two real people in the real world.
It isn't pretend. That's different.
(although, I dont believe dancing automatically means cheating).
'Fraid I will never understand this virtual reality stuff, guess my feet are too firmly rooted on the (real) ground!
