Woman tries to abduct virtual boyfriend/lion.

This is precisely why I eschew technology, relationships, Tasers, and people. And virtual lions.

I found this part interesting:

Kimberly Jernigan is not the first person to allegedly blur their virtual and real lives, and her case presents one of the myriad problems that can arise when the two worlds collide.

Last year, a 48-year-old man in upstate New York was sentenced to 20 years in prison for killing a rival for the affections of a woman he'd never met. Thomas Montgomery reportedly posed online as an 18-year-old Marine and started an Internet relationship with a middle-aged woman from West Virginia, who was, herself, posing as an 18-year-old student.

Is there ANYONE online who isn't middle-aged and creepy?
