And in the ludicrously stupid category...
So, we don't have enough real crime to deal with, and there are murders in the real world to solve, so let's go after somebody who "killed" a virtual character that - HELLO? - was NEVER ALIVE!

I remember a time when the police response to the guy's whining would have been, "Go away. We have real crimes to solve. Get a llfe."
Now, they arrest somebody for "killing" something that, at risk of repeating myself, was NEVER ALIVE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
And maybe he shouldn't have given her his log on info. Or, when he "divorced" her he should've changed the info. What an idiot.
Though the cops have him beat for even taking it seriously.
