The new trophy husband: a night elf?

November 14th, 2008

Taylor said she had caught Pollard’s avatar having sex with a virtual prostitute: “I looked at the computer screen and could see his character having sex with a female character. It’s cheating as far as I’m concerned.”

The couple’s real-life wedding in 2005 was eclipsed by a fairy tale ceremony held within Second Life.

But Taylor told the Western Morning News she had subsequently hired an online private detective to track his activities…

Pollard admitted having an online relationship with a “girl in America” but denied wrongdoing. “We weren’t even having cyber sex or anything like that…”

Taylor is now in a new relationship with a man she met in the online roleplaying game World of Warcraft.

Second Life affair ends in divorce – CNN.com.

Almost reads like an Onion article, honestly.

    And you just know it was clunky, awkward ,your-elbow-pierces-my-neck, no collision SL bopping. Probalby the cybering was hotter.

    CNN needs to get new screenshots.

    Everything about virtual worlds is related to Second Life, even when the story involves MapleStory.
