Woman attempts to kidnap e-boyfriend.

[Bryan]

A woman wanted in the bizarrely complicated attempted kidnapping of her former virtual boyfriend has been apprehended after a multi-state search, reported by CBS last weekend.

It is said that the 33-year-old Kimberly Jernigan who came from North Carolina met 52-year-old man who was from Claymont in the online game "Second life" and formed a virtual relationship until the victim ended the relationship unilaterally after they met in reality for several months.

Jernigan who couldn't accept the reality attempted to kidnap victim, but fortunately the victim has escaped from her kidnapping for twice. Police arrested Jernigan according to the information from victim an hour after the incident. Jernigan is currently facing charges of attempted kidnapping, burglary and aggravated menacing.

Second Life is a 3D virtual world created by its Residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by millions of Residents from around the globe.

The victim's character in game was said to be a Lion, and Jernigan was a virtual woman. It's a fanny association that reminds me Beauty and the Beast! But the ending in the real world can never be such happy as the fairy tale. Virtual world couldn't replace the reality - at least at the moment.

Internet relationships prove you are weak anyway and how the hell did she fail twice? Wouldn't you arrest her the first time she failed?

I read this post on MMOSite this morning, and decided to give Second Life a shot. Not for the reason of the kidnapping, just because I've never played it before

I get in-game, and the first thing someone says to me is "Hey, Showy, I'm feeling naughty"

So I look at the person who says it and it's a blonde woman with only undergarments on. It was quite funny, actually

If you are capable of having a boyfriend/girlfriend in real life no prob why would you get one over the internet? You cant, you cant hug them, you cant kiss them, you cant FEEEL them lol.

lolwut?

please explain this.

basically what he is saying that you have no social skills at all to the point that the only way you can develop relationships is through the internet. As you know, internet is a place where anyone can be anyone or anything. You do not know where they live, what they look like, what their hobbies are, etc. Internet is pretty much the free-world for those socially-challenged.

Hence why, those with internet relationships are "weak" or timid, shy, and not very talkative in real life.

What the ****? I'm 16! Not 52!

[Asiankid0]

hahaha its okay cingal, if people think you are 52, then that means you are mature and wise enough

Why is that a problem?

Long distance relationships prove how committed someone can be to another person. It isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength dear member.

Internet Relationships aren't as strong as ones in reality but that doesn't mean they don't matter still. I still think I should be able to have a friend somewhere else in the world that I will never meet. Kind of like a pen pal but more interesting. If you meet someone in one game, find out they play other games you do. I mean, you can make pretty strong bonds. It doesn't mean you can't get friends in real life, it just proves you can have friends online as well.

. There are actual hot girls between adolescence and mid age for sure because I have met several. Fortunately I can tell the difference.
