IM Infatuation

Wow, this is really screwy. "An IM Infatuation Turned to Romance. Then the Truth Came Out." It's about this family man who makes up an 18 year-old alter ego and starts flirting with a teenage girl online. As you probably already suspect, it ends up with him eventually ruining his life -- not to mention the lives of quite a few other people.

Read the whole thing at Wired.

First heard about it through a link in my favorite snarky blog Jezebel. What happens when they actually track down the 18-year old girl is priceless. Truth is stranger than fiction. (And Americans are crazy ... what am I doing here?).
