SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- A South Korean couple were convicted Friday of abandoning their newborn daughter, who starved to death while they addictively played an online game raising a virtual child.
The husband, a 41-year-old taxi driver, and his 25-year-old wife were sentenced to two years in prison, but the woman's term was suspended because she is pregnant.

Sick.
Bring them to the USA and put them on welfare, free housing and Gov’t cheese.
Sounds like just the sort of people the USA seems to be looking for these days. They will feel right at home in Cleveland, Detroit, LA or Buffalo.
They let their real baby starve to death becasue they were too busy raising a cyber baby?????? Is that what I just read??? Good God Almighty!
I hope the Koreas go to war.
That is one messed up place.
Really pregnant of just in the video game?
Is that what I just read???
I re-read it, too...the sick part is, he went to jail but she didn’t BECAUSE SHE IS PREGNANT!
Korea is a land of great extremes in behavior, much like California. And California gave us Jim Robinson.
Don’t judge them all on the misconduct of a few. After all, America produced Gacy, Dahmer and Manson.
Anyone that *hopes* for a bloodbath in which millions of people would die horrible deaths is one messed up person.
Seriously dude. Seek help.
Ubelieveable. Simply unbelieveable.
Yeah, but did they complete the dungeon instance to get their epic gear?
But, on the larger point, there are plenty of populations that I wish would annihilate each other (Islam) and I don't think I need to “seek help” for it.
I’ll agree that “some people need killin’.” I just don’t think the general population of our best ally in east-Asia falls into that category.
I nearly starved to death waiting for a page to load when I had AOL.
Duly noted, though I still regard Japan as “our best ally in east-Asia” (which is odd, since I’m married to a Japanese).
Koreans torture and eat dogs, and the Japanese eat dolphins and make rape video games and sex robots. So neither is without issue.
Asia needs God. Big time.
The real world is just as sick as the cyber world...
I can’t believe this. It’s too ridiculous. If true, they’re just crazy people. Sometimes 2 insane people marry.
Send them to North Korea.
“The husband, a 41-year-old taxi driver, and his 25-year-old wife...”
Hmmmm...
Obvious, this ain’t really in the same ballpark, but last year I lost a bunch of plants in my garden because instead of watering during the hot part of the summer, I was inside the air conditioned house playing Farmville on Facebook.
/facepalm.
