Foosball Blog

A bizarre suicide in Missouri over a year ago is now making news.  Why?  The victim, Megan, suffered from depression and attention deficit disorder.  It is thought that her suicide was triggered by one of her friends on MySpace.  The friend, Josh, told her she was cruel just a day before she committed suicide.  There is a strange twist though; Josh never existed.  The profile was created by a family in the neighborhood.  You can read the complete story from the A.P.  The paragraph below caught my eye.

Megan’s parents had been storing a foosball table for the family that created the MySpace character. Six weeks after Megan’s death, they learned the other family had created the profile and responded by destroying the foosball table, dumping it on the neighbors’ driveway and encouraging them to move away.
