Yep, starve…to death.  A 41-year-old taxi driver and his wife were sentenced to 2 years in prison for choosing to play 10 hours a day at internet cafes rather than bottle feed their newborn daughter more than once a day.  And, for tragic irony, the couple’s game of choice, Prius, was one where they “played” raising a virtual baby. 

Court affidavits also stated that the girl, who was born premature and weighed 5 pounds, was fed rotten formula and, when she cried out of hunger, was beaten by her parents.  What did the couple name their newborn?  The Korean equivalent of “love.”  Oh, and, FYI: the mother received a lesser sentence because she’s currently pregnant with baby number two.  Some pre-sentencing video follows below:
