Farmville Gets Another One...

Ever been so addicted to a game that it made you late for work, school or date? Maybe stayed up all night playing and after a two hour power nap you were at it again? Maybe you were so addicted to it that you played it at work or school? Maybe you were so into the game that you got fired from a political seat of power....?

Yeah that's what I said. Fired. For playing Farmville during a meeting at work. Bulgarian politician Dimitar Kerin now has to write that on his resumé after being voted off the city council for the region of Plovdiv, Bulgaria's second largest city.

Although he was the only one fired, he wasn't the only one playing; when confronted about it, he pointed fingers at other members who play it as well. His main defense was that "he was only level 40" while one of his now ex-co-members was level 46 and "should be fired instead". But after member Todor Hristov commented that Kerin be removed because he "needs more time for his virtual farm" and a quick vote, Kerin is now unemployed. Man, that's weak.
