“Valentine’s Day is like herpes: just when you think its gone for good, it rears its ugly head once more. No wonder some people prefer to call it VD.” That’s the mantra of Be My Anti-Valentine, an online card service for those of you who can’t stand February 14th.

Sometimes it takes a parody like this to remind everyone what life is really about. GetAFirstLife.com is a funny one-page parody of ultra-hot-spot-of-the-moment virtual community SecondLife. It's a one-joke punch in the shoulder that reminds us that even though we might spend a lot of time in the virtual world, there's a heck of a lot that's interesting about the real world.

Oh, and as a funny coda to the whole gag, laywers working for SecondLife owner Linden Labs sent an "un-cease and desist note" to GetAFirstLife.com owner Darren Barefoot. Who wouldda thunk that lawyers could have a sense of humor? Way to go, Linden Labs!
