Facebook user Benito Apolinar, who hails from the great state of Texas, had posted a loving status update to his Facebook page on the anniversary of his mother's death. Then he waited for the "likes" to roll in. You know how that is: One finds a strange sense of fulfillment in near-meaningless clicks of approval from friends and acquaintances and friends of acquaintances.

Well, the "like" from Dolores Apolinar, Benito's estranged wife, never came. That led to a confrontation. ("Your passive-aggressive withholding of a Facebook 'like' is the social media equivalent of spitting on my dear mother's grave, you heinous and unfeeling witch!" he did not say, but could have.)

Whatever words were exchanged, it quickly escalated into a physical altercation, during which Benito "hit" Dolores and "pulled her hair," according to the criminal complaint. Now he's facing battery charges.

Well, Mark Zuckerberg did say his mission with Facebook was to "make the world more connected." [AP]
