In what can only be referred to as one of the most ridiculous crimes (so far) of 2011, Long Island resident Melanie Spanopoulos ran over her cousin, Giselle Penagos, twice, in her minivan! The root cause of this insane family drama? FACEBOOK (insert damning sound bite…”dum dum dum…”)

According to TGDaily, “The attack was incited after Spanopoulos found out her cousin was in touch with the girl’s crush on Facebook. Upon hearing this information, jealousy erupted since the crush had indeed rejected Spanopoulos ‘ friend request.”

I, for one, find it hard to believe anyone would reject this little angel. Why she’s as wholesome as a slice of warm apple pie followed up with bible study. Its not like she would ever do something irrational like get into a fight and run a family member over with her car, right?

TGDaily continues,”Spanopoulos, who was arraigned yesterday in a District Court in Hempstead was charged with assault and released on $10,000 bail.

The girl maintains her innocence and when asked for comment she replied with a smile, “This sucks.”"

Understatement of the year?
