It would appear that Shelley Malil doesn’t take break-ups too well, if allegations levelled against him turn out to be true.

The actor, who played the well-known part of ‘that Indian guy’ on ‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin’ was arrested for attempted murder after he allegedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend more than 20 times. He has also been charged with mayhem and burglary, which at least brings something of a smile to an otherwise horrific situation, if only for their funny names.

Out of interest, what is ‘mayhem’ as a charge? Would a megalomaniacal evil genius, bent on the destruction of humanity as we know it be simply charged with ‘mayhem’ when they unleashed their robotic hordes on the populace? Or would they be slapped with the seemingly far more rational charge of ‘genocide’?

But we digress, and must veer back to seriousness.
