Political Strife Erupts in Second Life

covert.c writes "A real-life drama in the political world has spilled over into the virtual, as the Second Life headquarters of France's controversial Front National political party fell to violent protesters. The anti-FN activists, who had armed themselves with slogans, placards and weapons, leveled the digital buildings occupied by Front National. Second Life is often home to established political and social movements. It seems logical that opposing forces would also choose to make SL their stage."

French Front National? Splitters!

Wait, we're the French Front National? I thought we were the National French Front. Oh, that's him over there is it? Splitter!

Sorry, The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes." We will have to be content with second.

Virtualness

[Anonymous Coward]

Since they're resulting to virtual violence for political purposes, doesn't that make them virtual terrorists/cyberterrorists? We cannot let people do this. We might even have to virtually torture they're avatars for virtual information, before they virtually blow up the virtual bomb in the virtual building and virtually kill innocent virtual people. Think of the virtual children!

Seriously though if we're going to have so many stories on it, let's make Second Slashdot you know , for people that don't have a second life either :)
