John Edwards Campaign Complains of Virtual Vandalism to their Pretend HQ

March 6th, 2007 11:01 pm

We’re not talking actual, real-life vandalism… heck, we’re not even talking about website hacking… the Edwards camp is actually complaining that some video game players virtually vandalized a pretend John Edwards Headquarters.

Shortly before midnight (CST) on Monday, February 26, a group of republican Second Life users, some sporting “Bush ‘08″ tags, vandalized the John Edwards Second Life HQ. They plastered the area with Marxist/Lenninist posters and slogans, a feces spewing obsenity, and a photoshopped picture of John in blackface, all the while harrassing visitors with right-wing nonsense and obsenity-laden abuse of Democrats in general and John in particular.

I witnessed this event, taking names and photos, including the owners of the pictures. I also kept and saved a copy of the chat log. I have filed an abuse report with Linden Labs, and am awaiting their investigation.

When I first read this, I thought it must be a joke. I didn’t know what “Second Life” was, so I Googled it and found this page explaining that it “is a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents.”

A virtual world. Pretend. Make believe. Pretty well sums up Edwards’ chances of becoming President.

How long before these unemployed morons declare their fantasy world a “battleground state” and demand voting rights for the cartoon residents? No wonder our enemies are licking their chops.

Who's making fun of the internet geeks? They're beyond ridicule.

I was laughing at the Edwards campaign for actually lodging a complaint about fake vandalism in a fake world to a fake Edwards campaign building.

Freakin' hilarious.

Yeah they probably just wanted to publicize the fact that there is a Republican Rebel Militia on "Second Life."

This from the same place that had to shut down an "interview" with some gal who's made a pot full of real money off Second Lifers because there were flying penises in the room.

But then again, Edwards is just taking a page from the Paris Hilton playbook.

Not if you're running for President and it makes you look crazy.

You are a geek.

Now, can you solve for x?

No . Anyone who reads and plagiarizes blogs that much needs to examine his own geek credentials.
