		<description>I think it’s all based on corporate backlash in secondlife plan and simple.  A lot of every day people build items in secondlife.  Most people take their business very seriously.  Some don’t expect to make huge profits but instead at least break even.  And any outsider, professional, corporation company ect from real life that comes is seen as a major threat to their business and the creative environment of secondlife.  

Then there is the attitude of “I don’t want to be a walking billboard for such and such company.”  The culture of secondlife seems to shy away from tacky, big and shouting corporate logs.  (A trend I happily endorse and hopes continues.)  Generally the every day secondlife builder doesn’t use corporate logs from the outside in their builds they sell.  Due to the fact they don’t want to get sued.  Secondly they don’t usually make there own logos and splash them all over their builds as well.  

Let’s state the obvious…we DON’T need logo’s here plain and simple.  If we see something we love on another avatar we just click on prim of it and select inspect.  And tada, snoop through the builder’s profile, teleport and we are at the shop we need to get it!

Corporations don’t seem to get that.  They think in real life terms and give us stuff that is screaming with logos.  They do that because the only reason why they are here is to advertise there product for real life.  They expect us to spend our hard earned lindens on there products and become walking and tacky billboards for them.  Ha-ha think again!  We also wonder where our linden’s we pay them go?  To the a big bad cooperation trying to move into our turf?  Ah hell no!  

Most seasoned secondlifers would not even wear the stuff even if it came free.  Because again doing so would be flashing neon sign to others of “I’m selling out to the real world and big monopolizing corporations.”</description>
