Heise Online comments create a STIR!

Yesterday Heise online wrote an article “Schweden eroffnet erste Botschaft in der Spielewelt “Second Life” all of this is written in German, which I neither speak nor read. Therefore, I got a friend to do an on the fly translation for me.

The original article is about Sweden building an embassy inside Second Life. There have been plenty of blog entries about that so I won’t go into much details about it here. Just mainly that you will be able to do small things like get information about visa’s and such at the Second Life Swedish Embassy.  Now some of the comments are a different story, especially the one I am linking to here (again in German).  This one gave a link to one of my let off steam post about Second Life being down again, which a number of readers copied and pasted into their browsers and came to that post.

Basically what the German writer of that comment said was (Thanks JP at Go4live [very adult non affiliate link] for the quick on the fly translation) had to say is:

The USA plans to station troops inside Second Life to counteract massive attacks of terriorism.  Based on unofficial information from a few CIA employes there are existing documents which shall prove that a few terrorists already have available weapons of mass destruction inside Second Life, and are not scared to use them. A few weird things have happened and it seems that such weapons have already been used and cost the life of millions of people on Second Life.

Then the article goes on to list http://www.vtoreality.com/2007/secondlife-down-again/301/ (people have to copy and paste in in their browsers on the German site) as the documents of proof. I find this a hoot and a holler because I was simply venting my frustration about Second Life going down, but maybe there was a terrorist (hacker) attacking Second Life at that time. But to use that sorry excuse of an article as proof? Man I would think that is streaching the imagination a good bit.

Any how, we are still picking up a few visitors to VTOR from that German publication and hope they find some of the more interesting article on our site while they are here.
