First it was the griefer flying penis attack, and now it's French political riots with "image shrapnel," "rez cages," and pig grenades delivered by UFO. Every time I've seen Second Life in real life, it's seemed super-boring. But I can see the potential for it to get really interesting, once it gets a critical mass of creative real-life people interested in more than creepy avatar sex:
And so it raged, a ponderous and dreamlike conflict of machine guns, sirens, police cars, "rez cages" (which can trap an unsuspecting avatar), explosions, and flickering holograms of marijuana leaves and kids' TV characters, and more.... One enterprising insurrectionist created a pig grenade, fixed it to a flying saucer, and sent several whirling into Front National headquarters, where they'd explode in a starburst of porcine shrapnel.
