Organizing Sim Protests

Shadow Wrought writes "Alternet has an article about how to go about protesting McDonald's in the Sims Online universe. According to the story "A deal struck between Sims publisher Electronic Arts and the fastfood mega-corporation allows Sims players to open up their own McDonald's kiosk and improve their game stats by consuming McD's greasy goodies." This then tells how to vent any rage that such may conjure. Mayhaps a venue to protest other issues as well?"

    Yeah, it's easier than a real cause: Examples of a real cause:

    1. Protesting starvation of children
    2. Fighting evil, violent oppressors
    3. Donating and volunteering at an abused women and children's shelter.

    The following are NOT examples of a worthy cause:

    1. Your right to burn CD's at will
    2. Your right to mod a Tivo
    3. Your right to download software of any type you desire.

    Get your collective head's out of your asses people and choose a cause that's not 100% selfish, such as digital consumer rights.

    I welcome the flames from the photoshop pirating wanna-be Zach De-La Rocha's.

    Hey! They are just like SPAMMERS or Telemarketers or mass emails, they are supporting services "YOU" would not pay for, and therefore deferring the costs that "YOU" would not pay. We have to accept this because otherwise we would not be able to afford computer games at all!
