John Edwards' Campaign Enters Second Life
politics 2.0 writes "It may not be an official effort — yet — but thanks to a grass-roots effort, John Edwards has become the first presidential candidate to set-up-shop in Second Life. Jerimee Richir, whose avatar is called Jose Rote, paid-for and developed Edwards' virtual headquarters, and, on a voluntary basis, is managing the in-world campaign. Considering that Second Life's user numbers are much smaller than other social networks, such as MySpace and Facebook — aside from generating press coverage — will campaigning in Second Life actually win many votes? Rote says yes, and that 'Second Life users are a unique audience, in that, they are first adopters. It is a smaller community, but I would argue it is a more influential community.'"
We both shit turds that touch the back of our balls. It's amazing.
I'd just like to issue a request for mod points, and I'd also like to add a "Who the fuck gives a turd about Second Life?" for myself.
Lame is right.
The REAL question remains unanswered after all these years: Just why ARE all Macintosh users homosexual? And why DO the authorities decline to prosecute them for homosexual behavior? Hell, if adulterers can get life imprisonment in Michigan, is it so hard to do something similar to the fanboi's who really are dangerous and annoying?
In your heart, you know I'm right.
I do not understand why people are using virtual communities like Second life. Surely fads like Second life are simply doomed, since global warming and/or peak oil will rapidly deplete our ability to use gas / coal burning power stations for supplying electricity for such entertainment? I cannot understand why someone would go to the trouble of building an elaborate alternate reality that will be switched off within the decade.
Are second lifers people who simply don't accept anthropomorphic global warming is a reality? Are they simply fiddling while Rome burns?

If by "his daughter is hot.", you really mean "She's an ugly, fat, skanky looking troll." ... then yes, I agree.
but his daughter is hot.
Ewww. We obviously have different tastes in women. She could use some surgery on her chin...

Like the French did in Vietnam? Or like the French did in the Ivory Coast? Or like the French did in Algeria? Those are some great examples!

Honestly, this is a great outreach to new/youunger and future voters. Also goes to show that big companies (like AOL) and big people (like John Edwards) really see both the Internet and virtual worlds (i.e. Second Life) as a big part of the future.
