Sued in real life from a gaming environment?

On: Organizing Sim Protests

I read the article; note one way the author suggests that players protest:

Open your own McDonald's kiosk... Loudly proclaim how terrible your food is and how it's made from substandard ingredients... Make sure you preface each such statement with "In my opinion," to avoid libel charges.

Can someone clarify this: would those libel charges be part of the game? Surely McPuke's can't sue a real person because of comments made in a gaming environment!?!
