Second Lifers Still Dicking Around

There’s nothing like a good prank to add +1 to your tomfoolerly attribute.

During an address in front of 500 delegates of a “symbolic alternate parliament,” a couple of pro-Kremlin activists (read: Second Life griefers) crashed the party with a flying phallus.

The idea of taking something from the virtual world to the real-world streets isn’t anything new. Heck, some people spend too much time on such an idea. Sometimes there are purely comical results. But choosing Second Life as your source material for a political statement strikes me as a bit trite. Maybe it’s just me, but I like to put Second Life in the same boat as Everquest: it’s still around, but honestly, is anyone still playing…er, living?

A flying phallus is one thing. But so is squaring off against a tank. Or throwing a tea party.

Sure, a vibrator attached to a remote-controlled helicopter is guaranteed to draw attention. But these pro-Kremlin activists could have been more thoughtful. For example, they could’ve unleashed a barrage of foam tetrads at the delegates — that would have maintained a nice Russian theme at least. With Gary Kasparov leading the address, why didn’t these pranksters have the foresight to give the phallus a nice set of blue balls and emblazon “Deep Blue” on the shaft. That would be funny and smart.

Let’s just hope this “helicockter” stunt doesn’t get out of hand. I can’t imagine how well a flying penis would fare on the campaign trail. Could a flying vagina be ruled out at a Hillary Clinton campaign stop?
