That was cool to watch. I too was not impressed with the term "virtual livers"....just didn't sound right. Personally, I don't care who makes what or if they do or do not report their income. I'm here to enjoy my second life and be concerned with my own doings. I think people who are concerned with others have way to much time on their hands.

They can't even write Java properly.
I can't display the durn thing in Firefox, and MSIE gives me "Errors on Page" and won't display it either. _____________________

I'll do you guys one better.
Here's the link directly to the Flash file itself.  http://media2.foxnews.com/102405/fr_vogel_102405_300.swf FYI, I've captured this video into another format to preserve it for the future. I just wish I would have been able to get it off TV and not just from the web. |

Hey!

That's my Zephyr Chimes and KanaMaster!
 Free advertising! Seriously, though, I was pleasantly surprised when that shot popped up. Also glad to see so much footage of Luskwood, particularly the "More Feted Than Human" duo (Eltee and Michi). >^.^< _____________________

The last bit really sums up Second Life, for me.
"Skeptics wonder why people would neglect their real lives, which is also 3D, fully interactive, and populated with interesting people... but there, you can't fly." Nor can I be... well, lots of the things I am in SL. _____________________

Best be careful the types of people attracted to SL from the evil evil evil evil Faux News (spits) might be... (stage whispers) Republicans.
And we don't want those kind of narrow minded intolerant people among us good decent folk do we? |

LOLEX Launa, that's classy, like off of a Japanese menu or something.

OK cool, good to see SL getting more press.
However, that news guy is a dork... Check him out here and see what I mean: http://www.91x.com/timages/page/media/fox_j_lo.wmv (content may not be suitable for young children and virtual livers) Sinatra Cartier _____________________

I'm surprised a hyper conservative station like SL managed to keep such a unopinionated and objective report there.
What do they mean by we may be getting virtual telemarketers? 0_o _____________________

Yeah, my virtual liver has been taking a (hic) beating lately.
Say, having watched that report I now feel so much better about myself. I guess I really have been getting the most out of everything SL has to offer. From walking around, to driving, to skydiving, to walking around...but mostly drinking. Damn you, beer bong. _____________________
