I fail to see the humor.
In fact, I can't tell anything at all about what this thread is about. I'm at a total loss here.   _____________________

Must be some kind of minimalist humor.
Or perhaps telepathy. _____________________

I think it is a technical problem of some sort.
There's an url not displayed in the intial post that becomes visible by quoting the post. http://www.boingboing.net/2008/09/19/paid-placement-for-b.html _____________________

This person had something to say that was more relevant to the SL aspect of the product-placement issue:
#36, posted by Maggie Leber , September 19, 2008 12:36 PM I just visited the factory (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eyebeam%20Island/173/41/200) , it's deserted, like most art projects in Second Life. $US0.90 would be $250 Lindens, not a bad pay rate as in-world jobs go. Hardly a sweatshop. Kind of a nice build....good use of Arcadia Asyulum freebies. Don't see how they could make real jeans there though. .............................................................. The original story had stated: "The thing is, Double Happiness Jeans is not your everyday brand -- it's a virtual sweatshop organized by EyeBeam for a display at the Sundance Festival, which involves paying Second Life citizens 90 cents an hour to make real, customized jeans designed in the virtual factory." Like Maggie Leber, I'm wondering how the SL factory produced 'real' jeans, too! |

""It was hilarious," Lambert told us via telephone, "that he wanted to put Jeff's fake Second Life sweatshop company in a pop song. " after all the recent ads in SL being under scruitiny I find this fitting. _____________________
