I'm fine with celebrities popping into SL. I'm fine with RL companies setting up SL shop.

What I am not fine with is the RL companies (and LL) declaring some sort of statement that is false... usually "We are the first to...."


That is exactly what I meant to say in the first place - then I got sidetracked. Could you write my next post for me Doubletown? These word things are not really my strongest point. :D

Are you still a celebrity if the majority of people have no clue who you are? The term celebrity seems to be used rather losely.

I'm not crazy about it either, Vlad. But these people will come . . . and they will go. I think of them as people who come in SL briefly to entertain.

and I might add, I recently discovered that my car has a cameo role in an el-cheapo cable add for a local resturaunt (which I sometimes park in front of.) It ends with a cut to the facade of the joint and there's my car. I actually saw the comercial about five times before I noticed and confirmed it was mine. Maybe I should get a vanity plate that reads "Z-list" ;)

Am I the only one who finds it annoying when a big 1st Life company comes into second life and loudly proclaims itself the '1st *whatever* to create a presence in a Virtual World'?

I dunno what they are thinking but I'm sure many more RL companies have merged into SL long before them.
Mine started as local RL company long before I heard of SL. And I've slowly merged SL as part of the market.
Not like it's a big deal. I thought many people have done this. :confused:
So yeah I'd say thats kinda stupid too lol :rolleyes:

No friggin way?!?!?! Small world!!! I went to college with someone who was an extra in Dead Poet's Society too.... in the movie, there's a play, and she played the smallest tree... her brother is Seth Green.

Way too cool! I knew that 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon game worked within SL!!
