Virtual people are to step offline and reveal themselves in a "real-life" photography exhibition. The Alter Ego display shows what kind of virtual characters people choose to be in online games and 3D worlds. The exhibition, the first of its kind in the UK, will show how people play with identities in online environments.

Doesn't it disturb anyone that half the people they chose to depict were morbidly obese, wheelchair bound, or priests?
It's like they are trying to portray gamers as freaks.
The description they gave SL wasnt exactly flattering either.
