John Edwards' Second Life HQ vandalized

Posted Mar 1, 2007 at 8:22AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Titles, News Tags: John Edwards, Linden, Linden Lab

We reported earlier this month that politician John Edwards set up an in-game headquarters in Second Life. There's probably nothing wrong with that as some French political parties did the same earlier on. However, things got a little out of hand when some residents vandalized the said HQ.

Edwards, himself, blogged about the matter and according to him, these are group of Republican SL users with some carrying "Bush 08" tags. Furthermore, the group covered the office with Marxist as well as Leninist posters and slogans. Edwards added that there was also feces spewing obscenity and a picture of him in black face.

The group was out of control, Edwards mentioned, as they harassed visitors and threw out obscenity-laden abuse of Democrats in general. The former North Carolina senator commented,

I witnessed this event, taking names and photos, including the owners of the pictures. I also kept and saved a copy of the chat log. I have filed an abuse report with Linden Labs, and am awaiting their investigation.

The said "attack" occurred shortly before midnight (CST) last Monday, February 26.

# Republican Fantasty? — Guest 2007-03-01 23:43

Wow, imagine the scum-of-the-earh roles that Republicans will play in SL, that they can't fulfil in RL.

There are tons of Bushbots in SL probably raping children and eatings *****s.

LOL, I love it.

Amusing, wish I was there.
