As Warren Ellis has asserted, Second Life more often than not means that you are immersed in a virtual world where people have to ability to swarm you with flying vibrating implements, run around clothed in whatever unsociable attire, or pose as a man who loves having slow-motion copulation with polygonal felines.

The Laguna Beach - the MTV show - on the other hand, means teeny-bopper joy mixed in with, well, we'll let the folks from the Daily Show explain:

Well, what happens when televised virtual reality attempts to approximate current attempts at creating virtual worlds? You get Virtual Laguna Beach, The Hills. Virtual Laguna Beach, The Hills is a world created using the There.com platform. Show celebrities can interact with hopeful fourteen year-olds, and folks can go enjoy the never ending teen drama that they crave for in pocketbooks and TV series. Think Second Life without the nasty bits, the economy, the education, the government positioning or the mature content.

We do not wish to go into more detail about this game. We fear for our sanity, and we fear the rain that will wash it away. ~~Let the rain wash down...~~~
