SL conference: Mia Farrow, the Darfur crisis, and freaky nannies |
Ó
People are dying in Darfur and neighboring Chad, and the genocide emergency is becoming serious. Who better to come give us a talk about it than Damien's nanny herself? Hah, we're kidding. While Mia Farrow played freaky Mrs. Baylock in "The Omen", she's nonetheless a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in real life. So, in her second (life), she's going to be holding a discussion on the issue in Darfur.Yes, Mia Farrow is scheduled for a talk in Second Life on Tuesday, January 9, 11 A.M. SL time (2 P.M. Eastern). She's to discuss and answer questions about the situation in Darfur, open to both the press and the public in the virtual world created by Linden Lab. The event will take place in The Infinite Mind virtual broadcast center and will be simultaneously broadcasted in two other SL locations: Camp Darfur and Global Kids on the teen grid.
Other speakers at the event include John Heffernan (Director of the Genocide Prevention Initiative for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's Committee Conscience), Ron Haviv (photojournalist), Ronan Farrow (Genocide Intervention Network representative), and Bill Lichtenstein (president of Lichtenstein Creative Media).
As far as social commentaries go, isn't it ironic how an actress playing the anti-Christ's nanny is now giving peace talks and conferences? QJ blogger Max even jokingly commented that maybe Damien was responsible for Darfur. Well, as for me, I definitely don't mind peace talks from Mia Farrow. Besides. She voiced the Unicorn/Amalthea in P. S. Beagle's "The Last Unicorn". That's enough reason for me to love her.

Something as terrible as genocide is something that the son of Satan would orchestrate. Then again, we do not need to blame the devil for genocide and hatred and violence: people are evil enough. *depressed*
