Daniel Sadville, a CNET reporter who is famous for hyping the second life the online virtual world that's the rage now, was recently trying to interview one of the virtual millionaires when they were attacked by giant flying penises. All this happened in the virtual world of second life, which explains how it was possible to get attacked by flying penises.
the interview was being conducted in CNET's office within the virtual world, with sadville trying to get virtual milionaire Aillin Graef to share her secrets of setting up and successfully setting up businesses in Second Life. Then the "attack" happened - the animated giant penises flew around the CNET building for about 15 minutes. Obviously the interviews was immediately halted with Greaf refusing to continue. She then agreed to do so, provided that the location was shifted to her own private space. Didnt help though, because as soon as the interview was restarted, the animated appendages came back again. Seemed that the hacker had followed Graef to her server. also he managed to crash the server on which Graef's space was hosted.
preseverence paid off though, as after restarting the server, the interview continued normally. If people continue to take second life as seriously as they are now we are gonna need much more security than now.
However one must wonder how some people can take a world like Second life more seriously than their real lives ?
