CNet and Anshe Chung get griefed in Second Life by Room 101
Filed under: razor

imageCNet was trying to do a serious interview with Anshe Chung in Second Life about Second Life when the following happened:

Unfortunately, as the interview was commencing, the event was attacked by a "griefer," someone intent on disrupting the proceedings. The griefer managed to assault the CNET theater for 15 minutes with--well, there's no way to say this delicately--animated flying penises.

It's not clear why the griefer attacked, but Anshe Chung is controversial to some Second Life residents for reasons such as inflexibility on land pricing, the signs she has placed in many areas of the virtual world that are visible to anyone flying overhead and her ability to get many residents to sell their land to her.

Chung refused to continue the interview in the CNET theater but agreed to go on in her own space.

Once restarted, the interview was attacked again, and the protester even managed to crash the entire server on which Chung's theater is held.

Now of course, whenever there's a zomg cyber attack, someone usually comes forward to take credit, kind of like a virtual car bombing. This time it was a group known as Room 101. They decided to go public on Something Awful, revealing many details, mainly because of the feature there known as Second Life Safari. I will warn you, that the link does in fact go to something which you may consider awful.
