News that a teenager has been arrested in The Netherlands for stealing virtual furniture from a networking site highlights just how wrong the world of onlineness can be.
Apparently, he ‘walked off’ with £2,800 of… um… ‘furniture’ from some ‘hotel rooms’, presumably leaving lots of virtual saddos to sit on their virtual backsides on their virtual floors.
Four other teenagers have now been arrested in Amsterdam, presumably on account of hanging around on virtual ‘street corners’ and making the online space a virtual no-go area.
Guru feels this is a wake-up call to all those online evangelists and would encourage all his disciples to get online, get into some virtual office with plenty of stuff to pinch and get robbing – paying particular attention to virtual laptops, photocopiers, satellite dishes and any other non-existent stuff that could be sold on to geeky losers unable to get out of their houses to buy any real stuff.
After all, the worst that could happen is you might get sent to virtual jail – although you might get a Second Life sentence.
Second Life, for those unaware of the tawdry goings on of the online world, is a sinister imaginary world that extracts cash for the nerdy fools of this world and encourages them to ‘make their own worlds’. A good plan... were it not for the fact that most of them would struggle to ‘make their own breakfast’.
