Griefers take responsibility for Edwards vandalism
Cory Bergman March 6th, 2007
A band of griefers (which in video game jargon means people who exploit a game to cause grief) have taken responsibility for a vandalism attack on John Edwards’ virtual campaign headquarters in Second Life. The griefers have done this before, and they love to employ penis guns, Bill Cosby posters and a “Mario mosh pit” which involves unleashing a barrage of crazy cartoon Marios. There’s allegedly video of this on YouTube somewhere, so if you find it, please let us know and we’ll post it here. Update: Screen grab of the vandalized headquarters below. Thanks, Rob!

Check the URL above … there’s a screen grab of the plumbers at work.
No video of this particular incident on YouTube, but after a quick search I found some video of the self-proclaimed e-terrorists’ other acts on the YouTube.

This is why I hate online gaming.
And people.

Nerd:
Ohhh… Edwards is so pwned!

meantime…it is proof that the internet has made it possible for there to be real and virtual a-holes.
ready to be seriously flamed, it brings to mind a question about the true value of the 1st amendment if its spread allows this to be ok.

I don’t think vandalism is protected. It’s a crime.
Neither are libel or slander.
Right?
So, let’s arrest Ann Coulter, while we’re at it. Because that guy’s an ass.
