All the Second Life blogs are atitter about the location of NBC’s new SL office, which happens to have latched on right next to a giant Gorean enclave.
For those still innocent and sheltered from the ways of the United Territories of Intertubia: Goreans, similar to Scientologists, are people who base their personal ideologies on science fiction novels. The difference between Scientologists and Goreans is that Goreans have more fun, as the philosophy of the latter hinges on the idea that women are naturally inferior to men and can only lead fulfilling lives as cheesily-attired sex slaves.
As this nonsense is easier typed than done, Goreans lead a thriving Second Life, inferior only to furries in their role as a defenseless topic of fear, loathing, and ridicule.
So anyway, tee hee, NBC is neighbor to a bunch of misogynistic perverts!
Being the hardhitting journalist that I am, I put on my beesuit and teleported to NBC to look for freaks. I didn’t find any. I did run a search for “NBC” on the map, and came up with a slew of results, seemingly numbered “NBC 1” through “NBC 18”. Each NBC plot was exactly like all the others, with the noirish streets, sky-high ballroom with wrap-around “cityscape” backdrops, and dubious Christmas cheer.
I teleported to about half of these, finally locating the Goreans adjacent to NBC 10 and 13. They have a spooky, Egyptian sort of setup with a lot of locked rooms. The exteriors remind me of nothing more than Serious Sam, and I kept expecting to be run down by bulls or headless bombers while I stood there gaping at their Tutankamun-themed massage pavilion.
The duplicate NBC headquarters might account for the widespread reports of low attendance during the company’s treelighting event this week, as attendees got scattered around to the different Rockefellers. Apparently, they're anticipating upwards of 700 audience members for future ventures, which is enough to cause the gorge to rise in one's throat, just thinking about that lag.
