Griefing steps into RL

We have all seen incidents of griefing in SL, and a lot of big events are ruined by them. Important functions are now patrolled by security, increasing the costs to the manager of the event.

Now it seems Secondlife griefing is not enough, a couple of pro-Kremlin Young Russian activists are thought to have copied last years griefing incident at CNETs interview with Anshe Chung which was interrupted by a barrage of flying virtual phalluses.

Former chess supremo and Kremlin critic Garry Kasparov must have felt like a pawn in a larger political game after a speech he was giving last weekend was interrupted by a radio-controlled flying penis.

The below-the-belt disruption is thought to be a real world copycat version of a similar, virtual attack perpetrated in December 2006 by cyber vandals in the multiplayer online world ‘game’, Second Life.
