How to reach /b/tards and the *chan
by Pixeleen Mistral, business desk
After a year and a half of failed attempts at corporate marketing via the metaverse, Second Life finally found a secure place in the ad-supported media universe yesterday. Despite the predictions of a number of pundits, Google did not buy out SL, fix the crash-prone universe, institute mandatory avatar tracking and chat logging systems for all residents to better target special 3D ad-words, and send Philip Linden packing to pay off the accumulated bad karma of a game where more than 20% of all sessions ended in a crash. In the end, the answer was much simpler.
At just the point when legions of highly paid new media consultants had given up hope, a few plucky upstarts both identified the target market that SL appeals to, and demonstrated a cost-effective strategy for reaching these affluent, influential consumers. It is now official – skywriting for the 4chan audience is the best use of SL. See the map view below.
skywriting for 4chan – will 7chan respond?

OH NOES!

Oh Prok, save me from the evil anti-semitic racists of 4chan!
But seriously, this article kind of makes me think that all those ‘SLH is just a drama-pump’ people might just be right

Yes oh yes, given Prokofy Neva’s propensity she will certainly use this technique to cover her Ravenmudglass sim and better promote her miniblog.

Textured mega-prim signs high in the air are nothing new. Visit one of the Rezzable sims (eg Crimson Shadow) and check out the big map..however placing these signs over Linden-owned land is funny . Mr. Gene Replacement (not sure what his current name is) must be proud!

Bingo you hit the nail on the head. SLH is just a big drama-pump. Someone give this commenter a cookie.

So, Marc, what other real world crimes have you committed?

Actually its not the result of a PN script, nor was any PN responsible for the making of this sign. The person responsible did, in fact, receive a 3 day ban for “disturbing the peace”, though I dont see how some prims in a couple little used sims is disturbing anybodys peace. His response? “Totally worth it.” I agree. A great contribution to the LDPW, Jack should hire this fellow right off the bat to help improve the neighboring city sims. I happen to know he’s quite talented.

Obviously this created an eRiot because all of you get butthurt at the very mention of 4chan. Also, we (PN) have tech to do this, and it is publicly available.
