Mark Warner Makes Campaign Stop in MMORPG

by: midas

Here’s some MLP (Mindless Link Propogation) for you. Former governor Mark Warner and possible 2008 Presidential candidate made a campaign stop in Second Life, the MMORPG (massively-multiplayer-online-role-playing-game) which I know almost nothing about, but which always seems to have mildly famous people showing up in it.

This kind of blew my mind - it may blow yours when you see his absurd Avatar. Pictures Galore.

Is this bumping Howard Dean’s “successful” Internet campaign strategies up a notch? I think that the problem that these politicians fail to realize that for all the hype you build up on the Internet, people on the Internet simply don’t vote - especially not MMORPG people. Besides, half the time when the Internet loves you, they really think you are stupid and they are just being trolls.

Remember: the Internet never laughs with you. At. Always at.

  1. I mean I vote.

    Also, I feel like the *idea* of Second Life is better than the actual concept. I don’t know anyone who actually plays that game. So it seems to get a lot of press because it is neat, but no one really plays it.

    Now if he showed up in Halo2 or WoW, now *that* would be something.

  2. And by “actual concept” I meant “execution.”

  3. yes, but you can’t just show up in those games. He would have to be good at them for anyone to care that he was there.

  6. I mean people play it, but then again, “people” use ICQ and beat black and white. I don’t know those people, but i’m sure they’re out there.
