PETA is working hard to save baby seals from club-wielding orcs. Of course, the second part of that sentence refers to World of Warcraft. Blizzard, the company behind World of Warcraft, is creating a special event to help raise awareness among gamers about cruelty to animals.
Snicker if you will, but it's no weirder than some of the Second Life special events. In fact, it's arguably less weird, if you think about how self-selecting the interest groups in Second Life are. If the point is to get to an audience that wouldn't already be thinking about the issue, it's worth giving the World of Warcraft experiment a go.
At the very least, it's a much, much better idea than flavoring tofu with George Clooney's sweat.
The george cloofu is the final straw. We have gone so far advanced that we are running out of useful things to do with technology. Thanks for the update on seal protection efforts.
