Wonkette posted Rik’s machinima of the protest – without attribution 🙁 – and generally made fun of us, called us hippies, etc. As Rik pointed out: “there’s no such thing as bad publicity.” And as I replied: “there’s also no such thing as a kind word from Wonkette.” In other words, I’m honored to be on the receiving end of their snark.
Give it up for liberals: they managed to find the one way left to make traditional protests even more ineffectual and embarrassing. Have ‘em on the internet!
– ‘Second Life’ War Protest Ensures Continued Occupation of Iraq For Next 1,000 Years – Wonkette
Unfortunately, this post wasn’t nearly as funny as most Wonkette entries, but it’s a start. I see we’ve caused them to create a new category for politics in Second Life, so we’re clearly having some kind of impact, 😉
Here’s Rik’s machinima video with music by Sweet Honey in the Rock. I understand a longer video may be in the works.
Actually its the first track on the “Panther” movie soundtrack, featuring a boatload of R&B vocalists including Aaliyah, TLC, En Vogue, BlackGirl, SWV, and Vanessa Williams.
Mad love for Sweet Honey, too!
My bad, I was sure I had heard that tune before. Who is the artist or was it a combination of tracks?

So where is the attribution for these YouTube videos?
