Edwards HQ Cyber-Vandals: Non-Partisan Pranksters
Edited on Wed Mar-21-07 05:52 PM by IanDB1
Despite the tragic whining on John Edwards’ blog, it turns out the cyber-virtual computer-world “Second Life” maniacs who let loose a “feces-spewing obscenity” on the handsome candidate’s cyber-virtual computer-world “Second Life” pretend campaign headquarters are not lonely Republican cyber activists.

The hit on Edwards’ HQ had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with making the intolerable boredom of “Second Life” sort of funny. Webzine 10 Zen Monkeys reveals the gang behind the hit is notorious for pulling dadaist pranks on the nervous cyber-avatars who spend all their time buying virtual penises and having furry conventions and virtual orgies on pretend nude beaches.

<snip>

“We simply did it for the lulz… The fact you were so bent out of shape to make a blog post on the OFFICIAL JOHN EDWARDS BLOG about how some people placed a bunch of shittingdicknipples on your lawn is mighty telling.”

We don’t really know what this means, or how you “vandalize” a computer screen in the video game or whatever, but here are some other pranks the E-Terrorists recently pulled off:

* “Blocking the exit doors on a <gay> disco’s private rooms, and filling its dance floor with an annoyingly large box.”
* “They returned to build a wall with a swastika of American flags, and eventually created a ‘Doomsday’ weapon that creates endlessly replicating cubes.”
* “The group also claims weapons like ‘the Dong Popgun’ (which fires a barrage of penises), and the ‘Cosby Block’ (proliferating posters of the Jell-o pudding pops spokesman).”

1. They Call Themselves The Patriotic Nigras
ED Article Patriotic Nigras

They've been doing this to a number of sites, including one called Habbo. If you don't have a wry sense of humor, you won't like this gangs style

6. They seem to be primarily gay-bashers...
They target mostly gay-oriented sites in Second Life, and say things like, "Pool Closed due to AIDS."

7. While the language is there
I think it's more for shock value and getting under peoples skin. They pride themselves on their Uber Trolling skills.

5. He bitched about his Second Life campaign headquarters...
...being attacked by a "Feces-spewing obscenity."

And as much as I love feces-spewing obscenities, I have to say that this particular act of sabotage was both... oh, I give up..

Feces-spewing obscenity!
