Oh my Lord is this funny:

Second Life is free to play, and I keep seeing people referring to it in the news, so I had to take one for the team and just dive on in. I knew it probably wasn’t going to be intriguing when I got to the signup part and couldn’t even make a one-word name. I had to use some fantasy-ass last name and I couldn’t even use cusses. The best I could do was call myself Wenis.

Wenis Swindlehurst: How do I hit people
Foxbrand Leprechaun: You can’t
Wenis Swindlehurst: I need that shit you drive.

I downloaded Second Life once. It freaked me out. Not only was it painfully slow and dull, as this dude says, it was filled with cartoon avatars of actual people. It made me very sad to think that there were real, lonely people creating cartoons of themselves and pretending the cartoons were their friends. And they all type in that crappy un-English webspeak that drives me up a freaking wall. A rule of thumb: if you can’t be bothered to type out the word “are,” I can’t be bothered with you.

(Thanks, Boingboing!)
