Good Morning SL Sucks
I received a message via the contact form on this site, today. Here’s the message, in full:
“Hi, I am a tv producer who works on a national morning show in the US. We are doing a segment on second life and looking for a story of someone who is on it and their partner who doesn’t understand it. We pay all travel and hotel costs to NYC. The segment is tomorrow so we need to move ASAP.
Thanks so much!”
Thanks for the advance notice, but I’m sure I won’t be taking a trip to New York to talk about how bad Second Life sucks. Even if I was still “on it”, I’m sure that my real life job wouldn’t appreciate me skipping out on them to be on TV… especially to be in a segment like this.
The television industry seems to be getting pretty desperate for stories, if they have to do stuff like this, in my opinion.
If anybody happens to catch this episode and gets it recorded, I actually would be interested in seeing how bad it is, though. Leave a link in the comments, if you do.

Nice article. Thanks.

My partner is on second life and I’m fed up with it. We have two young children and he is missing out on them growing up. He spends at the very least 4 hours a day, on workdays, and on weekends he leaves it on all day and night. It has the power to break up our marriage as I feel pushed away, we have less in common as we don’t spend time together. The Linden Corp has a lot to answer for- how many marriage break ups are you responsible for?He is sleeping less because he is addicted to “playing” it.
