Hacks hit by flying penises

Cnet journos attempting to interview Second Life entrepreneur Ailin Graef suddenly found themselves attacked by flying penises.

The interview was being conducted in Cnet's Second Life bureau and was supposed to cover her business, how best to set up businesses in Second Life and the nature of online competition there.

As the interview started it was attacked by a "griefer," which is Second Life speak for someone who wants to disrupt things.

For 15 minutes the griefer managed to assault the CNET hacks with a plague of animated flying penises.

Chung is considered controversial to some Second Life residents because of her inflexibility on land pricing, the signs she has placed in many areas of the virtual world that are visible to anyone flying overhead and her ability to get many residents to sell their land to her.

In the end, the hacks gave up on trying to interview here at the Cnet theatre and went to her own space instead.

However the attack got worse there and the protester even managed to crash Chung's server. More here. µ
