Second Life has been getting a lot of press lately. There have been stories in the news about people living in a world somewhere between reality and fantasy. Other news stories have explored how Second Life has become a new way of conducting real-life business...see also. Other articles have discussed the for-profit business that have cropped up selling virtual products to the virtual inhabitants of Second Life. But this news from last week is about as weird as it gets. The reality TV show Big Brother is going to launch an episode set in, yup you guessed it, Second Life. You can read the press release here. The winner will receive a tropical island in Second Life. So, what do you think? Is this a marriage made in heaven or do reality TV and Second Life fans deserve each other?
