Warning: I’m not a big fan of Reuters content… in my opinion it’s faily biased. Now time for the joke: Bringing fake news to the virtual world, Reuters launches Second Life bureau today.

Reuters is a very serious, old brand that stands for things and has principles, but that doesn?t take itself so seriously that it wouldn?t play in a gaming space. I loved the title of that article “The Reporter Is Real, but the World He Covers Isn?t”, makes me wonder how much more real can Second Life get. Next thing you know some of the players will be buying online prescription drugs to care for their avatar’s health, while others will be in drug rehab centers, how’s that for a second life ?
