Get this answer, from a Linden Lab employee during the adult content “press conference”:
Q: How does this initiative affect a potential merge of Teen Second Life and Second Life? I’ve talked to a lot of educators, and everyone hears over and over that the inhibitions to engage in Second Life and work with the educational possibilities, people say, ‘no, I can’t do it because penises are going to drop on my kids’
A: (Cyn): Well, I think it’s important to note that there isn’t really anything we’re going to do that’s going to keep a 13 year-old from building a penis and dropping it on his teacher’s head, you know things like that happen in the real world too – teacher’s get stuff thrown at them all the time.
Ouch. Is there an antidote to foot-in-mouth disease? I know that this is only an excerpt for Cyn’s reply, but what would posess a representative of a company who is trying to attract educators to Second Life to say that, even in jest?
