[LINK] ABC's Second Life Island Trashed

[Adam Todd]

Isn't that Terrorism?

I think that's a declaration of war!

Time the ABC got itself an Army and covert operatives and started 
hunting down and taking out those terrorists!

Defence has some spare money to spend, maybe they can train the SAS 
to operate in Second Life and take out the bad guys!

Ohhh yeah!
