Complete with pirates! "Get a First Life" is a send-up of MMO Second Life. It was created by self-proclaimed non-SL hater Darren Barefoot, and one page parody site offers "Get a First Life" members perks like "go outside" or "fornicate using your actual genitals." And the kicker? Linden Labs found out about this and contacted Darren, writing:
We do not believe that reasonable people would argue as to whether the website located at http://www.getafirstlife.com/ constitutes parody — it clearly is. Linden Lab is well known among its customers and in the general business community as a company with enlightened and well-informed views regarding intellectual property rights, including the fair use doctrine, open source licensing, and other principles that support creativity and self-expression. We know parody when we see it.
Ha! Happy to know Linden doesn't take itself too seriously and is all for fornicating with actual genitals.
