« STILL SURVEYING CELEBRITY APPEARANCES | Main | SECOND LIFE ART AND MACHINIMA CONTESTS »
The UK's esteemed Channel 4 has an extended segment on the in-world protest/
surreal firefight waged against France's Front National. I help describe the pig-inflected scene with my original reporting, and after we travel to the Front's new location, Channel 4 reporter Ben King manages to record machinima equally strange protest footage. (I like how SL machinima is gaining acceptance as a genuine news tool for established mainstream outlets.)
