Green Genitalia Santas Take Over Second Life

by Erin on January 2nd, 2007

Science fiction movie or truthful phrase? Sometimes it’s difficult to have any kind of hope for human beings as a species.

In a creative twist to continued hacking attacks on Linden Lab’s Second Life, an enterprising soul seemingly deemed the previously haxxored ‘grey goo’ as boring and wormed their own self-replicating object into the game code: laughing green genitalia wearing a Santa hat. The offending code also spammed obscenities at random Second Life players (livers?) and ground servers to a halt.

I tried to find a screenshot of the lime-coloured organs, but alas, searching ‘green genitalia’ on the internet was perhaps not the wisest thing I’ve ever done. Thankfully someone did the dirty work for me already, and I’d like to extend full credit to MMODump.com for catching the Christmas Day Goo on virtual film.Rest assured this is a true story, as the problem was acknowledged by Linden Labs, who worked to rectify the problem rather than spending quality time with their families.
