First WoW death? So how about next weekend you guys (and you know who you are) make a play date in meatspace and play disc golf or something?
Also, this article is another in a series of disappointingly non-informative articles from the tabloids CNN.
CNN is where I get all my juicy news! And, it has the best headlines ever.
Speaking of hyperventilating internet reportage: "Teen Finds Her Flickr Image On Bus Stop Ad". There are several interesting misguided aspects to this -- they've named the photographer and Creative Commons as codefendants -- but my favorite is this:
The family charges in the lawsuit that the experience damaged Alison's reputation and exposed her to ridicule from her peers and scrutiny from people who can now Google her. "It's the tag line; it's derogatory," said Damon Chang, 27. "A lot of her church friends saw it."
Righhht... as opposed to the situation now that you're granting interviews to major media outlets. Not to mention filing a nuisance lawsuit against a camp counselor and the nonprofit that helped draft the copyright protection you're leveraging in your suit. And the fact that she apparently has a large quantity of church friends in the greater Adelaide area. Also: she looks really broken up and angry about it in that photo, don't she?
Stupid plagiarizing Aussies (lecture|vid).

That article sure was non-informative. For all I know, we was surfing AE or playing KoL.
