Life 2.0 follows a group of people whose lives are dramatically transformed by the virtual world Second Life. They enter a new reality, whose inhabitants assume alternate personas in the form of avatars - digital alter egos that can be sculpted and manipulated to the heart’s desire. The film is an intimate, character-based drama about people who look to a virtual world in search of something they are missing in their real lives.

Premieres Thursday, August 25th at 9/8c, only on OWN.

Hey Guys. 

I went to the link and sadly there is a very uninformed person posting over there called TheChelsea and she is really tearing down SL and unfortunately they are lies.

First she says she has to share a computer with her boyfriend because she does not have one of her own.

Next, she complains about SL requiring money ( no matter that it is roughly 250L to every 1 US Dollar ) oh and the coup de grace... that SL has their own lingo and as such, she cannot participate in conversations.

Then the best part, in her latest post, she states she makes six figures, LOL.

The people that have never visited SL and are intrigued, are getting turned off to it without even checking it out because of idiot posters like this. She even bashed one poor handicapped woman who said that she was not able to dance since 1978 due to an accident, but SL afforded her the chance to dance once again and felt wonderful.

People like this truly get under my skin, If she were telling the truth, thats one thing, but this person is embellishing and there are roughly 115 posts commenting on Second Life so its easy for many  to read everything this miserable exaggerator is putting out there, ugh

This documentary on OWN is going to bring A LOT of exposure to Second Life, however loads of people flock to the forums after an airing and a number of them will be turned off because of the wonderful " TheChelsea"'s posts.

Well...what can you do, other than vent...

LOL, the moderation took away some of TheChelseas posts, yessssssssssssss:matte-motes-smitten:

/me wonders when Anyone will make a film that reveals All the good, magic, creativity, music, art, and joy in Second Life?  The general public Always gets a distorted view of SL.   I was truly hoping for so much more from this film.
