P-E-T-T-Y

Have you been paying attention this whole "Second Life" thing? It pops up here and there in the news. My local radio station, KLBJ, talks about it from time to time. I don't really follow it but its one of those things that kind of follows you.....good marketing I guess.

I came across an article a friend sent me about Second Life and a computer company. The company is planting trees "on-line" via this game to appease the Dark Lord Xenu or something....maybe it was global warming. Anywho, its seems that some green leaf got his panties in a twist. The author is claiming that this company is not helping the environment by accepting donations to plant trees with. Instead the company is killing the environment (not stated how) and is attacking the company for polluting (again not stated how) the environment.

pet·ty [pet-ee] –adjective,
1. of little or no importance or consequence: petty grievances.
2. of lesser or secondary importance, merit, etc.; minor: petty considerations.
3. having or showing narrow ideas, interests, etc.: petty minds.
4. mean or ungenerous in small or trifling things: a petty person.
5. showing or caused by meanness of spirit: a petty revenge.
6. of secondary rank, esp. in relation to others of the same class or kind: petty states; a petty tyrant.

What do I think of it? I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count! ;)

P.S. All hail the Dark Lord Xenu!
