Mr. Burgess: The Grid Democracy believes in ‘photography ethics’, but do realises it’s very easy to ‘enhance’ photographs using Photoshop or other tools.

Veronique: Thank you for your support, but these photographs were actually never taken! The only thing we at the TGD party’s HQ can think of is that this must be CGI images in stead of real ones.

This flip-flopping by Evans is exactly what you would see in his administration.

Romana Wei is not about scaring anyone, she is about safety. The residents are already afraid, and that is why we must fight this WAR ON DANGER.

And Vint, come clean, that massage is no rumor. There’s photographic evidence. You wouldn’t be trying to say photographs lie would you? You? A photographer? What is rumored is that the two of you did far more than exchange a backrub and that there was machinima involved.

You wound us, Madam. We of the SLGOP don’t get into details about content guidelines for the simple reason that the full details simply would not fit into a 30-second radio spot. You may take it as read, however, that our primary interest is not in restricting the free expression of Residents, but in keeping Second Life free of interference by RL politicians and legalities. Our content restrictions will be only as great as necessary to defend against this threat, and no greater.

The primary difference here is that, unlike the present Administration, we will not keep whatever guidelines we feel are necessary in secret. We will publish these guidelines far and wide, so that any reasonable Resident should be able to evaluate any given piece of content against the guidelines and be able to definitively say “That’s OK” or “That’s not OK”–something which is presently impossible. (”Broadly offensive”? What the hell does that mean?) And that is the fundamental message of both Radio Spot #2 and the “Is She Or Isn’t She?” ad poster.
