RunningWithBulls.com - The curse of Sanfermin

I am really not sure where to start with this video. I mean its amazing and so sad at the same time.

Are these people being exploited? Are they real Internet workers? Are they better working in farms?

I have to be honest and say that Second Life and World Of Warcraft scares the life out of me. I find them utterly fascinating, and terribly uneasy at the same time.

No matter what people say about it being the perfect utopia, I think once humans get involved the whole thing becomes just another parallel of our real life messed-up world.

I have spent most of my time in college connected to IRC, and IM, and some MUDs, but this scares me.

Also see the MTV (I know, MTV, but the clip is interesting) news section on gold farms. This You Tube and the MTV footage is from a documentary by Ge Jin

It might be a strange things for a self-confessed tech-head to say, but its the truth!
