Picture the scene - Jean Michel Billaut, recently promoted ‘Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur’ by President Chirac for the promotion of the Internet in France, walks buff naked into the Socialist Party conference rooms to be greeted by right-wing fanatics throwing hand grenades.

These unlikely events took place last Thursday at the PS Comity HQ in Second Life. J. M.
