In a bizarre example of Second Life leaking into the real world, a political assembly on Saturday led by chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov was disrupted by a flying penis.

Kasparov is a leader of the Other Russia movement, a loose coalition of activists opposing Vladamir Putin and the current Russian government. Over 700 people showed up for the event in central Moscow, but Kasparov's speech was interrupted when a large phallus-shaped helicopter started buzzing around the room. The Moscow Times attributed the prank to "a couple of pro-Kremlin Young Russia activists."

Compare this incident to the Second Life prank from 2006, where a CNET interview with virtual real-estate magnate Anshe Chung was interrupted by fifteen minutes of flying penises, courtesy of a group of griefers called Room 101.

The big question: Did the pro-Kremlin activists controlling the penis helicopter know about their Second Life counterparts, or was this just griefer minds thinking alike?

One scholarly type estimates the peniscopter's protrusion to be roughly 14 times the size of Casio Techs' teenski peenski.

I've always wondered how long it'll be until Kasparov ends up 'missing' or dead by strange circumstances. Death by flying penis would definitely be an unexpected end to his life. :laugh:
fwiw, I'm a big fan of Kasparov, but obviously Mother Russia doesn't share my sentiment. ;)

I have to agree. If I was in his situation, I'm not sure how I'd respond to a random flying penis. I guess you just have to let your training take over. :p

What if the helipenis was running on hydrazine? Or had a surprise payload? :Q

BTW, Kasparov's comment was pretty funny. He said it was the government showing its face and that it means that they are probably not too worried about demographics situation with a face like that.
