Jumpman Lane Leaps To Lab's Defense - Burns Stroker Serpentine in Effigy

Slut Magazine owner's pictorial campaign against Second Life SexBed Entrepreneur

by Pixeleen Mistral, National Affairs desk

Taking a cue from the NoH8 campaign, Jumpman Lane hopes to mobilize metaverse sentiment against Stroker Serpentine by inviting well known avatars to join a pictorial campaign supporting Linden Lab. Asked for comment about the effigy, Mr. Serpentine said, "Which one? LOL" and went on to point out that Jumpman  "has done more for raising awareness then any posts/litigation we have garnered, people immediately ask 'What Lawsuit?'". According to Mr. Serpentine, at least one burning effigy has been rezed in his in-world shop.

Jumpman Lane has been waging an ongoing campaign against Mr. Serpentine's SexGen business on various forums and in his own literary publication - Slut Magazine - apparently concerned at the potential effect of the class action copyright and trademark infringement lawsuit brought by Stroker Serpentine and Munchflower Zauis.

Putting his own unique spin on the NoH8 idea, Mr. Lane hopes to entice players to pose next to a burning effigy of Mr. Serpentine nailed to a cross. I learned of the new campaign when Mr. Lane contacted the Herald yesterday and offered me a chance to join:

Jumpman Lane: sa pix
Jumpman Lane: since strokers baner ad ran out
Jumpman Lane: u wanna take a effigies pic?
Jumpman Lane: show ur supprt for linden lab?

Pixeleen Mistral: is someone going to pay standard ad rates for it?

Pixeleen Mistral: what kind of effigy?
Jumpman Lane: uve never seen it?

Pixeleen Mistral: no
Jumpman Lane: pretty good likeness actually
Jumpman Lane: well take a gander at it

[I decline Jumpman's teleport offer]

Pixeleen Mistral: I'm working a story right now - sorry I can't join you
Jumpman Lane: well il passu one
Jumpman Lane: rez it later

Pixeleen Mistral: thanks
Jumpman Lane: np
Jumpman Lane: i rezed one at his dump

Will Jumpman succeed in helping the Lab - or could this be a case of volunteer assistance that the Lindens would prefer to avoid? This would not be the first case of overzealous SL fanboys attacking perceived threats to their favorite game.

This is one of the more retarded things SL has produced recently.
Also that effigy is very poorly made.

Jumpy's back - poor spelling and all! What's even more interesting is his apparent support for the Evil Empire against Stroker. I find myself strangely torn as to where to stand on the issue. On the one hand, I believe Stroker has the right to defend his intellectual property using the law - and the law applies to virtual worlds as much as real ones. But I think suing LL is wrong because I don't believe it's right to hold LL responsible for the actions of others. I smack to me of the old-fashioned "sue the folks with money, not the actual folks who have none."

Of course, I should also admit that I am now well into celebrating the New Year by imbibing home-made White Russians and my ability to think straight may be impaired ;)

Welcome back Jumpy - looks like no-one bought you a dictionary or a spell checker for 2010.

[Jumpman Lane]

Ive been here since beta,and i find myself asking,who in the hell is this jumpman?ive seen his replies in the comments and have always figured he was one of uri s alts when he was drinking............

[DJQuad Radio]

@Sigmund - I find it ironic that you call people out about English lessons and then say something as intelligent as "I smack to me". Is assclown in your dictionary?

[Pappy Enoch]

I still want Jumpy's butt! Git over here, boy!

His English am perfect, so y'all shut up. He ain't got to talk for what I wants...just squeel.

[Sigmund Leominster]

@DJQuad: "assclown" is in my dictionary, however "proofreader" clearly isn't ;) And as for Jumpy's command of the English language... why, he makes Pappy Enoch seem positively erudite. But more amazing than that is the fact that Jumpman is rooting for Linden Lab! You go, girlfriend.

[Jumpman Lane]

pixeleen u need a new graphix card :) that effigy looks better than that!

@ Sibby the bitch! I am a man of letters lmao! and everyone knows i love second life!

I was sent a notecard named "strkoer ar" today by Jumpman Lane along with an animated gay statue of what Jumpy claims is an effigy of his avatar. Jumpman then encouraged me to file an abuse report for somthing he himself did just a few weeks prior.

Jumpman Lane: rezz the object
[16:40] Jumpman Lane: ar it under jharrassment
[16:40] Jumpman Lane: defamation
[16:40] Jumpman Lane: be sure to slap his name in the abuser spot

The note is as follows:

15 feb 2010, [time] [location] of my report but this takes place all across the grid as Stroker shared the object in many of his groups

Stroker Serpentine created this object intending to maliciously defame Jumpman Lane violating 4.1IV of the tos: (iv) take any action or upload, post, e-mail or otherwise transmit Content as determined by Linden Lab at its sole discretion that is harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, causes tort, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable; compare the name, Jumpman Lane to Humpboy Lame, the title Kang of SL to info found in Jumpman's profile

Jumpman was in essence giving me a report to copy\paste against this stroker guy, for what i asked? Jumpy could not even tell me because he could note remember. Anyhow just wanted to say jumpman lane is an idoit.

and to the self proclaimed king of digital slut land Jumpman Lane,

Thanks for all the $L you gave me, Thanks for choosing to fuck my avatar during the Centerfold Shoot, and most of all thanks for allways reminding me never to do drugs.

P.S. In real life I am a man :-)

[Jumpman Lane]
