The Second Life AVI Choice Awards Are Back Again

The AVI Choice Awards bring out the best in people.  The selections the committee makes are always rubbish but the mud starts flying long before the selections are made because so many people know they will be rubbish.

There are two main contingents in the commentaries:

  • The first is going for Straight-Up Bellyaching about how much the AVI Choice Awards suck.  This won't go too far as they also sucked last year and will probably suck next year.

  • The second is the Quit Bitching and Join Them crew.  Apparently the Join Them crew thinks you won't want to commit suicide if you are a party to Mankind Tracer being elected Best Rock Vocalist.

For my part, I don't care.  Second Life is a lot of fun ... so long as you avoid the cheerleader popularity contests.  They revolted you in high-school.  Why would you want any truck with them now.

The best shows in Second Life very rarely get the biggest crowds as "Wrecking Ball" and similar dreck play big to people who like to look at pictures of food.  They also dream of getting for Christmas one of those machines that removes callus from their feet.

I've said it before but I'll use it again:  if you're interested in contests, you're better off getting into a spitting contest or hitting things with hammer.  Music is not a competitive sport.
