Politik-Digital.de: "Die Insel des Ex-Fußballmanagers Reiner Calmund in „Second Life“ hat die deutsche Community in der virtuellen Welt wachsen lassen. Während die Einkaufstempel einiger Konzerne veröden, schwankt die Atmosphäre bei Calmund zwischen Ballermann und Fanmeile."

Quote from the discussion over at Second Life Herald (Gambling on the Virtual World Trade Center): "Yeah, nothing honors the memory of 9/11 by building a to-scale replica of the towers, then charging out of the ass for people to put in their dildo, dog penis, pony girl, and sexual asphyxiation tanks stores up for sale."

Daily Telegraph: "EVERYONE knows Australia is a long way from Europe – but not many would expect their journey from Germany to Sydney to involve catching six connecting flights and take almost a week to complete.

Guardian: "Is this Bush's secret bunker?

Mount Weather is a top-security underground installation an hour's drive from Washington DC. It has its own leaders, police, fire department - and laws. A cold war relic, it has been given a new lease of life since 9/11. And no one who's been inside has ever talked. "
