This is a definate “WTF Second Life” moment as HBO has announced it bought the rights to film a seven episode documentary shot entirely in Second Life.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - HBO said on Tuesday it has acquired the rights to a short-form documentary shot entirely within Second Life, as entertainment companies increasingly turn to virtual worlds as a source for new content.

“My Second Life: The video diaries of Molotov Alta” purports to tell the story of a man who “disappeared from his California home” and began issuing video dispatches from Second Life. The popular virtual world, which has its own currency and a growing economy, has drawn millions of users who create alter egos called avatars and interact with people from around the world.

Game of the day, leave a comment naming one of the Second Life subcultures to be documented! Fun for the whole family!
