Here's a story especially for Halloween:
A scary but true tale of an American reporter in Asia trying to communicate around The Great Firewall of China. The supression of free speech is horrible, but... but... oh, come on, isn't that just such an awesome pun???
And if you're still not satisfied, Wired has published a slide show of some very geeky jack-o-lanterns, including this 3D replica of the Death Star. Force not included.
Okay, so I can tell that's not enough, that you need something more like seared-into-your-brain scary. Well, you asked for it: Remember how frustrated you were back in 2000 when your SIMs could barely figure out how to hug each other? Well, you'll want to step out of the way of this big heavy pendulum. Now all kinds of really gross stuff is possible on Second Life. Some of it may even soon be made illegal by the supreme court! Wow, the first amendment part of my brain is fighting with the part of my brain that can never undo what it saw when I Googled "she-male" back in 1999. There are drawbacks to growing up in the information age, you know. Now that's what I call scary, folks. Happy Halloween.
