Plastic Duck On the Air This Thursday

The Duck is back! Even a letter to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation from Linden Lab PR operative Catherine Linden couldn't stop him. At long last, the infamous CBC interview with alleged griefer extraordinaire Plastic Duck -- who took third place in competition for the Herald's coveted 2005 Avatar of the Year award -- is being aired. (Other residents are featured as well, of course.) The program goes on this Thursday, July 6, at 9:30 in the morning, though check the schedule for local listings. You should be able to listen on the streaming section of the CBC site as well. Find out if the Duck's really dirty, or if Catherine has been smoking quack. (Sorry, couldn't resist. Note to Coco: You can blame Walker for that one, just fyi. :)

Is anyone going to be standing by to make a citizen's arrest until the cops get there?

Nah, it's pre-recorded, I think. Plastic has gone underground. He's in the Grief Protection Program. The image above is the only known photograph of him.

This is clearly a ruse. I'm of a strong opinion that there never WAS a Plastic Duck. It was all a propaganda campaign created and spread by Linden Labs to strengthen their hold over Second Life and further stifle any creativity the community has left through fear.

I'll be very interested in how this Audio turns out.
