Teens create Second Life PSAs on obesity, piracy, intolerance

(Also posted on Rikomatic.com) Youth non-profit Global Kids announces that five teams of teenagers has completed 30-second Public Service Announcements created in Second Life.  The PSAs cover a range of issues including obesity, media literacy, piracy, discrimination and safe surfing on the net.
