I don't get it

I had no idea Second Life was as weird as it appears to be.

I had no idea that people were actually setting up home with complete strangers in the virtual world.

I do have a Second Life account. I've looked at Second Life once because it was being hyped at work.

I found it too complicated. I didn't understand what I was supposed to do. It wasn't a game and it didn't seem to have a purpose.

I've just seen a programme that showed people having affairs in the virtual world that spilled over into real life. I saw a couple get married in the virtual world with the mother of the bride and best man joining the ceremony via PCs. Later they viewed their virtual wedding album.

I still don't get it, and I think that's a good thing.
