Second Life Spawns High Profile Prank?

This has to be one of the craziest stories of the day.
Basically, back in 2006, a CNET interview was under way with virtual real-estate magnate Anshe Chung when it was interrupted by fifteen minutes of flying penises, courtesy of a group of radicals called Room 101.

Fast forward to last Saturday, when the great Russian Chess Grand Master Garry Kasparov was also disrupted by a flying penis. This time the prank happened at an event with over 700 people in a central Moscow location.Kasparov, who is now the leader of a political party opposing Vladamir Putin, had his speech interrupted when a large phallus-shaped helicopter started buzzing around the room.

‘Flying RC penis violates chess master’s airspace’
was another headline used to describe the story. Check out some of the close ups available of the RC helicopter.
So, the question is, was the Second Life prank a spark for the RC helicopter idea? It looks very similar. Either way, it’s still amusing!
