5AP in a complaint filed in GetARealLife court countersued 0rac1e alleging creating “corporate boredom & misrepresentation on a grand scale” (editorial note: This is 9.2 on the Richter Scale not to be confused with scaling the Mt. Everest).
In a complaint filed Friday in GetARealLife in San Francisco, 5AP
alleges that 0rac1e employees have posed as 5AP virtual employees to
gain access to 5AP’s GetARealLife online community. Once logged in, 5AP
says, 0rac1e repeatedly bored 5AP virtual employees by talking about integration of their 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 different companies and used web 9.0 technology to build smaller communities within their older and more boring web 2.0 community also called InternetWeaver.
5AP also alleges that 0rac1e stole other “confidential materials” such
as color schemes for their virtual shirts and their color mechanism
for their skins. 5AP seeks unspecified damages to the tune of US$0.02
and for stealing their white box documentation format – which 5AP had
uniquely colored “eggshell white”. Both 5AP and 0rac1e shares were
trading up on the Spandex Exchange (GetARealLife’s official Dollar
exchange).
In late 2008, 5AP said, it noticed unusually heavy traffic on its
GetARealLife virtual community site. That was because “0rac1e sales
reps using 5AP customers virtual id’s who
expired or soon-to-be born had, in a matter of a few days or less,
accessed and copied thousands of boring software code and support
materials,” 5AP said.
“We would understand if 0rac1e would copy the virtual identity of a
cool community such as InYourFace, but to take something as boring as
our stuff is really nutty” said Jane KnowItAll, CEO of 5AP.
Bob IAmTheRealGod, CEO of 0rac1e responded “D-uh”.
PR expert Giovanni Rodriguez
said “This is a new age PR tactic that I did not expect from either
company. Hats off to their PR outfits, they should hire more of our
people.”
