Britain has been having a good laugh at these two unfortunates. TV
comedians have been making jokes about them and Second Life.

But in the 'real' world it is a sad case of two unemployed, obese,
unappealing down-and-outs making a fantasy world where they were
young, slim, attractive, etc.

Not so much getting a Second Life, as they need to get a first life.
