The Obese ADHD Turkey on Crack Viewer
A list of the viewers being lost as the developers leave SL in advance of the new TPV policy taking effect. http://my.opera.com/boylane/blog/ And of course, aside from the developers who will no longer be finding and fixing bugs while LL is too busy adding unneeded features, unusable UIs and massive security holes allowing griefers to trivially obtain IP addresses and potentially take over computers, the larger own goal is probably that some will go on to build more viewers for other compatible networks that will not have the constraints built into the viewers for LL and so will be better suited for griefing and ripping when used on SL. And already some of those available on the p2p networks as both binary and source are indistinguishable from the official viewers.
Obese
Fat and Bloated. Like the UI of the Obese ADHD Turkey on Crack Viewer
A.D.H.D.- Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder
What anyone will be who attempts to get any actual work done using the Turkey on Crack viewer after experiencing "Third Party Viewers."
Turkey (n)
a loser; an uncoordinated, inept, clumsy fool OR a tool; a person who is not in with current culture and slang or is just generally uncool.
[ Emilie says : Either of these descriptions, "uncoordinated, inept, clumsy", an "uncool loser" describes the disastrous ToC viewer, but does not completely capture its full aweinspiring awfulness. ]
On Crack
Generally someone whose actions would lead one to believe that the person is using crack cocaine due to the stupidity or messed-up-ness of their actions. Used to describe something stupid, messed up or to express frustration with something - if something is mad, bad or just plain wrong, it can be described as "on crack", or, for added emphasis, "so on crack".
[ Emilie says : For that, I turned to this adjectival phrase to try to convey the complete wrongness of the UI. ]
(Above definitions for Turkey and On Crack via http://www.urbandictionary.com )
[ Emilie says : Both terms are dated and corny, to match Linden Lab's inept "Fast, Easy, Fun" slogan (inept because they have been, and are, anything but, and the phrase is echoed everytime something messes up again), as well as having been inspired by users clicking around like demented chickens as the screen bounced and joggled around, under the spell of the malevolent user hostile UI of the Obese A.D.H.D. Turkey on Crack wanna-be-a-browser viewer, sometimes styled as Viewer 2.0 by Linden Labs. ]
Wannabe a Browser
Tries to hide all the useful stuff behind a browser interface, meaning that everyone needs to know what they want to do, what Linden Lab's has called it, and where it has been hidden before it can be used. A catasrophic modal failure where tasks that were once one click away are hidden, buried or missing completely. I cannot sufficiently emphasise how terrible this user interface is. Try it. Like most experienced users of Second Life (i.e. the one's who have been there for longer than three days hours), you will probably hate it.
