More reasons to laugh at FarmVille or anti health reform astroturf

I recently discovered a post about an on-line about a scam on farmville!

Over in America where Health Reform is the current hot topic on the legislative agenda, the health insurance lobby is getting social gamers, like those of Mafia wars and the dreaded FARMVILLE, to contact their member of congress (an MP in the UK) and oppose health care reform in exchange for virtual currency...

Apart from horrifically misleading to lawmakers who are trying to help some 12million onto health insurance who don't have it, what does this tell us about the demographic of a Farmville/mafia wars or many other social games?

They're dumb. Unquestioning & passive.
They'd happily sell their country to the control of corporations.... for some fake money and a pig...
Oink.
Oink.

But that is a little unfair, if it was for supporting health care and i played that gaming stuff i probably would.

But the intent is clear, to mobilize individuals into opposing health reform and for this opposition to not appear corporate.

Shame really.
Very deceptive.
