5:15 PM -- Comcast Corp. (Nasdaq: CMCSA, CMCSK) is launching a virtual theme park in Second Life, featuring jet skiing and a race track, and eventually music concerts. And of course, plugs for Comcast services.

The AP story describes the activities as being "geared toward speed."

I wonder if that includes a standing-around area for when your Internet service slows to a crawl, as happened to me about an hour ago.

Comcastic!
