Winners & Losers: Peter's picks 2 winners, the avatar Anshe Chung (the quintisential frags to riches story) and the PR/marketing industry (for getting their acts together in SL); Joseph's winner is Borat/Sascha Baron Cohen and Losers are those who minimized what could have been a brilliant idea with Jay-Z performing in Second Life
