O ... kay. While this isn't directly related to SL, it is unusual enough to post. On a recent the Consumerist post, someone asked whether the new YouTube/Google deal will encourage amateur video production in sweatshops across Asia. The reply from the Consumerist? Yes, " ... much in the vein of Chinese sweatshops that go around questing in WarCraft and having Second Life cybersex for their lazy American masters."

Now, clearly, this is meant as a tongue-in-cheek bit of sarcasm to the (possibly fake) question. Still, the two comparisons are completely inequal. Who would have cybersex for someone else? Got a girlfriend who just has to have it all the time? Trying to break your fraternity's record for hot av-on-av action? Still a virgin, but are too shy to even cyber on your own? This is one of the weirder things I've seen out there, but Yog Bless the Internet, I'm still glad it's there. It's given me a reason to post.
