Red Light Center Exposed

You know, I've never really understood the whole "cybersex" thing - seems too much like a game of "type dirty to me, honey", and I tend to prefer the real McCoy rather than just words. But this takes the cake:

Next up, also by female request, is a spa where you can get massages, pedicures and mud baths. "It's in a very serene, comfortable, outdoorsy setting," says Ray. "With trees and little rabbits running around."

Could somebody explain to me the point of a virtual mudbath? Or a pedicure for your digital avatar? Do their toenails grow, or what?

And they laughed at my generation for dropping acid and talking to mailboxes ... This is the same thing: it's digital, virtual LSD, where you can take a trip and never leave the farm. Complete with fluffy bunnies...

This has to be filed under Humor because I can't bring myself to take anything this ridiculous seriously.

One of the first adult 3-D environments offers both more and less than it promises. We remain cautiously hopeful. Commentary by Regina Lynn.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
