The word of the day and Second Life

Today's word of the day is titflesh.

No, I will not say where I heard that one. I let you use your own dirty imagination. It sounds funnier in finnish though... Tissiliha.

You know Second Life, right? Right. Of course you do. If you don't, I say it's virtual world, like Active Worlds.

Anyway, Second Life promotes cybering. Here's a direct quote:

The first type of unskilled job is the night club "dancer". Since club
owners earn some money by attracting crowds - through a complex formula that
converts the time and number of people that are inside their club for a period
of time into a weekly L$ stipend - it's natural for them to hire people to
attract these crowds and make sure they stay there as long as possible. Dancers
are one way to do that.

To become a dancer, you have three alternatives. Sometimes, jobs are
offered on the Classified section of the http://forums.secondlife.com/
forums. You can browse the forum groups to see if someone is hiring. The
second way is, some clubs sometimes announce special events just to hire
dancers. This has become slightly more rare in later months, so perhaps you
should try the third way: go to a club you like, try to get in touch with a club
owner, and ask him if a job is available.

Some club owners pay a fixed salary, but expect you to be at their club for
a certain amount of hours per week (including mostly all announced events at the
club, to get a "full house"). Others rely on tips - either paid directly to the
dancers, or through tip boxes. Some dancers also do stripping or offer
escort services.

Of course, this doesn't come as a surprise. Second Life is known for it's... X rated content. But still it's rather weird for them to be promoting it like that on their webpage.
