Diablo 2 Items Bringing Home the Bacon

||Plazm|| writes: "I read an update over at Diabloii.net that talks about how some items in the game are producing sizeable income for some people. It points to an article at the San Francisco Chronicle describing some of these money makers. One banker claims he's made $25000 since he started with Diablo 2 and Ultima Online! Who are the people paying real money for this stuff? A few bucks is one thing, but a few hundred? I believe this has been talked about on /. before, but is the 'problem' getting worse? Is it a 'problem' at all?"

    Imagine a time when the words "gay" and "lesbian" were taboo in the media- a time when your newspaper had blatantly homophobic stories on the front page and the entertainment industry didn't give a second thought to negatively portraying lesbians and gays on television or in motion pictures- a time when lesbians and gays were otherwise invisible in the media. This was all occurring less than ten years ago, before the formation of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).

    The wife, on the other hand...

    ...made $150 000 selling pictures of herself masturbating, because her hubby was too damn busy playing Everquest to give her the bone.
