The Call Girl Character Class
An anonymous reader writes "And you thought stuff like WoW was addictive before? 1UP has posted a story from CGW about the new character class in MMOs: call girl. They interviewed girls who make up to thousands of dollars a week as escorts in the MMO Second Life. The article even sheds light on virtual pimps and a gentleman's club that takes a cut of the action. Said one of the escorts interviewed, 'Based on my personal convictions, which most people would find beyond offensive, I do not set boundaries in Second Life. I'll do anything, and I'll probably do it better than the client expects.'"
I disagree... I think ALL call-girls are classier than lawyers and/or politicians because they know and readily admit what they are: Whores. Politicians and lawyers are also whores, but they're in denial about it and think they're "helping society" when all they're really doing is selling us all out for a few bucks.
I have no objection to people doing "dirty" things for money in and of itself. What I object to is the pretty face politicians put-on when talking about their campaign contributions. They call it a "neccessary evil," but they're wrong. It is only a "neccessary evil" if you let the candidates raise private money.
If nobody is allowed to donate anything, the playing field gets a lot more level.
Who did what now?
Snow Crash was awful.
If other reasons we do lack, we swear no one will die when we attack
It was pretty bad.
