Second Life Launching In Japan

Big news for Japan-based MMORPG-ers: The Japanese version of Second Life is about to launch! You can sign up for the beta version now.

I got so many wildly inappropriate sexual messages from online weirdos, befriended former sex workers who now run escort services online, people who left their real life husbands for their second life husbands, and some dude who called himself Dr. something-or-the-other, a self-proclaimed sexual harassment specialist. And I got paid by the hour to do this.
