Eustache was flown to Delray Medical Center, where he died, said Teri Barbera, a sheriff’s office spokeswoman.

But while celebrities and politicians fell over themselves to endorse it and the corporate world queued up to grab a slice of this brand-new market, it also started to be cynically abused and exploited by paedophiles, adulterers and porn addicts.

For behind the hype and the headlines, there’s a profoundly worrying underbelly to Second Life.

Far from being a harmless fantasy world, it is a cyber-society where conventional morality has been set aside in favour of a far darker and more worrying pattern of behaviour.

Obsessed with sex and awash with pornography, it is a ‘place’ where the behaviour of some of its ‘residents’ is so deeply unedifying it beggars belief that it could ever have been hailed as a lighthearted retreat from the real world.

Do you think you’ll be buying this game, even though a lot of the gore and violence has been removed to get a Teen rating?

British newspapers say an Internet affair in the online community Second Life has shattered a real-life marriage in England.

Reports say 28-year-old Amy Taylor and 40-year-old David Pollard of Newquay in southwest England split after she spotted her husband’s online alter-ego cuddling with a virtual home wrecker.

But while their flesh and blood marriage has disintegrated, both say they are still looking to the Internet for love.

“Ryan Chinnery, 19, found his victims as he prowled an area around his home in Ashford, Kent, in his car late at night, high on cannabis and alcohol, Maidstone Crown Court heard.

He enjoyed playing the controversial game, in which players steal cars and kill prostitutes, for “hours on end” before he went to sleep at night and had an “unhealthy interest” in pornography, the court was told.

In July of last year he grabbed one woman who was walking home and asked her for sex, before pulling her down a bank into a river, his trial last month heard.

A few weeks later he set on a woman in her 40s in similar circumstances, grabbing her by the throat, the court was told.

He pulled her down a hill, breaking her arm and leaving her powerless as he sexually assaulted her.

The court was told that police found a copy of Grand Theft Auto in a search of his home.”

“Nuts magazine loves two things…the Wii, and women that don’t mind flashing their naughty bits. Once again, they’ve put the two together for a bit of promotion. The video below is suggestive, but shows no nudity.

Just incase anyone finds this sort of thing offensive, I have put the video after the jump. The best content description I can give you is that this video has been uploaded on YouTube, and follows their decency guidelines.”

“The recent inroads made by porn into Hollywood are only one aspect of porn’s broader effect on popular culture imagery, language, style and sensibility. Music videos teem with kama sutra-esque boasting and “is-it-real-or-isn’t-it?” displays of bumping and grinding. Video games containing explicit sex scenes have been slapped with lawsuits and other restrictions to prevent them from falling into the hands of joystick-gripping adolescents.”

“A state lawyer tried Wednesday to revive California’s ban on selling violent video games to minors by arguing, to an apparently skeptical federal appeals court, that mayhem should be judged by the same obscenity standards as explicit sex.

Games in which players score points by killing, maiming, raping or dismembering human figures are “intrinsically harmful to the kids that play them,” Deputy Attorney General Zackery Morazzini told the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals at a hearing here. Young game players develop aggressive thoughts and become desensitized to violence, he said.

Just as the sale of explicit pornography to minors is banned, the state should be allowed to establish an adults-only category of ultra-violent video games, as a 2005 law would have done, Morazzini said.”
