Second Life, that virtual community of, like, 8 million virtual residents who trade virtually and even have sex virtually. Now they’re being deprived of one popular virtual activity, virtual online gambling.

For un-virtually uninterested dude like me, it’s virtual insanity!

Because normal people don’t get off in the virtual world. That’s for people with no life to look forward to. My advice to these guys, go out with real people, get drunk with real people, and for God’s sake have sex with real people!

And what’s the next best thing after getting banned from gambling virtually? Go to a real online casino site and play for real. If you don’t want to, well you can always spend those Linden dollars buying stocks at the World Stock Exchange.

Linden Labs, the company responsible for Second Life, has announced as its new ruling the banning of participating in online gambling activities. This comes two months after they made another rule saying it would no longer tolerate “broadly offensive” sexual content in the once free-wheeling world. Punishment for violators is expulsion from ‘The World’. story

Well if they’re gonna act like some cranky-white-right-wing-republicans and all, who would want to stay in that world anyway? Isn’t the purpose of creating a virtual life is to do the stuff you can’t act on in the real world?

I bet if Second Life is going to be boring in the long run, the members would be very happy to get the boot. And then another will rise. And another…and so on…

And I still wouldn’t be a part of it.

[Virtual online gambling? Play in real online casinos — blackjack, baccarat, poker and gambling Las Vegas style — and get paid for real! That’s the way to do it!]
