GEEK ALERT, CHAPTER SEVEN

For folks who spend most of their waking hours living the life they wish they had in the virtual reality known as “Second Life,” good news: Playboy Enterprises in setting up shop there with the official launch of Playboy Island. “Playboy's Second Life retail location will feature merchandise from its e-commerce sites, PlayboyStore.com and ShoptheBunny.com. Residents can purchase Playboy-branded apparel either for the real world or for their Second Life avatars,” they said in a release. Good for Playboy; nice to see them attempting to reach new markets wherever they are. And for the Second Lifers? While we hate to state the obvious, we will anyway: Dude, get a life.
