Wow. There is a really an active debate about the Pros (pun intended) and Cons (pun intended) of the sex industry...

Not too crazy or directly game related, but an interesting story at least that could be expanded into something gaming related...

Those that played in Ross' Skype game know why this is in the game fodder thread. If not, just wait for two years when Ross releases the file: http://itchyi.squarespace.com/thelatest/2010/7/20/the-longest-photographic-exposures-in-history.html

Not fully fleshed out but the link
http://www.amazon.com/Animorphs-26-Attack-K-Applegate/dp/0590762591/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1281741212&sr=8-1

I was a huge nerd for Animorphs years ago but I have this idea that stems from this book....While the idea of two near-omnipotent beings picking champions to play a part in there great game is decent game fodder... My idea is different.

In this book the planet they go to use memories for entertainment, they buy sell and trade peoples memories. A person sells their memory of a specfic life event, and others pay to experiance it, like a movie but your IN it. Feels like there is something there for gamey goodness, plus it tranfers across genres. Sci-Fi aliens to Fantasy Fey Creatures... hell even a dumbed down version could go good with CoC, like an artifact that holds a vital clue, but costs sanity to exsist and experiance someone elses memory to gain that clue.

sounds like gaming fodder if you ask me.
42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
If you can't fix it with duck tape you haven't used enough.
I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

Somebody posted this over on RPG.net:

75 Year Old Fetuses Found In Trunk

The old fetuses part is bad enough, but what's up with all the connections to Peter Pan?

Also, should I be concerned about the fact that CBS news is devoting coverage to this, or is that just a sign that I'm ten years behind the Weird News curve?
