This particular bit reminds me of the Musical Youth song, Pass the Dutchie. Anyhow, we all know how prostitution lingers around in the MMO, Second Life. But if you want more uhmm, "entertainment" in your MMO and if you're 18 years old and older, then the virtual world of Red Light Center might just be your thing.

Red Light Center is a virtual reality universe modeled after Amsterdam's legal yet controversial Red Light District. In it, they offer users with nightclubs, hotels, bars, movie theaters, and stores - all of them virtual. Their new offering is a virtual Amsterdam-style smoking room and if you do a bit of research, you may realize why this made me remember the Musical Youth song.

The new feature was introduced this past New Year and according to Brian Shuster, CEO of Utherverse which is the parent company of RedLightCenter, "the response from our community has been overwhelmingly positive...WeÂ’re offering a neat experience thatÂ’s totally safe and legal."

Clicking on the read-link below will take you to their site. It's a good thing that you should be 18 years old and older to get in, but in the end, the decision of seeing what's in it is entirely up to you. We just dish out the news here anyway.
