An independent in-game newspaper published in The Sims Online is being censored by Maxis for running ads for underage in-game sex.
So The Alphaville Herald continues to push the edge of the envelope. In this case the envelope has "Underage Child Sexual Solicitation in Virtual Worlds" written all over it. They're running a mind-boggling interview with an avatar who's been turning tricks in TSO since the early days. Since this sexual activity involves real money, an under-age protagonist, and the violation of a serious number of federal and state sexual solicitation statutes, it's your required reading for the day. Call it research.
Oh, did we mention that Maxis, the developers of TSO, have started to delete in-world references to The Alphaville Herald?
