There's more novelty to post that this has some 'virtual world' slant, when really it does. "Fake items, virtual items" holds no water. It's code. It's jpgs or polygons, and the same concept applies. It's source code.

They pay people to think up new ways of getting their name into press releases. I know this because a friend is involved, and unloads his angst over the odd email. Remember the "worlds first virtual terrorist act" secondlife disguised PR? Lies well disguised!
