NextStreetSL is a fun, Schadenfreude-ish blog devoted to snarking on the stranger items found on xStreetSL, the Lindens' ecommerce site. Featured at left, for instance: Virtual Percocet. (Warning: Occasional NSFW posts.) Anonymously written and relatively new, NextStreetSL arrives on the scene during peak controversy over recent xStreet policy changes against freebie items. Ironically, many of the products covered by the blog are freebies, so NextStreetSL may wind up becoming a historical record of products soon to get pulled. (Then again, unless it's being created in Second Life by the good people of Endo Pharmaceuticals, SL "Percocet" is an unauthorized trademarked product.) Hat tip: Ms. Alicia Chenaux.

I wondered what that spike in my blog views was all about :)
One correction if I may. Of all the products I've featured only a very tiny handful are actually freebies. I list a quote from the listing and the price in the caption of each item image along with (in most cases) a link back to the item listing.
If the efforts of Linden Lab to clean up the junk from XStreet are successful no one will be happier than I, but I wouldn't hold your breath on me running out of material anytime soon. :)
