There are these virtual worlds and online games through Facebook, MySpace and Second Life. They scare me. They are the subject of dystopian movies like Gamer and Surrogates. Bottom line: Bad shit goes down when people live in virtual worlds.

Well, as VentureBeat reports people will have spent a billion dollars on "goods" in these virtual worlds by the end of 2009. Yeah ?- you can buy items in these virtual worlds. No ?- you don?t use virtual money. You use actual money. What?s that about?

It gets worse. When you buy things in these virtual worlds you don't even get anything real in exchange. They are "digital goods." Not a movie file. Not an MP3. A small image of a teddy bear that just represents a teddy bear in the virtual world.

So, let?s say you?re about to go to a coffee shop. You can either be an ethical consumer and go to a local coffee shop ?- thereby investing in your local economy. Or, you can go to a Starbucks, which will export your money from your community into a multinational company -? but at least it contributes to U.S. consumer spending. Or, you can go to a digital coffee shop, which will turn your money into digital nothing and give you a little icon with a coffee mug on it instead of a real coffee. I think I?ve figured out where a billion dollars of our economy went last year.

No wonder the economy is in the crapper. People are buying and selling things that don't even exist.

While I was browsing the bowels of the Internet today, I stumbled upon this popular link to a ?Coffin Couch? that someone was selling on Etsy.com.� Etsy, if you're not familiar, is a website that?s equivalent to a hometown craft show, where as long as people pay for their little table, they?re able to sell whatever they?d like.�

It's like eBay, but worse because people make the items themselves. �Kind of like a garage sale, but worse because people again, made the items themselves. �There's no possible way that 99% of these sellers can be making any cash from this stuff.

For example, the guy selling the coffin couch is also selling these awesome blood chokers for $16 a pop. �Blood chokers. �This lady's selling a peacock top�for $48. �Yeah, that looks comfy and realistic. Did you need some ketchup earrings�for $4? �I don't; never will. �Sure this stuff is unique, but who needs more unique garbage? �

In fact, I'm not the only one who noticed this site/yard sale for crappy items. �There's a whole website devoted to horrible Etsy items.��So whomever ends up buying this weird coffin couch, hats off to you. �You're buying the cream of the dump.
