This has so much corporate double-speak in it about adult content I hardly know how to begin deconstructing it.
The Stealth Press Release
The funny part is -- the avatar standing next to the release looks like he could be smoking whacky weed. Even if it's just a ciggy, I find the irony mind boggling.

I figured they might change it if some smarty like me noticed it. That's why I saved him:
 And in context:  Horny devil. Wonder if he's adult verified? _____________________

We made this decision, and defined and developed this program based on the direct requests and feedback we received from the Second Life community. OK, I must have woken up in the wrong Universe today.  -- Aes |

It could actually be true. The press release makes it sound like the community in general asked for it but it could still be true if a number of people suggested from it from time to time, or made to comments to them such as, "Everywhere you go, it's sex sex sex. I'm fed up of walking into sex all the time." A few Linden Alts would do the trick, throw in a few of their FIC friends and BINGO! A grass roots movement. I like how they call Aristotle their "Age Verification Solution". _____________________

They omitted a critical word:
"The migration of adult-oriented content from the Mainland to..." should read "The FORCED migration of adult-oriented content from the Mainland to..." . And who among RESIDENTS would even have known that press release existed, let alone have had a chance to read it? _____________________
