IMVU Advertises With Avatar Like Avatar From *Avatar* on Article About Second Life Advertising With Avatar Like Avatar From *Avatar*

Second Life isn't the only virtual world using the success of the movie Avatar to advertise its own avatars. The 3D chat world IMVU has also been doing that in recent weeks, and because the company often runs banners on my Google AdSense bar, that inevitably led to this awesome convergence, screen-captured for your pleasure: an IMVU ad with an avatar like the avatar from Avatar, running on an article about Second Life advertising with an avatar like the avatar from Avatar. If you know what I mean and I think you do.
