Avatars Gone Wild

I've been mulling it over in my head and I just HAVE to talk about this.

There is a new AP bundle called Avatars Gone Wild by Hot4Krissy and GothPoser. It's pretty much exactly what the majority of you are thinking - an IMVU version of Girls Gone Wild. I have no issues with the bundle itself. I'm sure it's great. But the marketing gets a HUGE thumbs down from me.

Do you see what I see?


In case you don't get the clue, the avatar lifting her shirt to expose her e-breasts for the world to see, is wearing a wedding ring. Which leads me to my next question(s)...

  1. Who did the marketing for this bundle?
  2. What mastermind wore a wedding ring for the picture?
  3. Does this turn you off from buying the bundle?
Don't get me wrong... It's likely the fault of IMVU. It usually is come to think of it. Most creators don't get much, if any control over the pictures and marketing. But whoever is to blame... know that I find this is very poor taste.

I honestly had not noticed that. o-0 It does put me off, but it is IMVU, and I'm just tired of trying to make excuses for them. The whole "avatars gone wild" thing has put a bug in my ear from the moment I first saw it...since you can't go "wild" on IMVU anymore...not really, anyways.

LOL!! I didnt notice it either, until you pointed it out. There's only one word for that.. "WOW!!!" /Sarcasm

I dont buy IMVU's promotional bundles in the first place, but if I did, this would not be a bundle I would buy.

Thats extremely a turn off. I hope other's realize that there is a wedding ring on that finger!

Well, it isn't necessarilly a wedding ring... some people just like big bling and i think thats what they tried to reflect on the bundle promo .

(omg i'm defending imvu now XD).

LOL Gaf! I understand the want for "bling" and for a bundle such as this, I think wearing flashy jewelry would be appropriate. But it's clearly on the left, ring finger. lol

I hadn't notice the ring either (this is Ken/Giu btw). I was more or less pissed that "they went there" advertisement wise, trying to say that there's wild sexual activities going on within the AP world of IMVU, when its far from the truth.
