The Human Avatar Project

In conjunction with the impending release of All Points Bulletin,a crime MMO brought to you by the people who worked on the Grand Theft Auto series,comes a unique marketing stunt unlike anything we've seen before.

Presenting the Human Avatar Project.The developers have hired two living,breathing people to become real life characters,their appearances editable based on YOUR votes.Spread over three weeks,the project allows players the chance to vote for their preferred tattoo,haircut,piercing and clothes.Each choice is carried over onto the human avatar.

The project is currently at the Player stage,a choice between dancer Jordan or free runner Josh.As you can see from the picture,Josh is leading the race with a whopping 75% over the 25% held by Jordan.Will the results stay the same,or will last minute voting tip the balance to Jordan's favour?

Either which way,I would not volunteer myself for something like this.Knowing the Internet,Jordan or Josh could look like real tripped-out psychopaths at the end of the project.

Decide how Jordan or Josh will transform at the official site.
