An image of the female from Second Life

 

I find this image a bit odd. Firstly the creator Lapin Paris kicked me and a few other people out of a group for daring to talk about the status of Africa in the Internet and on Second Life. Yet the ad still comes, Capitalism.

But beyond my petty emotions the image itself is strange. I am not entirely sure where the source of the blood is suppose to be. In fact looking closely at it we can see that this is absurdest blood, impossible blood. Blood that soaks and spatters the bottom of a long dress until it is soaked like a burka in the rain, and yet leaves the shoes barely touched and does not spatter to the face or chest. This blood that spatters but not like blood spatters in a body. Perhaps it is the product of some kind of blood spattering machine, or an image of an unpleasant surgical event translated on to a gown without existing there.
