Second Life Becomes Useful in Obesity Prevention Campaign

We all know Second Life jumped the shark long ago but when an Ad Council campaign pokes fun at something you know it’s really over. This PSA for obesity prevention has fun with Second Life oddities while urging people to wait 15 minutes before having seconds because, as most people don’t know, it takes the brain longer to realize the stomach’s full than the stomach itself. The ad points to a site, launched Thursday, called Small Step which, among other things, educates people on portion control.

Other elements of the campaign kick off next week.
