It's a cross-promotion orgy in realistic unreality Second Life, where Showtime and Altoids have teamed up for a virtual, pirate-themed pride parade. As you can see, the mints and the media came together to celebrate lesbianism in all its blessed forms.
…For all of June, Altoids, with the assistance of The WDDG in coordination with Electric Sheep, will be running "Gay Pride Month @ L-Word Island" in everybody's favorite virtual world. Events include a carnival, a date auction, gay prom and two massive parades that sync with the LA, New York and SF ones on our side of reality.
Alright, we're all about gay pride, but do we really need to have one in a make believe world? Also, why are Second Life lesbians pirates? We thought gay men stole that title long ago.
Check out some "pictures" from the illusory event.

If all this virtuo-creepiness hasn't yet compelled you to run outside to hug the nearest passing flesh-and-blood lesbian, a Flickr stream offers photos of the most recent Virtual Pride festivities. Peruse them at your leisure, but be warned you may awaken tonight in a cold sweat from a nightmare starring a one-eyed lesbian pirate and giant mint tin with legs. [...]

[...] Following last year's Fanisode contest comes The L Word's latest foray into the arena of cutting-edge promotion: The series has teamed with cyber community Second Life to create a Virtual Lesbian World, where fans can dress up an avatar (Butch and Lipstick options not yet available), and mingle with other L-Word fans at the virtual The L-Word Club (pictured above, looking not unlike the virtual L-Word Women's Detention Facility), grab a coffee at The Planet café, or catch a lecture at the Amphitheater.
