Avon teams with Resident Evil's Umbrella Corp. for face cream?
var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gaming_news/Avon_teams_with_Resident_Evil_Umbrella_Corp_for_face_cream'; ... OK, so this is a joke, right? Avon isn't serious with the design of its Derma-full face cream, an exact replica of Resident Evil Apocalypse's T-virus. We were astounded recently when we caught the commercial for Avon's product on television, a "skin care breakthrough," delivering "fullness perfected, not injected" for aging skin. The beauty in all of this is not only does Avon's bottle look like that of the T-virus, but, in the film, the Umbrella Corporation's Regenerate product was also originally intended as a similar skin-rejuvenation cream. We're thinking some young marketing guy at Avon got a big laugh when he got this passed. Enjoy comparing both commercials after the break.

The current board of directors is made up of: Bill Campbell (Chairman and former CEO, Intuit Corp.) Millard Drexler (Chairman and CEO, J. Crew) Albert Gore Jr. (Former Vice President of the United States) Steve Jobs (CEO, Apple, Inc.) Andrea Jung (Chairman and CEO, Avon Products) Arthur D. Levinson, Ph. D.
