The blog entry I linked to that supposedly gives instructions on how to create a giant avatar is dated April 1st of this year. Also, if you go there and read the instructions, there's a contradiction between them and the first photo--the 1 meter cylinder attaches to your hand at its midpoint, so if you move it down .9 meters, no amount of rotation will leave it still touching your hand.
A friend says it is indeed an April Fool's joke. I will email the blog author to try to find out what is really going on. If it is a joke, I apologize for propagating it; I consider practical jokes a particularly vile and cruel form of alleged humor.
UPDATE: The author confirms that it's a hoax.
