No 3.

Well, since Michael Bay's Transformers can cause seizures (as can most Michael Bay movies, too many flashy explosions) and Godzilla is from Japan, the second largest pharmaceutical producer, I say F.

They've finally legalized marriage between dragons and killer robots?

there's a vertical line between the robots and dragons, looks like you glued 2 pics together?

Thatgirl said...

Today I learned that epilepsy is caused by evil robots.

Anon 10:12: The ad was a 2 page spread in a journal, and I had to cut the pages out separately in order to scan them.

Except for the magazine crease in the middle, that's how the ad appears.

History Doc said...

B. Definitely

Loren Pechtel said...

Huh?

It's obvious that what's approved are dragon-fighting humanoid robots.

Vagabond Rx said...

Obviously F, as it is "now approved", and was an ad in a magazine.

Tracy said...

Just Me said...

They are trying to get kids into reading medical journals at an early age by providing lots of kiddy like pictures? Advertising get them young you know!!!

I bet you have to have epilepsy to get the promotional toy dragons and robots .

Thoryke said...

Um, so it's one of those brand-awareness ads where the marketing department thought they could get away with not having the full indication and side effects if they just never mentioned what the product was called?

No, all of that info was in the ad. I just cut it out (it was all at the bottom) because my focus was on the odd picture.

How is this different from the Kia Soul car ads with the cute little dancing, head nodding, hamsters and then those weird, dancing, ominous looking robot things. It's another strange ad.... and ends with the song lyrics "everyday I'm shufflein'. Granted, I'm not in advertising, but none of this computes. But hey, unlike many ads, at least I can remember the object they want to sell: Kia Soul, a strange looking car. Now it's onfi.
