  2. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Huh?

  15. 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?

  16. 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.

  17. 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.
