ReplyDeleteHow in the hell does that have anything to do with epilepsy.......unless they are targeting kids...even then though.....sigh The dragons are cute though!
ReplyDeleteNo 3.
ReplyDeleteWell, 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.
ReplyDeleteThey've finally legalized marriage between dragons and killer robots?
ReplyDeletethere's a vertical line between the robots and dragons, looks like you glued 2 pics together?
ReplyDeleteToday I learned that epilepsy is caused by evil robots.
ReplyDeleteAnon 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.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the magazine crease in the middle, that's how the ad appears.
B. Definitely
ReplyDeleteHuh?
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious that what's approved are dragon-fighting humanoid robots.
Obviously F, as it is "now approved", and was an ad in a magazine.
ReplyDeletehuh.. i would have guessed heartburn med.. i like how the dragons have opposite colors. and the little one seems sweet. damn those robots.
ReplyDeleteThey 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!!!
ReplyDeleteThe open beta of D&D next is going to include rules for Mecha.
ReplyDeleteWhat drug was it for? Can you say that in a blog?
ReplyDeleteOnfi (Clobazam)
ReplyDeletethe robots and dragons are cute :p
ReplyDeleteI bet you have to have epilepsy to get the promotional toy dragons and robots .
ReplyDeleteUm, 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.
ReplyDeleteHow 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.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a new Wii game.
