Title: Creepy Ads
Post by: TehBorken on Jul 11 06 08:08
 Creeeeeepy.

These ads in the back of  "The Observer's Woman Magazine", are just too much for me. Let's summarize: Incest, fascinating dental information, a child from a Michael Haneke film, a woman who thinks she's doing porno, a very bad pack shot and the sort of grammar you find in a 419 scam. I'm sorry, but these two have it all.

The text, in case you can't see it, follows.

"Mum did you know...?
"Dirty teeth can kill you!" PREVENT DISEASE.com
"Bad diseases can start in your mouth." abcNEWS.com
"Gum diseases can be an early pointer to Alzheimer's?" scotsman.com

Ja-a-ames...don't worry,

we use Beverly Hills Formula,
active10 the new ultimate toothpaste
with 10 health promoting agents."

This is the second ad in the series....

I can tell you right now....I'll never buy "Active 10". I'd be embarrassed to be seen leaving the store with it.

What...

  the...

  f*ck?...

  Those are for real?  Aren't there laws?  Just cause the kid's not naked doesn't mean he isn't being exploited in ... my god that's wrong on so many levels I can't even...

  I can not wrap my brain around the agency that came up with that shit, nor the publishers of any magazine that would be stupid enough to run it.

They're not aimed at intelligent people, SD
