ads: presented without comment

I was catching up on some old comics yesterday. Much as I hate that volume 5 of the Legion of Super-Heroes ended with issue #50, it does make it easy to keep up with it. Like some UK television series, finite numbers are a good thing.

Flipping through the pages, I saw plenty of the usual modern ads, no more Hostess Fruit Pies or send away for seeds and a hovercraft. Many were Ad Council type ads: exercise, stay off drugs and the infamous got milk.

Blast by ARod. Body by milk.
Before I hit the field, I throw back some milk. The protein in milk helps build muscle and some studies suggest teens who choose it tend to be leaner. Staying active, eating right, and drinking three glasses a day of lowfat or fat free milk helps you look great. Step up to the plate and try it. [click image for full size]

… ok, then. My current favorite is still Masi Oka’s ad.

In other news, I have a splitting headache this morning. I blame it on having a vegetarian dinner last night. Clearly my body was not prepared for the meatless shock. 😈
