UNUSUAL AD: What Happens In the Litter Box Should Stay In the Litter Box

This as I spotted on the back of a magazine for Arm and Hammer Cloud Control Cat Litter and is one of the more unusual print ads I have seen recently.

When I first saw it I found it a bit jarring, gross (I was eating a sandwich at the time) and amusing all at the same time. 

The ad does succeed in grabbing your attention (not every day you see a cat dressed in a Michael Jackson puffer jacket wearing a face mask and scooping out litter), makes it clear what how it is to help you and your cat(s) and yourself by not dealing with the nasty catbox dust, displays a picture of the product so you know what to look for at the store and the brand name so in that, it is.   In that, I would say the ad is very successful.  Have scooped many a cat box in my life, I guess I personally could have done with less realistic looking litter.

Below is an ad on Youtube with the same "What Happens In the Litter Box Should Stay In the Litter Box" and it appears that the cat is not CGI, but an actor in a plushy cat costume, but at least there are no cat box clump close-ups

What do you think of this ad?

UNUSUAL AD: 1950'S DUPONT BABY IN CELLOPHANE AD

Don't try this one at home folks! 

Even though it was different times back in the 1950's when children were told babies were delivered by storks, not sure why an ad like this was approved even back then, except it is jarring and captures your attention.

While the ad is to tout how you can see what you are buying, things stay fresh and sanitary.  

"You see what you buy so no guesswork."

"Foods come stay fresh longer-less waste"  (Next to a drawing of a baby?!)

 "And things in Cellophane are clean and sanitary." 

Note the tagline in the bottom right-hand corner ""Better Things For Better Living...Through Chemistry".  Ironic as it certainly wouldn't be better living (or life at all if in that Cellophane too long) for that baby.
