“Ad”ding on a Couple Pounds

It’s unclear how to parse the myriad emotions that spring at advertisers on first sight of these images–is it respect for the seemingly miraculous ability to reach Column A from Column B? Disgust by the encouragement of innocent beings to ingest this “food”? Scorn for the vastly inferior quality of creative work? It might not be anything as complex as anger, envy, or LOHAS disapproval…it might just be hunger, because those meals probably come with fries and a drink and is it lunch time yet?

    I like this ad. It reminds us to mind our calories. However, one can’t help but be suspicious that the author is a vegan. He or she should see the Australian ad.
