...I'd say it was a *bit* of a stretch if the slogan wasn't COLLAPSE
INTO COOL. This ad still resembles the whole thing enough to
where it would have started some controversy, but what's up with that
Slogan!? Collapse into cool?? It doesn't even make sense unless
its a play off of the world trade center tragedy.
Remember the movie poster for The Little Mermaid?? It had a big
penis on it. This isn't my imagination. It's a plain as day penis that
caused them to pull the video release when it was finally discovered.
It was a case of a bored animator slipping something in for his own
ego and amusement and getting caught. I think this ad is the same
type of thing. I think it was created as an obvious WTC parody that the
bored creative advertiser thought he could slip by as his own inside
joke. But that's just my opinion.
Then again, your brother laughed. So ignore all the above.
