This page shows an actual ad for a Panasonic baby monitor.

I have no idea why anyone would make an ad that looks like this, particularly for this product.

However, it should be good fodder for anyone having trouble coming up with a Pseudopod-appropriate story...

"People commonly use the word 'procrastination' to describe what they do on the Internet. It seems to me too mild to describe what's happening as merely not-doing-work. We don't call it procrastination when someone gets drunk instead of working." - Paul Graham

OMFG. Advertising Fail.

I'd like to hear my options, so I could weigh them, what do you say?
Five pounds?  Six pounds? Seven pounds?

I think that's one baby that definitely needs monitoring. Public safety demands it.
