Magnified to uncomfortable proportions

I use vtext.com to send text messages to my girlfriend because punching letters into a phone makes me feel like an asshole.

Those familiar with vtext.com will know that in the lower right-hand part of the page there's an image of a woman having way too much fun at a text messaging website. Using the right click -> zoom trick with Flash, I was able to make the website look much creepier.


(as always, click for a larger view)

Her joy is MAGNIFIED to UNCOMFORTABLE PROPORTIONS.

(Turning in rent checks, Heidelberging it up.)

I think if you want people to think your product is going to make their lives better, stop showing them smiling and laughing while using it. Just show them having loud orgasms. An example:

A man pours a glass of orange juice. He drinks the orange juice. then spits it out and yelps, clutching the breakfast table. He falls to the ground, shaking as a large stain forms on his pajama pants.
A deep voice says, "Tropicana: You'll have an orgasm."

This works for other stuff, too.

A woman is stepping into a shoe when she falls on her side and starts screaming with pleasure.
"Shoes: Wear them, and you'll have orgasms."

One more, then I'm done.

A man looks up and says, "Hey, is that a red balloo- OH GOD I JUST CAME IN MY PANTS."
"Balloons: They'll give you an org-AAAGH I JUST THOUGHT OF ONE AND MESSED MYSELF."

That balloon commercial is based on a true story.
