Genetic mutation: the pros and cons

Threes How you feel about genetic accidents may depend on whether you work for Bacardi or Greenpeace. The ad at left, with the three-breasted woman, advertises BetterThanBeer.com, a bloggy-type enterprise from Bacardi Canada that specializes, obviously, in things that are supposedly better than beer (like many-breasted blondes). The ad at right, from Greenpeace, hinting at a sad three-eyed human off-camera, is designed to scare people off genetically engineered food. The copy reads, “Who knows what long-term effects genetically engineered food could have on your family?” Throw in those weird dual-cyclops ads from Kodak, and we may be seeing a burgeoning advertising theme here. Via Ads of the World and Houtlust.

Three tits are only better than beer when the beer in question is either Budweiser, Miller or Coors.

I disagree with the previous comment.
I'm intrigued.
