If only it was that simple.
…but think of it! My friends, if it was that simple then for less than two dollars I’d be bestowed with the dark ability to hypnotize my way in to financial security, world peace, and a bitchin’ Camaro. I would be able to weasel my way into the Lincoln bedroom, spirit myself to the front of every line at Disneyland, and whisk my way through the express checkout line at the supermarket with more than 15 items with No. Questions. Asked.
Life would be sweet.
One thing disturbs me though. What the heck is this guy pointing at? Is he breaking the fourth barrier and pointing directly at me beyond time and space though this print advert? Is he simply pointing at the cameraman in a dramatic, practiced pose? Or is he pointing with stunned shock at some sinister dark force steadily creeping up on the camera man as his picture was being taken in a desperate attempt to warn said cameraman that something none-too-nice with teeth and claw is about to ruin both their days? The mind reels at the possibilities.
He’s pointing at the reader. The ad itself is an attempt to hypnotize the reader into writing out a check for $1.98.
