I have always been interested in advertisements when I travel. There is something about not being able to read the text of an ad that brings the images and layout into sharper focus. The ad in question is also a product of some interest to me these day: disposable diapers.

I saw the “girl version” first and really wasn’t quite sure what to think. There’s definitely some interesting stuff going on here.

And then Frank pointed out the “boy version” to me.

Of course, as I said, I can’t read the text. But I sure find myself wondering what the message is…
