I've lately seen a couple of ads that caused me to do a genuine
doubletake.  It's amazing how very specialized subjects find their
way into mass advertising.  For example, locally here in L.A.,
amidst the cigarette and other billboards, I saw a billboard for overhead
robotic gantries.  Gantries???  And just now watching television,
(a local L.A. independent) I saw a commercial for a horse breeder
trying to rent out his horse for studding purposes.  This was admist
the hair spray and Ginsu Blade commercials.

Something is amiss...
