A Little Too Far

Advertising is everywhere. Commercials come at us on television, radio, newspapers, magazines, direct mail, e-mail, billboards and even on the car that parks across the street.




Today, though, I think the movie companies may have gone a little too far. What do you think?







Can you see it? Do you know what that is????

I'll tell you.

It's my breakfast.

Printed on the shell of every egg I just got this morning from the local grocer is this advertisement for the release of Eragon on DVD!

Usually my eggs have a little stamp on them with a short code and a 'use by' date. I suppose that once they figured out how to print on an egg shell it was only a matter of time before it turned into an advertising opportunity.

Where will it stop?


**Update: Here is one company that is selling this type of advertising. Crazy!**

Un-be-liev-able! Those little dashes are for the annunciation I would use when exclaiming this!

I don't know what else to say!

I think if I ever found anything written on my eggs, I'd get chickens, covenants or no! I would certainly stop buying from that company and write to tell them why.
