Jewelboxing ad April 2, 2005 12:00 PM   Subscribe

I heart the Jewelboxing flash ad in the Blue sidebar! I have wasted many happy seconds mousing over the case to watch in infantile fascination! ...open the case... close the case! ...open the case... close the case!

Wow, that's certainly different from the other reaction it got.
Personally, I just heart jewelboxings. :)

Haha, I keep playing with it too. Why aren't there more simple photographic implementations of animated mouseovers in ads? This beats most elaborate mouseover menus and Absolut games.

While I agree the Hebrews have made real contributions to athletics, I think singling out any one ethnic group or religious faith and encouraging them to hit each other is simply wrong.

"Jew Boxing" is as offensive as "Bum Fights".

phew! I thought it was only me. Cheap good times.
NickDouglas - it is damn smart advertising - interactive is better than all the annoying flash &c on the face of the planet - which I pointedly don't ever look at/read.

When I moved my mouse over her, she flipped her green and purple dyed hair off her slighty asymmetrical but pixie-like face, flashed her tattooed, pierced, but wholly natural tits and then put an asp to her bosom and killed herself!

It fulfilled all my goth-girl Cleopatra necrophiliac fantasies!

And... even in the throes of death, she vibrates!
