Thank you Chris, I was just needing new ideas I like the Paparazzi Ads on the bottom of the page.

Those are cool, but I always thought the best optical adds were +2.00 and +2.25. (I have always felt a little sorry for +1.75, 'cause it seems to get overlooked a lot: too strong, too weak, rarely just right.)

It seems like most of these ads look for something funny or cool to look at. How many of them actually get their message across?

How many ads do you see on tv where you do not remember what company or product was being advertised? How many of the ads that you love fell into this? If people do not remember your company or think it is for another company, how much use is this ad for you?

That Ray-Ban "Skull" poster ... use an image editor to reduce the area of the black surround ... and I think it would shrink down nicely to serve as a great custom OptiBoard poster avatar for someone.

If I didn't already have an avatar, I'd use it myself.

Grrrooaannn.. You beat me to it.

There it is.. an avatar-sized version of the Ray-Ban "Skull" poster.

If you want a custom avatar, this one is here for the taking.

(Of course, it might not appeal to everyone..)

I think a lot of those were really funny and cute, but that's about it... they don't make me want to have an eye exam or buy glasses really. I noticed a lot of them were from overseas too... guess we don't think vision or optical is very funny, LoL.
