My eyes hurt for advertising

This is another Flash add, unfortunately the hypnotism use in the beginning of the ad kept me from screen capping it in time.
While I was impressed by their send off of the old butler Jeeves from askjeeves.com (now ask.com) I have to say this is pretty darn good too.

First things first, show results coming up that are stylized as Google. Then scroll by AND blur them so it hurts the viewers eyes (mission accomplished), then show them how slick clean and cool your results are and how neet your widgets are.

If only by the relief on your eyes and your gullible want for results you go forward, you are added to their statistics and they get more money by advertisers as you are their product, maybe no more than a statistic, maybe a sale. I'm not a sale unfortunately, they'll have to target me better than that, but it was a good shot.
