    I would think that mentioning, "Then again, it may be a trap!" would be counter-productive to encouraging sales.

    Then again, it might be a joke.

    Is that Marie Severin art in the FF ad? And isn't that Dazzler face an eerie, 15-years-early premonition of Baby Spice?

    Love these. It's like when public radio personalities go on-air during pledge drives, but with more unitards (well, I guess I don't know what Terry Gross wears to work, but ...).
