Obay me! One way or another...

[Phopojijo]

Okay so there's these really frickin' creepy ads floating around town... and according to the internet -- several cities across Canada. (Maybe further -- but the talks about it I've seen are all Canadian).

**Sorry about the long pic -- shot tags didn't help much**

There's no known affiliation, no website -- but it's OBVIOUS they're making jokes. "My kids used to have ideas of their own... Obay fixed that!"

So my logic based speculations:

1) It's a viral ad campaign...
2) It appears to be anti-pharmaceutical...
3) It got a lot of money so it's affiliated with something big...
4) It appears to be only in Canada.
5) No website nor contact info -- so it's phase 1 of something.

Canadian Government? Health Canada? Parenting?

... or a poor marketing campaign by the makers of Ritalin? :p

Clearly a joke by a bunch of parents pissed at all the pseudo-medicines floating around that supposedly control kid's behavior.

Its probably something along the lines of those Concerned Children's Advertisers-esque things, its satirical.
But I'm still looking for those damned house hippos.

You can find one by looking at your mom.

Turns out it's from the Ontario college conglomerate. They're making a "Media Launch Event" at Centennial College.

Given this information -- probably designed as a "let your kids make their own decisions... University is not NECESSARILY the best choice" thingie. You know "Don't live through your kids... let them choose their own lives".

Turns out I was right -- most of the ads got replaced by "Luckily Obay doesn't really exist... let your kids decide their own futures. (and a link to Ontario Colleges website)"
