Video: Industry Jumps Shark, Puts Ads on Flies (No, Seriously)

Wait, what? Watch the video above, please, so your eyes will know they haven’t been deceived. These are flies you’re seeing, with advertisements attached to them like a plane dragging a giant “Eat at Joe’s” banner.

The execution is from Jung von Matt and Nectar, reports AnimalNewYork, and was used for the relaunch of German publishing house Eichborn, which let 200 of these little guys loose on a convention.

These are the same people who thought up the porn watching, probably masturbating dog, so.

Just watch the video.
