Navy SEAL Pix

[Ooh-Rah]

THIS magazine ad was one of the most impactful and cool ads I have ever seen for a military branch ( and the Corps has had some cool ones...remember the Knight fighting the chess pieces that was always played during NFL games?)

Anyway, I've always wondered if there were really SEAL's in the ad ? Surprisingly heated topic on the Google...what say those who may actually know?

That is kind of a rip off of the SF poster from a few years back. Oh well.

... and the SF ad is derived from all the SOTIC class pictures, which show a picture of the wood line and a list of students inferring that they are so well hidden. Big hint- there's no one in any of the pictures.

I think one of the best ads has to be the video of footprints in the sand slowly being erased by the incoming tide. That was sublime.

That was a bad ass commercial.

I kept staring at it and all I could see was a sailboat.

Nice...but then how would we release classified pictures for all of our book/video game/movie deals? :wall:

It's like those holographic 3D pics ... You have to stand about 12 feet away from your screen and "look through" the pic to see it.


I keed. I keed...

I was never able to do those stupid things.

Anyone who says they can is a liar.

Anyone who says they can is a liar.

Not lying, but I did it once, strictly by accident. I was walking through the mall on a mission, thinking about the errand I needed to run. I went by a display in the center of the mall, and saw a picture. On my way back through, it the picture was an illusory mess. I have never been able to do it since.

I want to make a book of them that don't have anything in them and see what people say.

I keep trying and I almost have it. It is hard to let your eyes go unfocused long enough to see it.

I can see all that shit cause I am a ninja space shuttle door gunner and I was holding that back for PERSEC reasons and national security...

Inspiring back story...

Mike Monsoor’s mom, an elementary school teacher, had recently lost her son in one of the most heroic actions in the history of War. Her class, on their own accord, created a hand made American Flag for her which was then sent overseas to thank the boys for standing in harms way. Mike Monsoor was awarded the Medal of Honor in Iraq. Thank you Mrs. Monsoor, for giving us a man above all men with the heart of a lion.

ITS A FUCKING SCOONER YOU IDIOT

This is why I talk to you. You're like me but better looking, in shape, have a cool job, people look up to you, and....not a sudden case of crippling depression.
